The Easiest DIY Teething Necklace Tutorial

Tutorial for making your own silicone teething necklace for your baby

There comes a time when your baby decides they need to put everything in sight in their mouths, and it becomes nearly impossible for Mommy to wear jewelry anymore. So you can either give up on looking stylish altogether, or you can wear baby friendly jewelry! I've seen silicone teething necklaces at most of the big baby stores, but they are kind of expensive, and I haven't really seen any colors that fit my style.

My six favorite Pandora stations for babies

If you follow along here often, you probably know that I am a nurse at a children's hospital. I work in an ICU, so children are often there for a long stay. It's tough for any kid to be stuck in the hospital, so one of the things we try to do is play fun music for the kids! Most of us nurses have a separate Pandora account just for when we are at work that we have filled with kid friendly stations. Now that I'm a mom, I'm also making use of these fun Pandora stations at home! It gives Cade and I something entertaining to do, not to mention studies have shown the benefits of music for kids time and time again! Today, I'm sharing some of my favorite Pandora stations for babies!!!
