Episode 25: ALL ABOUT BABY REGISTRIES (PART 2)

I'm expanding on popular registry sites, sharing some money-saving tips, and giving some love to small businesses.

Episode 23: ALL ABOUT BABY REGISTRIES (PART 1)

Today I'm breaking down the three places I registered at, perks of each of them, and sharing some of my favorite tips when curating a baby registry. Preparing for a baby is a very fun and exciting time, and registering for baby items can be equally as fun and exciting, as well as unbelievably overwhelming. My hope today is to help you navigate this exciting time! I'm sharing about Amazon, Target, and Wal-Mart today. Come back for part 2 in two weeks!

Episode 22: A PEEK INTO MARCH
