finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Huggies, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #HuggiesatKroger http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV Reid is a magnet for conversation while we’re out and about. With his role poly arms and chubby cheeks, I mean, how could you not say something to this handsome little […]
I have such a love hate relationship with food. I love to eat, I love to try new things, but, the actual joy of cooking and being in the kitchen? I haven’t found it. Maybe it’s because my littles are constantly asking for food and thus, I feel like I live in the kitchen. Seriously, every hour […]
Sometimes things in life collide in a reckless and beautiful way. Our eyes are opened and our hearts are called to action. There is no other answer, because it’s just all too right. I just finished reading The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, a World War II novel about two French sisters. They worked as part […]
“I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Weleda. I received product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for my participation” You all know I’m a pretty low maintenance mama when it comes to illness. I don’t rush to the doctor often and I tend […]
If you recall, I was due with Reid on December 28th. My sister, Hannah, and her husband flew in on December 21st; the plan was for them to be with us for Christmas and hopefully Reid’s birth. Their flight left at 9am on New Year’s Day and when they left home for the airport I […]
“This post was sponsored by Nature Made® as a part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central.” Winter isn’t easy. And that’s coming from a person who loves the sound of rain and the warmth of wool socks all day every day. During the Winter, my littles get cabin fever like no one’s business and my […]
“This post was sponsored by @GBChildUsa as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. I received the GB Lyfe Pram Travel System to facilitate my review.” “It’s a mama and the boys date!” That’s what Max says every day when we drop Jemma at Pre-K. He also cries that we’ve left behind “my girl […]
With Spring around the corner I’m all “goodbye oatmeal, hello fresh flowers and brunch perfect recipes”! And that, my loves, is why my sister and I plated up blueberry blintzes for breakfast yesterday. Hannah is visiting from Texas this week and crepes/blintzes are her specialty. They’re a little time consuming, but totally worth it. Blintzes taste just […]
It’s that time of year — the kick off of MommyCon season! Bianca, of The Pierogie Mama, and I attended the Seattle event last Fall and we’re gearing up to go again on Saturday, April 2nd! Why, you ask, are we headed back so soon? Well, the sessions of course! They’re fresh and new and so […]
Yoga pants. They are my life blood. My every day. My momiform. Some days I actually do yoga in them. I was attending a class quite consistently during my third trimester actually. Yoga was the perfect, easy exercise when I generally felt big and heavy; also there is great childcare at the gym, so … win […]
If you were expecting a list on how I’ve reached this milestone — 50 months of breastfeeding, whoop, whoop, high five to me and my babies! — you’ll find this post lacking. Every situation is so unique, every mother/baby duo so special that what I’ve experienced is most likely very different from what you’ve experienced. Over […]
