Ho-Ho-Holy Shit It’s The Holidays 🎅🏽
Ah yes. The Holiday Season is upon us. The Christmas tree is decorated, the lights are up, and the house smells like a forest of pine trees and sugar cookies. All the holiday feels have been in full force, but has made me realize the season that I once loved for its carefree cheer and…

The Real MVPs
There were a few things I debated writing about. I had everything all typed up and ready to go but honestly after the week we have had with busy and demanding work schedules and Cora being sick— I wanted to change it up a little bit. I feel like this sort of thing isn’t talked…

The Holy Shituation
Let’s talk shit. Literally. Of all the things I knew I would obsess over I never thought one of the top contestants would be poop. I was the avid color, amount, and consistency checker because I was told that since my baby couldn’t tell me when she wasn’t feeling good or when something was wrong…

The Used and the Useless
When we had to make our baby registry we had absolutely NO IDEA where to begin or what we needed/wanted so I’ve decided to make a list of things we used that we liked and things we didn’t like. AS USUAL HERE’S THE DISCLOSURE: What worked for us or what was on our “had to…

The Worrisaurus Wreck: A Memoir of Shit I Used to Stress About
NOT MEETING MILESTONES I don’t know why this was such a big one for me. I wasn’t necessarily worried about a developmental delay or a diagnosis but I wanted to be one top of it and look into any early interventions needed. I can guarantee you I looked up every timeline and every “watch for…

Poppin’ Bottles 🍼
The closer we got to having Cora the weirder my dreams became (one of which I gave birth to Danny Devito). I had one where my whole family was over for Christmas and I had gone to the kitchen to grab something and when I came back my entire family was taking turns breast feeding…

Eat. Breastfeed. Repeat.
It’s as I’m laying here at midnight, with my boob flopped out on the bed, listening to my husband softly snore on one side of me & my baby breathing heavier on the other as he slowly drifts off, that I feel compelled to start this week’s post. Because even though we’re on vacation, I…

To Discipline or Not To Discipline..or rather HOW?!?
Raise your hands if you’ve ever been personally victimized by a strong-willed toddler. If I reach up any further my arm is going to come off my body and launch into outer space. We are in the fun stage of childhood where “no” means “no go ahead and do what we just told you not…

The Good Mom, The Bad Mom, The REAL Mom
Last week we went to Scheels – Zac, Kai & I. I was terrified. This was really the first public store I had to “be a parent” in. I had this instant anxiety sweep over me – I worried I wouldn’t be seen as a “good mom” … because clearly everyone there had nothing better…
