Guys, I have a bad mom confession: I suck at staying present for my baby. I try really hard, but I’m still trying to figure out how to balance my full time job, full time blog, and being a stay at home mom five days a week. Because this is an area I’m needing a […]

Breastfeeding in Public

I’m really grateful that I’ve been able to breastfeed Bastian. There have definitely been a few times that I’ve been ready to give up and call it quits, but we’ve managed to stick with it. I love the bond that he and I are able to share, and some of my favorite moments throughout the […]
How We Beat The 4 Month Sleep Regression

I used to think the 4 month sleep regression was a myth. An excuse for moms whose babies didn’t like to take naps. Boy, was I wrong. I know that sleep regressions can happen at any point of a baby’s life, but I have a lot of friends who had sleep regressions hit at around […]
The Realities of Postpartum Anxiety

A few months back, a good friend of mine wrote a blog post about her experience with postpartum anxiety. It was around this same time that I read another article about postpartum anxiety. This wasn’t a new concept for me. I’d read about and heard about both postpartum anxiety and depression a long time before […]
Instagram isn’t Reality

I try to seem pretty transparent on my Instagram and my blog. No one likes seeing a fake, happy life portrayed on Instagram when that isn’t really the case. If my baby pooped on me three times in a day, I’ll mention it instead of saying that my day was great. I also try to […]

Self Care: Let’s Talk Motherhood

Before I became a mom, I always heard about moms who never had a chance to shower because they were busy with their babies. I heard about moms who were constantly frazzled, never taking a moment for themselves. Before you become a mom, it’s hard to fully understand this. You don’t understand the despair when […]
Does Your Child or Husband Come First?

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve scrolled through my Facebook, and seen someone ask this question. “Does your child or husband come first?” The answers are always really mixed. And for good reason. Because you can’t really say who’s more important to you. Do you say your husband, the person you specifically chose […]

Postpartum Update + Pure Barre

I’ve had a lot of people ask me when this post would be live, and I’m so sorry that it’s been so delayed! The last time I posted a Postpartum update was at 6 weeks postpartum. I’m now a little past 3 months postpartum. Last months update is missing due to a very unexpected emergency […]

Tips for Traveling with a Teething Baby

Seth and I love traveling, that’s no secret. We had to take a very necessary break when I got pregnant, due to my hyperemisis. Towards the end of my pregnancy, we started planning the trips we wanted to take this year. Traveling with a baby can be hard, but I’m a firm believer that your […]
