Now that we are all aware of what my mental state was like in 2017, I thought it would be a great time to share my hopes for 2018 with one simple word. If you missed that memo, you can clue in to my 2017 here. Every year, I like to reflect on the previous year and use one word to focus on in the new year. I've done generic words like growth or courage. Actually, I shouldn't say generic, because at the time they meant something really big for that year, but 2017 broke me down and so I feel ...
Why I’ll Never Travel for Christmas Again
If you've been following me on Instagram, you may already know that this year we decided to be a little selfish with our Christmas and stay home. There's a lot more detail, but that's the gist of it. Christmas is my favorite Holiday, always has been. Growing up my Dad always cooked amazing things to take to Christmas dinner at my Grandmother's house and some of my best childhood memories were from Christmas morning with just my Mom, Dad, and Brother. My Dad always went crazy with the ...
2017 – The Struggle
I know I've been rather absent from this little space this year, and while I've touched on the subject, I hadn't really gone into detail on why. When I started blogging, I knew I wanted to be transparent. I wanted to show the struggles, the triumphs, and everything in between that comes with being a mother. The stuff that I probably shouldn't share. I've been trying to write this post for months. My creative drive took a hard hit this year and anytime I sat down to write, I couldn't get ...
Shop Spotlight: Addison Belle
I haven't done one of these in a while, so I thought no better way to bring you a shop spotlight than with one of my most favorite small shops. I have had the privilege of working with Addison Belle a couple of times and their products rank high among my most favorite baby products. If you've been following along with me for a while you know that Addison Belle made it on my list of 6 Favorite Baby Products I wrote last year with their Everything Blanket. Their Everything Blanket is still a ...
What I’m Wearing Lately: Pink Blush
I love bringing y'all fashion posts, and today I'm bringing you one from one of my favorite shops that I've collaborated with multiple times, Pink Blush. No, I am not pregnant, this is not a maternity style post. Not only does Pink Blush have great Maternity wear, but they also have a non-maternity line too. I would have to say my top favorite thing about all my Pink Blush stuff is that it is all so versatile. I can dress it up or dress it down not limiting it to one occasion. They are ...
For Better, For Worse, Married AF.
Lately, I've been seeing numerous blog posts about all the hard times women go through to bear and birth children, and they almost suggest that our men should be putting us on a pedestal. These posts go on to summarize the physical, mental, and emotional toll these child bearing years take on us as women, as wives. Don't get me wrong, I think women are real life superheroes, but I feel like these posts are a little insulting to the men who stand by their women holding their hands as they ...
