Hello, dear guest!

Hello, everyone! My name is Yulia, i live in Brooklyn with my husband and baby daughter Eva. Originally i`m from Russia, but Eva was born here in New York. So this blog is my hobby where i`m gonna share the tips about the way i raise her, some baby fashion and review different baby products we use and document the things i love.

Thanx for stopping by!

XO, Mommy and Eva.  

Current wish list for Eva. Toddler girl toys ideasFollow my blog with Bloglovin

I always try not to buy too many toys for my girl, because i want to keep the balance between what we really need and what is just a bright useless toy. So here is my current wish list for my girl, these toys will help your children to develop imaginative play, which is important, because role play stimulates the imagination and helps to learn many vital skills, improves creativity.

For everyone curious to learn more, check this out, please.

Probably, i`ll choose over this one.

Our new stroller. BABYZEN YOYO stroller review

I was a bit skeptical about the price of this stroller but I truly think the convenience is totally worth it.

If you're a New Yorker or live in a big city, I would recommend the Babyzen Yoyo as a stylish umbrella stroller option. 

It is amazing how quickly it could be opened up. You can fold, unfold and drive it using only one hand! It has a strap which means you can carry the stroller over your shoulder like a bag when it is folded.
The main thing you notice about the Babyzen Yoyo is how small and light it is. It is only 52 x 44 x 18cm and weighing just 5.8kg, so in situations where there's no elevator, I can still carry the stroller with the baby in it up the stairs.

How to feed a toddler

 I guess the trickiest part of parenthood for me now is to make my little daughter understand that i know what is best for her. I make the decisions on meals and snack time, as well as everything else. Being pregnant i was obsessed about reading books about babies, and Bringing up bebe was on the top of my must read list. I have learned some key principles from that book and i would like to share it with you, i use them from the very beginning when i started weaning Eva on solids and i made a big success.

1. Parents schedule meals. Kids eat what adults eat.
2. Eat family meals together and make them feel special.
3. Food is not a reward, punishment or bribe.
4. Eat your veggies. Key: think the variety surve veggies first, when kids are hungriest).
5. You don`t have to like it, but you have to taste it.
6. Slowly food is happy food. As in, it slowly.
7. No snacking. It`s ok to feel hungry between meals.
