Hello world, Lizzy here and I am so excited to share today's post with you all. 

As you can probably tell by the new look on my blog and the title of this post, your girl is re-branding! It was fun being TheDIYLady while it lasted and I will continue to post do-it-yourself projects on my social media platforms, but  this change is needed because I am ready to fully begin the journey to being my full self - Lizzy O. 

Some of you know that DIY for me began with my love for painting my nails by myself, and from that love came the opportunity to work with many nail polish companies and from there, I decided to share more DIY  projects with you guys. After I got comfortable sharing the things I was doing, I then decided to start sharing more about my life as a wheelchair user and some of the things I do to make life easy for me. I have shared my style, some bits about my relationship, my lifestyle and also some encouraging posts. 

Over the years, my brand has evolved and my platform can now be described as more of a lifestyle platform instead of solely a DIY  platform. I love this growth and I have decided to embrace it and fully OWN IT! 

I would like to thank everyone that has supported me since the beginning and those of you that met us half way... and now those of you that will be joining us as we go forward. The little girl that decided to share her love for nail polish, fashion and whatever else she could share has now evolved into a still growing young lady - who is somebody's wife and mother! Wheewww Lord, it has been a journey!

This re-brand will give me the opportunity to share more of my authentic self with you all because I will no longer fill like I am in the DIY only bubble.

I will continue to post videos on my youtube channel - CLICK HERE to subscribe if you're not already (It's FREE). 

I will also continue to be active on my instagram page (especially my stories - Seriously, that's where I share the most baby-related content.. LOL).





Check out the video I made about my re-branding below.

Hello loves!

Happy new year. 

How are you all doing? 

So, this year is sure to be a great one and I can just feel it. Yes this sounds like a cliche, but my goodness I am just so excited about this year! 2019 is our year... Please believe it. 

As you guys can probably tell, my brand is changing (Peep the new URL name). I am going to be fully owning my Name - Lizzy O on all of my social media platforms. I will be transitioning from TheDIYLady to LizzyO... but I will be doing a more detailed post about that later.

For now, I just want to wish you a Happy New Year! 

Catch up with me on my youtube channel. I just posted my first video of the year and shared what we were up to in the last days of the year 2018. 

Many late night internet searches later, I found out about the HALO® Bassinest®. Everything I read about it proved to me that it would be the best choice for me. I was also glad that this meant I wouldn't have to do multiple transfers unto the wheelchair at night time just to get to my baby! It was a win for me. 

The HALO® Bassinest® Premier Series Swivel Sleeper has everything I love as a mom and my baby has spent every night since her birth in it. I love the breathable mesh design which is also a great gateway for baby to see that you are nearby whenever they wake up. 

This also has Nightlight, Vibration/Soothing sounds/Lullabies and a Nursing timer. I will be honest and tell you that these features no longer get used as often but they sure were fun to explore in the first few weeks of being a new mom.  I also love the side pockets because it allows for easy access to things I use very frequently with my baby, like her diapers, wipes and butt cream. 

Needless to say, I am very happy with the HALO® Bassinest® Premier Series Swivel Sleeper and Sleepsack swaddle. 

That is why I will be giving these two to one lucky winner in partnership with HALOSleep.

 You also don't have to wait till your baby turns one to order the book - which is why I was able to order my book and get the first few chapters I have been able to fill in. As you complete 3 or more chapters, you can request for those pages to be sent to you and you add the pages to your book. 

 There are extra pages for photos. You can also see what the pages in the book will look like before sending your pages in to order - I love this feature very much. 

I should stop rambling and just say get the app if you really care about documenting your baby's first year and even some moments before baby's arrival - like the baby shower, maternity photos, first ultrasound etc. I can't wait to see what my book looks like at the end of it all. So far, I am impressed with the chapters I have completed and love the beauty the book is turning into. 

I was able to maximize photo space by creating collages and then uploading them on the app as one photo. The print quality on all the pictures are GREAT! The app tells you how your photos fit in the book.

Everything is seriously QUALITY. 

Let me know what your thoughts are! How did you document your baby's firsts? 

Thanks for visiting, 

Till Later, God Bless.
