Something that has been on my mind a lot lately, over the last few weeks, is how to differentiate inspiration and imitation. The internet is not a new thing. Chances are, almost every single thing, has been done before. This isn’t meant to sound discouraging. Yesterday, I ranted on my Instagram stories about the general […]
Project You & Me: 9 Months
And just like that, Bastian’s first Christmas has come and gone, and his first birthday is starting to creep up on us. I’ve very prematurely began planning his birthday party and subsequently being sad that my little baby is closer to a toddler than a newborn. How is it that the days are so long, […]
My Favorite Products for Dry Skin
I have two disclaimers. One, this post is in no way sponsored! I feel like I have to clarify anytime I recommend a product that isn’t sponsored. Which is unfortunate, and also, most products I recommend really are non sponsored. Second disclaimer, I was blessed with good skin. I’m not trying to humble brag here, […]
Learning to Embrace the Learning Curve
I have been feeling really discouraged, lately. I think it’s natural, in any profession, to sometimes feel inadequate. And to feel like there are others who are doing considerably better than yourself. This isn’t the first time I’ve felt this way, and it certainly isn’t the last. When I get discouraged, though, it’s easy to […]
How to Deal with the Mom Guilt
I don’t think you can fully understand mom guilt, until/unless you’re actually a mom. How hard can it really be to just take a shower? To just leave your kids with a babysitter? To watch the tv show that you wanted to? The truth is, mom guilt is going to find ways to seep in […]
The Dark Side of Comment Pods
Chances are, if you have an Instagram account, you’ve heard of a comment pod. Or an engagement pod. If you haven’t heard of them, here’s the rundown: essentially, you join a group DM with a handful of other instagrammers(or hundreds) in a similar niche to your own. Every time one of you posts, you post […]
Creating a Peaceful Home and Mind
Sometimes, I think about how on earth I thought I was ‘busy’ before I had Bastian? I truly thought my life was crammed to the brim with daily tasks. And while it was, I definitely had a lot more downtime than I thought I did. One of the things that I’ve had to consciously work […]
How to Prevent a Picky Eater
I’ve talked a lot about our experience with Baby Led Weaning before, here on the blog. We have loved getting to introduce new foods to Bastian. And he has absolutely thrived and loved eating solids over these last four months since we started BLW. The way that we feed him is actually one of the […]
Instagram Roundup
This definitely isn’t the first time I’ve sat down to gather up all of my links from Instagram at the end of the week. But I always get distracted halfway through and then the weekend is over, haha. However, I get asked enough times during the week to link something Bastian or I are wearing […]
How to Workout As A Busy Mom
When Bastian was still a baby(or, more of a baby), it was pretty easy to find time to workout. Not that working out is easy. Or convincing myself spend an hour away from my baby was easy. But it was a lot simpler than it is now, that’s for sure. Bastian has been crawling for […]
