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
I always knew I wanted to be a mom, never even questioned it. And while I always had career aspirations, in the back of my mind I pictured life at home with kids. The past nearly four years (wow! Four years already?) I have been fortunate enough to stay home with Jack & Eleanor. There … Continue reading Life With Two: An Update on SAHM Life
Since having Eleanor the question I get asked most often is “how is life with two?”. I’ve struggled to find a straightforward answer but after seven months I think I’ve finally figured out how to answer. First, I’ll say that it’s both easier and harder than I expected. Easier because I have more experience and … Continue reading Life With Two

Once I had Jack and started staying home I realized that I was wearing down my slippers pretty quickly. I also just didn't feel … Continue reading The House Shoe I Wear Everyday
Jack turns two tomorrow. TWO. How have I been a mom for two years now? I truly don't understand how it is even possible.

Before kids you … Continue reading Two Years of Motherhood
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’ve always been a fan of pajama sets. It may seem silly but I like to feel comfortable AND put together even in my sleep. A couple years ago I stumbled across LAKE pajamas and couldn’t resist. Pajamas in cute striped sets? Who could say no? Certainly not this lover of stripes! I ordered my … Continue reading The Pajamas You Will Want to Live In
I first shared my about my miscarriage back in March ( you can read about it here). At that point I thought it was physically “over” even though I was still emotionally working through it. But within a few days of publicly sharing about my miscarriage things got worse. As a quick summary, I found … Continue reading Pregnancy Loss Pt 2: The Never Ending Miscarriage
Before kids were anywhere near my future I used to dream of the day that I could spend an afternoon in the kitchen baking and cooking with them. When I had Jack people would often talk about the bond that he and Andrew will share. Telling me that I would have more fun with a … Continue reading In The Kitchen With My Mini
