Hi, I'm Alexandra! I'm a 34 year old mommy-to-be from Europe discovering motherhood and beyond.
I have started this channel to share my experience with products and parenting techniques that I found in books, on UA-cam, and generally on the internet. Thanks to my OCD, I spend a lot of time researching the best possible solutions before I spend my money - whether that's a diaper bag, a car seat, or a parenting technique.
It might be especially interesting for those European moms out there, because most vloggers are US or Canada based - making the shown products more difficult to buy for the European customer. I try to find alternatives or see if I can get them anyways!

BABY HAUL mini series | Episode 5: CHANGING TABLE | IKEA hack + Skip Hop
As the saying goes, there’s no accounting for taste - this is also true for the changing area. Are you better off with a fixed one or you would prefer something more mobile? Is one enough? Everybody seems to have THE solution, but it's hard to be sure until you can have that hands-on experience at your own place. So we decided to play it smart: buy them all, but buy them cheap! We hacked our IKEA drawers, bought another IKEA changing table, and found a superb on-the-go option second-hand!
SUBSCRIBE and stay tuned for the follow-up video on the final judgement in a couple of months! ;)

BABY HAUL mini series | Episode 4: STROLLER | MUTSY Icon 2019
Переглядів 4082 роки тому
Do you REALLY need a stroller for a newborn? We decided that we might NOT, at least in the beginning. But when our baby becomes heavier, we WILL need a safe place to put her down when our back is about to give out. So we took the best of both worlds, a premium but secondhand 2-in-1 stroller, which we will be able to use from birth until our baby is around 3 years old. --------...

How did midwife help after delivery? Did you get any other support at home from nurses or others?
Can you do an updated review on how the bag held up over time?
I'm so glad to see other moms have also spent considerable time researching options ... something so simple can become complicated because there isn't any ready-made affordable changing table with drawers and changing pad. Thanks so much for this video and quick demo 🎉
Is this a regular size crib or smaller?
Hi, where did you get the nightlight from?
The number one thing you need for anything you use as a changing table/area is a strap to hold your baby. Not just for safety reasons but to keep them from turning over, wiggling away etc when they get a little older. I promise you will want a strap. I had a changing table for my son and he was strapped in EVERY time. Didn't matter if I wasn't going to look away or not take my hands off him. Always strapped. As he got older and could move and wiggle around the strap prevented him from doing that. Also he was always changed on the changing table. Nowhere else. Not the floor not the couch. Changing table only. That way everything is within reach. No asking someone to go get this or that cuz its in the other room. Also its private. No one wants or needs to see you changing your baby in the middle of the living room while company is there. Fast forward a few years and my nephew is born. Gramma watches them so she changes them. She just wants to change my nephew on the couch or floor or wherever. And what do you know as he gets older he keeps flipping over and trying to crawl away. Gramma can't control him by herself so she has to have my son hold him down while he's kicking and flipping over. What a dam nightmare. I told her to stop doing it like that cuz it's rediculous. But nope she wouldn't listen so she spent a year and a half wrestling with him everytime she changed him. And again in the middle of the living room while we are all sitting there. So he has a poopy diaper and we all get to sit there and look at it and smell it while he kicks and flips over and tries to crawl away with poop on him. And gramma is yelling for someone to grab him and hold him down. And then asking someone to go get the wipes or ointment cuz they are in another room.
Which did you like the best?
You are so lucky that you got the olive color, its very rare to find that color, only grey and black.. What I got locally in Ireland is Grey.
its a bit high for you for a changing table, might be a bit uncomfortable
I am trying to find a change station too like that but it’s been so hard!! 😢
Which did you like best?
Hey 👋🏼 just stumbled upon your video and I just want to double check with you about the hospitalisation option with the Mutuelle (Partena in your case for what I saw) because for what I know, they normally increase the waiting process of 6 months to 9 months if you add the hospitalisation option on your Mutuelle if you’re already pregnant or sick at the time you request to add the option. Was it the case or not ? Thanks!
Hello, I currently am American living in the Bahamas but we are thinking about having our 2nd baby in Belgium as all of ny husband’s family is there. It is due November. Which hospital are you delivering at? For someone traveling in to have a baby do you think its worth it?
Your doggy is adorable.
That is a stunning bag. Very nice. Use it in good health. Thanks for the unboxing
Very nice and congratulations to you.
Thank you very much for your lovely video! We think exactly the same as you do and we ordered even the same colour just a few minutes before watching your video. Please continue with your great work and we wish you the best of luck!
Thank you for commenting, I'm super happy you liked the video! Would there be other items you would be keen to see a review on?
Is this Vintage or Milled? :)
Hey Rosanna! It’s the vintage version :)
