I am so thankful that I was able to have this experience of breastfeeding Ford. I am so thankful that I was able to nourish him and help him grow to be strong and healthy. But I am also thankful for choices. Choices to offer formula or to allow other people to care for my son. People that will shape him and mold him. I know that while this experience can be hard for some, that it’s not the only way and that either way you feed your baby is best. Sharing why I stopped breastfeeding…
Read MoreIf I went back in time or had to do this all over again, I would learn to take care of myself more during the postpartum period. I would have taken more time off from my business. I would have asked for more help. I would have made the time for myself. So, I thought I would share a few things that I think could be helpful if you are a new mom or preparing to embark on the motherhood journey.
Read MoreI have received SO many questions regarding our big move from why we decided to move to the neighborhood we are in now and what are plans are for the new house. I thought I would share some answers here for all that are curious.
Read MoreI can’t believe Father’s Day is almost here! That means that June is almost halfway over, which doesn’t seem possible. This is an extra special year, as we are celebrating my husband’s first Father’s Day which feels really special. Thanks to all of you for your creative suggestions on gifts for the dad’s in your life!
Read MoreI get a lot of random questions related to my career from how I started my business to what exactly I do for a living and when I find to blog, etc. I thought it would be fun and easy to do a quick Q&A from my most asked DM’s to answer it all!
Read MoreIt’s been a big month…Ford is on the move and growing SO much. Sharing a quick update on all the things in celebration of 10-months with Ford.
Read MoreWe finally found a fun and educational weekly activity to do as a family: swim lessons! Sharing my thoughts on the experience, how to prepare for your first lesson and a few water safety tips I have learned from Goldfish Swim in Overland Park!
Read MoreWhen it comes to my wardrobe, I prefer to only buy pieces that I will wear over and over again. That means, looking for quality items that are made well and can easily be mixed-and-matched to create easy looks for all the roles I play...running a business to blogging events and of course, being a mom. Sharing a few of my spring wardrobe essentials for everyday life!

Read MoreI recently asked all my mamas on social media to share what they REALLY want for Mother’s Day. Flowers are nice, brunch is always a good idea and I will never say ‘no’ to jewelry…but sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest impact! I decided to compile a few Mother’s Day Gift ideas that are easy and that any mom would truly love!
Read MoreNow that Ford is 8-months-old (how is that possible?) I thought it would be fun to share the baby products we still are using to this day. When we created our registry, I was completely overwhelmed with how many baby gadgets there are. I think I spent HOURS researching everything, comparing prices and looking for cute options. It’s crazy to think that only a few of the things we purchased or received lasted more than a few weeks or months. If I were to have another baby (not anytime soon), I would definitely pare down my list to the essentials. These are the few items we are still using to this day and would buy again and again…
Read MoreSharing my dirty secret…I hate doing laundry and decided I am not going to do it anymore! I recently enlisted WishWash Laundry to help our family and it has been the best decision. It’s actually more affordable to outsource our laundry services and to spend those hours working than attempting to do it myself.
