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!

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 […]
Welcome to my messy kitchen. I would love to have a pristine kitchen to photograph for this post, like I see on so many blogs but alas I am my father’s daughter and a very messy cook! At least a got to use a nice camera and have an excellent sous chef 😉 This meal […]
Valentine’s Day feels like a good day to talk about Marriage Maintenance. I know the word “Maintenance” makes it sound like a job or a chore but in some ways it is once you have children. As new parents of a 6 month old, we are learning everyday the value of putting a little […]
