I’ve never been to California. Never. Once I had a layover in Long Beach, but that’s it. About a month ago, we were looking at flights on Kayak(a somewhat depressing hobby of ours) and saw that roundtrip tickets to San Francisco were only $100. Since I’d never been, and it’s one of Seth’s favorite cities, […]
5 Months: Project You and Me
I’m honestly surprised every single month when the 21st rolls around. I can’t believe my little baby is already 5 months old! He is such a perfect baby. This last month has been my absolute favorite month so far. He just gets more and more fun as he gets older. I feel like we’ve finally […]
Let’s Talk Motherhood: Staying Present
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 […]
Southern Utah Weekend Getaway
About a month ago, Bastian hit a sleep regression. He was a relatively good sleeper until that point. Then, suddenly, he was up every single hour wanting to nurse. A sleep regression is officially the most exhausting part of parenthood. We went through sooo much coffee, guys. The lack of sleep was really starting to […]
Why I Love Being A Blogger and Influencer
I’ve always loved living in Utah, but there are a few things about the culture here that have always annoyed me. Especially since I started blogging. One of these things, is the blogger culture. There’s a huge market for it in Utah. Which is both a good thing and a bad thing. The great […]
Fall Fashion Favorites
Fall is my favorite season. It may be basic, but I love pumpkin spiced lattes, the changing colors, and especially the fall fashion. If it weren’t so hot, I’d wear boots all year round. As soon as September hits, I start layering my clothes and wearing long sleeves, in denial that it’s still 97 degrees […]
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 […]
Postpartum Update: 4 Months
I was nervous to write this month’s post. The postpartum recovery is rough. I’ve received comments about my progress and that I seem to be losing the weight pretty quickly. I’m grateful that everything I’ve been doing has been working pretty well. That being said, this month has been hard for me.
