I have been totally M.I.A lately and apologize, but I have had such a creative block and honestly I have just been soaking up all of my babe before he turned the big ONE!

Dear Nursing Pillow

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

Big 'ol tummy full of mommy marks! Today, the coldest day of the year so far here in the midwest, the family and I trucked on over to my OB appointment and got the news baby ✌️will be due on 2/22 or before. Holy cow guys, that's in less then a month! So my not so little secret too keeping everything sane around here is @babylist. I am able to put ANY product from anywhere on my baby registry...easy peasy. It has helped me stay organized with what we need this time around. Not to mention you get this awesome #hellobabybox just for creating a registry! . . . . #pregnant #pregnantbelly #bumppic #momlife #momblog #36weeks #joyfulmamas #lifeasmama
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
