once i was 6 months old. halfway around the sun ☀️ my little love. loving on you everyday. my lil foodie smiley cutie! . . . . #babygirl #6monthsold #baby #mom #motherhood #momlife #babylife #lifeasmama #petitejoys #letthembelittle #preciousmoments #babymilestone

when you probably should have used a @bapronbaby but baby was way to hungry to wait. - london is such a little foodie. i was sooo worried when introducing solids to her because parker was, well...a monster when he started (still is). but she loves everything. her least favroite is carrots on their own but i feel ya girl. she still eats them but just doesn't finish her full portion. - +starting solids round ✌️new blogs up! . . . . #baby #babygirl #startingsolids #homemadebabyfood #bumboseat #littlefoodie #momblog #bloggingmom #babiesfirstfoods #petitejoys #motherhood #honestmotherhood #blog #lifeasmama #twoundertwo

this picture is still my favorite parenthood capture yet. it speaks soooooo much truth. blow outs happen. parenthood is not pretty. i know this is kinda ewwy but also impressive cause my milk, from me, i made with these boobies...did that! she made a poopy. a big one, but yes girl yes 👏👏 keep on eating and pooping on my little princess. babies don't keep, so these intense diaper changes will be a distant memory sooner then later. - anyone else shaking their head yes like "yep, accurate af" lemme here ya holla 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️. . . . . #momlife #dadlife #blowout #newborn #infant #parentproblems #omgmoments #twoundertwo #babygirl #yikes #breastfeedpoopaintnojoke #breastfeedingbaby #motherhood #fatherhood #mamahood #momtags

parker got so many cool gifts for his birthday! both set of grandparents were so generous. recently parker has been so interested in these trains from @melissaanddougtoys and this unique portable train and car table from @thesimplay3company. - the trains are magnetic and it leads to some major frustration but these moments are key to learning problem solving techniques. after a day of struggling to understand how they connect, he is a champ and learned to turn the train car around to connect the magnets! . . . . #toddler #toddlerlife #toddlertoys #stemlearning #momlife #proudmoment #petitejoys #letthembelittle #twoundertwo #motherhoodunplugged #honestmotherhood

this weekend was a busy one and I am so thankful. - friday we went to a splash park with my mom and brother. enjoyed outside time in the sprinkler too back at my parents house (nana and pops). we even slept over and i swear, my kids sleep so much better there. parker slept in and london woke up once only to eat, no fuss! - saturday my husband and i went on our first date in about 2 years..ya i know wtf right? a huge shout out to my mom and brother for watching p and l. later that evening we went to my in-laws (gammie and grandpas) for pizza night minus the cheese and gluten for me. - on sunday we finished up our amazing weekend with a family hike to a local forest preserve. did some major outside work and enjoyed the cloudy yet warm weather. - i love our busy weekends because they seem so much longer cause we fit so much in the short 2 days we get together. i work every other weekend so the weekends i dont work, it's a treat and we try to make the best of the time we have together and soak up the sun before it's gone and that yucky winter chill arrives. . . . . #momlife #twoundertwo #weekendadventures #family #hiking #baby #toddler #lifeasmama

i've made these lactation cookies about 5 times and each time i go to brag about them, they are gone. like not even a crumb left. legit the best cookies ever. my husband likes them, my son is obsessed. he wont leave the kitchen if im baking them unless he can have at least one. i mean he says please and thank you so i have to share..right!? they are that good and gluten free, yay! - THE BEST DARN LACTATION COOKIE + 2/3 cup butter + 3/4 cup brown sugar + 1/4 cup white sugar + 1 egg + dash of vanilla + 2 3/4 cup almond flour + 1/2 tsp baking soda + 1 scoop @getmilkdrunk + 1/3 cup chocolate chips preheat oven 350 degrees f. soften butter. add sugars, egg and vanilla, mix. add dry ingredients-make sure you sift your baking soda. stir in chocolate chips. scoop batter onto parchment lined baking sheet. bake 10-12 minutes or untill golden brown. enjoy! store in a a container. - ive made these with both @getmilkdrunk vanilla and salted caramel. both powders are so good. the vanilla makes it more cake batter tasting and the salted caramel gives it a more traditional chocolate chip cookie taste and complements the almond flour really well. eager to try the chocolate flavor in the batter. next time! . . . . 💰 wanna save? use promo PETITE10 @getmilkdrunk #breastfeeding #breastfeedingmama #ebf #glutenfree #fenugreekfree #rawrnatural #milkdrunk #milkdrunkmama #normalizebreastfeeding #nursingmom #breastfeedbaby #postpartum #youarewhatyoueat #favoriteproducts #motherhood #boobfood #lactationcookies
