I never thought I’d be as comfortable talking about poop as I am now. When it comes up in conversation (which is basically all the time) with my friends who don’t have kids I’m pretty sure they all think I’m super gross, but who cares right?! It’s my life now!! As a mother of a […]

One evening I was playing (or distracting) my daughter before bedtime- it’s such a fun game we play. I was lying down and bouncing her on my belly and I was staring up at her and all of the sudden she just looked so big. Not physically but symbolically. Becoming a mother is full of […]
It seems appropriate to share a post about confidence on the heels of International Women’s Day! This post was intended to hit the blog last Thursday/Friday but we’ve been fighting the stomach bug here so things were slightly delayed. Elle and I made it out without getting the bug (knock on wood) but my poor […]
Today’s post brought to you by a Doritos hangover due to a three hour episode of The Bachelor….and STILL not knowing who Arie ended up with!!!!!! If only my Doritos breath was firey like Peter Dinklage’s in the Super Bowl commercial… Mostly I’m writing this post because I’ve started to allow myself to be […]
This week we started Baby Led Weaning. And this week I learned what Baby Led Weaning (BLW) is! I thought it was all about weaning babies off of milk/formula but it’s about weaning them onto solid foods (not necessarily purees). I’ve been feeding Elle solids (or trying to anyway) since we was 5 months and […]
The following is a total stream of consciousness post, that was edited after the fact to correct spelling and fix some of my heinous grammar. Recently my husband and I have decided that I need to get out of the house more. You know, I keep having recurring dreams that I leave Eleanor unattended for […]
Babywearing. One of the greatest ideas/concepts that has ever been invented. Whether you’re a SAHM, on maternity leave, mom of multiples or just a mom on the go, babywearing can be your greatest ally. Cool thing I learned while writing this post: babywearing is in the dictionary and is defined as “the action or practice […]
With the failed meatloaf attempt in my past I thought, okay, February 15th, I see you, I got this. Alas, Elle had other plans for us that day. As mentioned before, after her shots the day before she cried from the hours of 2p-6p and needed to be held the whole time (which I will […]
As I write this, Elle is working on her 2nd nap of the day. She’s fighting it to no end but I’m staying strong. Until recently, I had been stubborn about naptime routines because I’m not a routine person. I wanted Elle and I to be able to go anywhere and everywhere together no matter […]
Elle joined our world on 8/8/17 at 4:35a after many hours of laboring. Every woman’s story is beautiful and different but we all go through our own version of the same thing so I’ll skip the labor details unless anyone cares to hear. 🙂 She has changed my life already in so many ways […]
