Day in the Life
I personally love watching other peoples “Day in the Life” series on Instagram, YouTube, or blogs, but I never feel like my life is exciting enough to do one of my own- especially during the thrilling times of quarantine haha. But, after having a few requests to do one, I finally did! I shared this originally on Instagram, so excuse the picture quality, but I wanted to upload it here as well so that I could have a place to add more details, links, etc. (This version will be more of a mix of text and pictures so this page doesn’t take a million years to load!) 6:30: Wake up.…

My Morning Routine
As a stay at home/ work at home mom, having routines and rhythms set up is SO important to having a productive… and positive day. Being able to maximize my time and get stuff done is always nice, but the effect it has on me and my family is even better! I notice a huge difference in my mood and stress level when routines are in place as does my family. Children in particular, thrive on routines. So even though I myself am not a necessarily a person of habit, it is something I try and work really hard on! I am going to be sharing my morning routine on…

Flattering & inexpensive one pieces for moms- 2019
As I was packing for our upcoming getaway to a local hot springs, I realized that I hadn’t worn a swimsuit since before I was pregnant with Henry.

I carefully read TONS of reviews for one pieces on Amazon. I ended up ordering eight different suits to try on and I was pleasantly…

Real Talk: Postpartum Hair Loss
Postpartum hair loss is one of many topics that isn’t openly discussed about life after you have a baby. I hope that by sharing my real experience with telogen effluvium, or extreme postpartum hair loss, that it might help someone in a similar situation and provide a source of hope for you. This post will also share what I found that helped my hair grow back as well as tips for getting by in the meantime. Thank you to Amandean for sponsoring this post; all opinions expressed are my own. My experience with postpartum hair loss: When I was three months postpartum my hair started falling out in clumps. I…

Real Talk: Postpartum Pelvic Floor Health
It is almost my baby’s first birthday, so for the next three weeks I’m going to bring back the #realtalk series and share 3 things I wish I’d known about life postpartum. These posts aren’t meant to be negative, because ultimately I am so blessed to be a mother! But they are topics that are often not talked about and are kept hush hush, despite the fact that there are many women dealing with the same issues. Today I’m going to be talking about pelvic floor physical therapy. If that is something that makes you uncomfortable–feel free to skip this post 🙂 This is a personal and uncomfortable topic for…
