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 […]
Recovery and my Eating Disorder Demons
I’ve been asked a lot to write this post. No one really talks about their eating disorders very openly. Back when I had a blog in high school, I wrote a post about my struggles with an eating disorder. I was shocked at the amount of people who messaged me afterwards telling me that they […]
Why and How I’m Raising My Son Bilingual
Three summers ago, I went to spend some time living in Paris. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I was an Au Pair to three adorable French children. I got to learn a lot about the way Europeans raise their children. Not surprisingly, it’s very different than how children are […]
You and Me: 4 Months
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 […]
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 […]
What to do in Nashville if you don’t like Country Music
When Seth told me that he wanted to go to Nashville for his birthday, my very first question, after “Why?” was “What are we going to do there?” Neither of us are big fans of country music. I’ve enjoyed maybe 5 country songs in my life. So why would we go to Nashville? Before we […]

Best Brunch in Nashville
It’s no secret that I love brunch. Anytime friends want to hang out with us, we instantly recommend meeting for brunch. It’s my inner Leslie Knope coming out to proclaim my love for waffles and whipped cream. So obviously, when we were planning our trip to Nashville, I instantly started looking up the best brunch […]
