I think one of the biggest mistakes you can make as a parent is thinking that you don’t need help. Whether it’s from friends and family, parenting books, or medical professionals, you will NEED help. You can’t do it all on your own and you need to be open to learning new things no matter … Continue reading My Favorite Parenting Accounts
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
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 I've learned that taking time for ME is important to help me find the energy, patience and motivation to balance everything else. Today … Continue reading Making Time For Yourself as a Mom
The past six months have been anything but easy or ordinary. No, this wasn’t the summer I had in mind for us, or even year for that matter. Between our long miscarriage struggle back in February & March, and the ongoing pandemic, our year hasn’t exactly gone as planned, but that’s ok. Yes, we were … Continue reading A Summer of Quality Time

I wasn't sure wether or not I wanted to write this post. 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. I know it is cliche but it feels like just a few weeks ago they placed my tiny, beautiful boy on my chest to meet for the first time. I remember it … Continue reading A Year of Motherhood
Happy New Year, everyone! We ended our year differently than we usually do, in fact it was different in so many ways. The biggest difference being that we celebrated the evening as parents with our sweet baby boy. Even though we are almost 11 months into parenthood it still feels so surreal. Usually we end … Continue reading Hello 2020
