"Why are you so dressed up?" was something I often heard over the past year, even if I was just in cute pants and a nice top which, to me, isn't really all that dressy. "But you stay home right?" was another question they would ask as if staying home, whether as a mom or … Continue reading Dress the Way You Want to Feel: A Year Of “Dressing Up”
I'm not sure how it has already been two years since our move from Nebraska to Minnesota. I has all truly gone by so quickly but here we are, approaching two years in our home. I promise this won't be a yearly post because at some point you just can't count out like that, its … Continue reading What I’ve Learned After Two Years in Minnesota
I have occasionally talked about mental health and anxiety here on the blog. I don't often share that I have anxiety and depression, not out of fear or embarrassment, but because I often struggle to put it all into words. But lately it has been weighing heavily on me and I have felt compelled to … Continue reading Five Things I Do on Anxious Days
Happy New Year everyone! I’ve spent the past few days getting back into a routine (or attempting to) after Jack’s winter break, Christmas and New Year’s festivities, and hosting our families. I’m met with mixed emotions this time of year as I love the feeling of a “fresh start” and resolutions, but it also feels … Continue reading Hello 2024
I entered a new decade yesterday and I’ve been more emotional about it than expected. Don’t get me wrong, it has nothing to do with getting older or now being in my 30’s.

Happy January, everyone! I hope your holidays were full of joy! The start of a new year can often feel full of hope, the promise of a clean slate. But it can also add feelings of pressure and disappointment. The idea that who you are now isn’t good enough, that “new year, new you” mentality. … Continue reading Hello 2023
It’s been three months since we moved from Omaha to Rochester so I thought I would share a little reflection on the past couple months. We have been lucky to see quite a bit of our family since moving here which has made the transition much easier. We also got away to Lake Geneva for … Continue reading Three Months in Rochester
I had plans to start back up with some regular content this past week. I’ve really taken a step back from the blog over the past two years. In part because motherhood keeps me busy and also because with all that’s going on in the world it often seems inappropriate to be sharing style and … Continue reading The Weight of the World
Last week I shared a post on “life with two kids”. It is something I get asked about often after having Eleanor- the transition from one to two. I discussed part of my struggle to answer that question in this post, but really it’s so much more than that. Our journey to having two healthy … Continue reading Pregnancy Loss Part 4: Guilt After Loss
October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, with the 15th dedicated as a special day of remembrance. While it has been a year and a half since I miscarried, it is still something that I carry with me. Like any loss, the grief never really goes away. There are days that it creeps back … Continue reading Pregnancy Loss Part 3: The Grief Doesn’t Go Away
