Surviving Mother’s Day

Alright, dads/gentleman this is geared towards you *hint, hint* and of course us mother's, because who doesn't like to splurge once in a while? This year is going to be my first official Mother's Day. It is so weird to even type that out. Last year, I was uber pregnant and imagining how future Mother's … Continue reading Surviving Mother’s Day

My Labor/Delivery Story

April 13, 2018July 12, 2018Leave a comment

Are you sitting down, good. I have always kind of hated my birth story. I felt like my body betrayed me. I kept thinking "why"... Throughout my pregnancy I had only one birth plan in mind, I wanted a natural birth, no drugs, especially no epidural! At each check up appointment with my OBGYN, everything was … Continue reading My Labor/Delivery Story

Baby products I wish I knew about sooner

January 31, 2018March 21, 2018Leave a comment

Mama's (+ Dada's) this ones for you. Creating a baby registry was probably one of the most difficult things for me. There are soooooo many baby products on the market and it's really hard to focus on what's actually needed/helpful and what's just "cool". Especially trying to do all this while prego, forget about it! … Continue reading Baby products I wish I knew about sooner

Happy New Year

Happy New Years lovelies! To sum up 2017 in a few short words is easy. But explaining how insanely difficult yet beautiful it has been, is much more hard. So I will say this... Being pregnant and becoming a mom, I am forever changed and better for it. And I am so, so dang grateful … Continue reading Happy New Year

Dear Nursing Pillow

November 22, 2017March 19, 20181 Comment

Motherhood, awe! The blood, tears and joy of my journey would not be the same without my nursing pillow. When Parker finally latched after what seemed like days of struggling, I couldn't stop my emotions. I can't believe he's doing it! I can't believe I'm doing it! It felt like the biggest miracle ever. This … Continue reading Dear Nursing Pillow

Why I dont post full frontal pictures of my child

November 15, 2017March 15, 2018Leave a comment

I love social media, it's a great tool for communication, I can definitely admit that. I love being able to stay in touch with friends and family and I also like when people "like" and comment on my posts. That being said, I didn't post a lot about being pregnant on Instagram or anywhere else. … Continue reading Why I dont post full frontal pictures of my child

Postpartum Body

November 8, 2017June 12, 2018Leave a comment

Many moms-to-be don't stick to their regular workout routines during pregnancy. If you're one of those, like myself, don't be so hard on yourself. Your body was created for an amazing journey, be proud of all you are and all of the stories your marks and scars may tell. I started to ween myself away from … Continue reading Postpartum Body

My heart. My growing tummy. All my love. Just weeks now before we welcome the new babe! . Anyone else having a baby in February? . . . . . #toddlerofinstagram #igmotherhood #momlife #toddlerlife #lifewithatoddler #pregnancy #cactusnursery #reallife
Today is my birthday and let me just be honest here, it has been quite a day. . Started off last night with Parker deciding that he wanted to party till 11pm with me for some pre-birthday celebration 🤦‍♀️. Then followed by only 5ish hours of sleep for the both of us before work. Work was also nothing short of interesting itself. Then what seemed like some yogurt had gone down the wrong pipe cough from P in the AM too later turning into a full blown cold. Ahh, my baby has his 1st cold. My husband has been sick since Sunday too. I've also hit the part of pregnancy where everything hurts and I wish I could lay in bed and eat fries while getting my swollen feet rubbed. . It comes at no surprise to me that today was nowhere near perfect. It is just the norm...MY.BIRTHDAYS.SUCK. Usually it is me that gets sick cause lets face it, January kinda blows! But my word, this birthday has been one heck of a wacky one. . But enough complaining, because I am so blessed! To be able to carry another baby when I was told I probably could never have any kids is nothing short of a miracle. So, heres to 2️⃣7️⃣ and 2️⃣0️⃣1️⃣9️⃣. Let's do this 👊. +New Years Blog is up.

True life im addicted to @chickfila fries. . Judge me not, but I have probably gotten fries everyday since maybe 25 weeks. Not my most healthiest habit, but I can't help myself mamas! My pregnancy craving is crazy. . My hormonal before fries alter ego is named Rage. I legit "rage" if I don't have them. My poor husband. I'll admit it, I have a seriously problem!! . 32 weeks and only 500,000 days to go... Yes my prego craving with P were also fries, @mcdonalds fries but this baby is more gourmet so @chickfila fries or no go. . FUN FACT: P was born on national french fry day 🍟 . . . . #pregnancycravings #pregoproblems #chickfilafries #frenchfrycraving #thirdtrimester #momquotes #momlife #honestmotherhood #momblog
Sunday Funday ⛄️ . No gonna lie mamas, this being prego af and taking care of my adventure seeking, cuddly and at times crabby toddler has been a little harder then I thought! But today, seeing my little dude craft brought more joy to me then a cold glass of egg nog. . BTW a cool trick I learned from a fellow mom is to just simply use water on construction paper. They think they are painting and it's MESS FREE! . . . #momlife #pregnantlife #lifewithatoddler #sundayfunday #momblog #petitejoys #preciousmoments #honestmotherhood #momswithcameras
