Hello friends and happy Friday!

When the start of social distancing rolled around in March I decided I needed to make the most of my time at home. I had really been slacking on reading since Jack was born so I told myself I would spend at least 20 minutes a day reading whether it was during nap or after … Continue reading Recent Reads Review
One of my biggest challenges since becoming a mother has been balancing everything, especially time for myself. Even a year and a half later I still struggle to find balance sometimes.

But then the other day I saw the quote "write what you need to read" and I remembered that the purpose of this blog is to share real life, not just a highlight real. I found out I was pregnant again in early … Continue reading Pregnancy Loss: There is No Right Way to Grieve
Happy Saturday and Leap Day! I normally share these posts on a Friday but this week kept me busy and since today is an "extra day" I figured why not just publish it today instead. I haven't been great about consistently publishing blog posts but instead of tying myself to a schedule I would rather … Continue reading Living Lately No. 51
Last week my baby turned one. ONE YEAR OLD.... How did this happen? This has truly been the fastest year of my life.
