At this point Sona was just born after a long 36 hour labor. Normally, a birth story would end here. But I had some challenges during the rest of our time in the hospital that…
I woke up around 5am on Tuesday, June 29th and noticed I was having pretty regular contractions while I had my breakfast. Around 6am, I started timing them and…
It’s strange to think that four months ago I was still pregnant. Both because it feels like these four months have flown by and because it feels like Sona’s been…
Since becoming a mom three years ago, I’ve been searching for the right method for preserving our family photos and memories…
Somehow, I’m in my third trimester already! I thought it would be a good time to look back on the last three months and give an update on baby number two…
It feels so nostalgic to be writing a pregnancy update right now. Life looks quite a bit different than it did 3 years ago, when I was expecting our first…
Fall is here! With the pandemic, it’s been a little trickier to think of fun activities to celebrate the season. We are sticking to outdoor and socially-distanced activities…
I was looking through the notes app on my phone the other day and found a note from May 19th detailing everything we did that day. I’ve been thinking a lot about what…
With so many of us across the world now working from home with kids that are out of school or daycare for an indefinite amount of time, I thought I would share..
I’m starting a new series with the encouragement of my friend Shawn. This year, I decided to make more time for writing…
This time last year, I had settled on “Bloom” as my word of the year. What I think 2019 taught me the most is that nothing blooms all year round. That needing time to recuperate doesn’t negate my accomplishments. That needing time to rest doesn’t mean that I’m not being productive.
For grandparents gifts this year, I wanted to make some type of Christmas ornament with my 18 month old daughter. She’s a little young for most of the cool ornament crafts I’ve seen on Pinterest (which are geared for older toddlers and kids) but she loves to paint…
There are so many baby registry checklists out there but if you’re attempting to be on the more affordable, minimal and stylish side with your baby gear, this post is for you. I’m not sharing a comprehensive list of everything you need for the first year of your baby’s life - just a list of my favorite and most-used items (all gender-neutral!) as a mom who’s been there…
It’s been quite the year. The last blog post I wrote was on my own birthday back in March. I’ve had so many ideas and things I’ve wanted to write about since then and now that my book is off to the publisher for editing (more about that soon!) it seems fitting that my first catch up post should be about Sage’s birthday…
If you’ve ever been curious about what life looks like for a work-from-home mom of an 8 month old baby, this post is for you! This is my first time writing a post like this (it was suggested when I surveyed readers via Instagram about topics they’d like to read about in the new year) and I’m already looking forward to reading it in a few years. With small business and motherhood, everything changes so fast…
To share or not share? That’s the question. I’m a blogger with a child, but I think almost every parent can relate in a world that is increasingly operating online. Thinking about how to be intentional with the way I choose to share and what my boundaries are is something I’ve dedicated a lot of time and mental energy towards, starting even before our daughter was born…
This Christmas was special because it was Sage’s first. I’m sharing my first (and only) Christmas blog post today and it’s New Years Eve! While it’s a bit late to share any inspiration for this year, I still wanted to document what this Christmas looked like for our family, from simple decorating to establishing some new traditions…
Five years ago, we decorated this nursery for our first daughter. Now, we are getting ready to turn it into a “big girl room” for our second. Before the crib goes up to the attic for storage and we officially bid farewell to the baby years, I wanted to capture this moment in time.
