I know that I say this every single month, but where is the time going? I know 4 months isn’t that long, or that old. But it feels like I’m blinking and suddenly my baby isn’t nearly as much of a baby anymore. He’s getting so big and so responsive. The last few weeks have […]

Things I Want to Remember: The Newborn Stage
Bastian started teething this past week, so I think it’s safe to say that he’s officially out of the newborn stage. It’s bittersweet. He’s constantly growing and becoming so fun to interact with. But he’s never going to be my tiny baby ever again. That’s kind of hard to swallow. I’m not letting myself dwell […]
Must Have Products For a New Mom
Becoming a mom can be overwhelming. To say that it’s a transition is an understatement. You go from being just a couple, to having a baby 24/7 that you’re responsible for. No more cuddling with your husband all night long, because you’ll be interrupted every 2-4 hours to feed your little bundle of joy. Forget […]
Two Years and Counting
My hands were sweaty as I clutched my bouquet, grabbed my fiance’s hand, and headed down the aisle. It had rained all day, and I had cried and cried because I didn’t want my outdoor wedding ruined. But by some miracle, the sun was out and it was a perfectly warm May day, and the […]
Newborn Photography with Camera Shy
Bastian is three weeks old now, and it’s crazy to me how much he’s grown! He’s still so tiny and small, but I look back at the newborn photos we had taken when he was a week old, and he seems so much bigger now. I’m so excited to see him grow, but I also […]
Best Nursing Bras for First Time Moms
When I was pregnant, there were a lot of things about postpartum life that I didn’t give a lot of thought to until right before Bastian was born. I was excited to start wearing all of my regular clothes again, and definitely looking forward to doing barre classes again(which I’m still waiting for). But something […]
Mountain Maternity Pictures
Bastian is two weeks old now, and it’s crazy how much he’s grown in just two weeks. I look at him every day and find it incredible that just a few weeks ago, he was still inside me! I had no idea what he looked like, and I spent every day anxiously awaiting his arrival. […]
Creating the Perfect Guest Bedroom
After Seth and I finished decorating the nursery, I was still nesting. We debated for a while to do with our spare room; we don’t really have a lot of visitors, so a guest room seemed a little unnecessary since I wasn’t sure if it would ever get used. The spare room has the most […]
Nursery Update: 5 Star Ceilings
Seth and I absolutely love hiking, camping, and being outdoors. Right before we found out that we were pregnant with Bastian, we were thinking about moving to Chicago, since Seth had a job offer there. Ultimately, we decided to stay in Utah and buy a house here, and one of those reasons was because of […]
Bastian’s Birth Story
On April 1, Seth and I spent a few hours walking around downtown Salt Lake. Even though my due date was about two weeks away, we were hoping to meet our baby a little early (doesn’t every mom feel like this in the last few weeks of pregnancy?). A few days earlier I’d had contractions […]
