*Sponsored by Zappos This past weekend, we moved into our new home! It feels like it’s been a long time coming, since we actually closed on the home about a month or so ago, and we’ve been painting, finishing rooms and gutting bathrooms. There will be TONS more on this to come (promise!) but for today I wanted to share with you guys a few…
If I am being totally honest, we probably went to three pumpkin patches! haha! But Hudson was usually in the stroller, and we sometimes feel bad making this guy pose for photos. I remember how annoyed I was growing up when my parents would make me be in pictures, sooo I always have that in mind! But it was obligatory to snap some of him…
I’ve had the same conversation with multiple bloggers in the same week (Dany & Tim) and it made me realize it’s something I’ve been thinking about myself . Being an “influencer” or a “blogger” was once just normal people living their lives and talking about it on the internet. I started this blog when I was broke, paying my rent via Etsy and snapping outfit photos on…
It’s so easy to become wrapped up in the minutiae of daily life, and as silly as this sounds, we have to remind ourselves to HAVE FUN, and celebrate the little things. In lieu of tons and tons of house projects that we accomplished this week, we decided to have a fun little day-date, Hudson in tow, for some good ole’ burger and fries, so White…
We (almost) did it! Mom & dad almost made it to the big one year mark, which imo is a huge accomplishment on our part. haha! It has not been even close to easy, and we still have days where we’re like omg. it’s always something. does it get any easier??? But we’re so proud of our dude for suffering through all of the lousy…
I always share monthly Hudson updates with you guys, and try to fill you in on what’s been going on in the world of motherhood, but sometimes I worry that it gets really glossed over on the internet, as things always do on social media. So I wanted to take a moment here on “Personal Wednesday” to address how dang hard it is to be…
Goodnight baby, sleep tight my love May God watch over you from above Tomorrow I’m workin’ what would I do I’d be lost and lonely if not for you -Tom Petty My dad used to sing that to me every night before bed when I was a little girl. We would look at the gas station out my window in NY, he would turn on…
You guys seemed to love this insight into how being a blogger works, and getting a glimpse into the reality behind the squares, so I am excited that this little series will be sticking around! I will definitely try to post 1 of these a month (probably on the week that I don’t have any groundbreaking personal thoughts haha). It’s been a really really busy…
After graduating high school, I used to visit home from college and curl up in bed with my old journals. I would read about nights I broke curfew and thought it was funny, skating miles and miles just to get ‘hot now’ donuts at Krispy Kreme and old and now meaningless moments with young crushes who exited life as quickly as they entered. It felt…
This month FLEW by, and I cannot believe I am starting to pin ideas for Hudson’s 1st birthday party. How did this happen? How do I have an almost 1-year-old? What is it even like being a mom to a toddler? BABY UPDATE: At the end of nine months, Hudson changed SO much, I can hardly keep up! First, he is finally scooching!! I am…
“I did it for the gram” is a phrase most people on social media (not just influencers!) have probably said in the past year or two. While I was eating at ‘cookie do’ in NYC, alone on a park bench with other random strangers taking pictures of their sickeningly sweet “cookie dough” in a cup, I started to think a lot about my habits, and…
My bedroom is my favorite room in our house. It always has gorgeous even side lighting, and it’s so bright and airy. I remember how dreary it looked the first time I saw it – it had camel colored carpeting and toffee colored walls, with a picture of a horse above the bed. Needless to say, I had a vision and absolutely loved the transformations…
For this weeks personal post, let’s talk a little bit about our upcoming move & how getting a mortgage as not one, but TWO freelancers looks (hint: it isn’t good). As most of you know, I said goodbye to my W-2 income job in May and said hello to the 10-99 freelancing life to stay home with my baby. Let me first say that…
Hi guys! After messaging a few of you in instagram, it seems like you enjoy some personal writing, and funny enough I LOVE TO WRITE. I journaled basically my entire life before the interwebs took over, and I am happy to share my little weird thoughts with you. I decided that every Wednesday, rain or shine, I will create a personal post for you and…
I was chatting with my momma friend Kira the other day about how Hudson seems bored during playtime, and she mentioned adding some new toys to his collection. I realized that I hadn’t really upgraded his toys in a while, and maybe he had outgrown them mentally (and physically too!). It’s hard because I know I want to be a minimalist ( and I am…
From months eight to nine, Hudson’s personality has begun to shine through so much more! He laughs along with conversations now, like he’s a part of them, and is just generally more of a human being! He’s fun to hangout with and see the world with, and his fascination with tiny little things makes me wish I could see the world through his eyes, even…
As you guys know, we’ve been traveling A TON this Summer. My skin type is super dry, so it’s really important for me to stick to a skincare regimen, but I also don’t like to pack 8 billion different lotions and serums while we’re on the road. I was on the lookout for one serum to pack that gets the job done, and I was…
I am sure all of you (whether you have kids, plan to have kids or are currently pregnant) have heard the same thing over and over again – Kids stop you. They stop you from partying, they stop you from going to the movies or on dates and they stop you from being spontaneous and traveling. I’ll admit, some of it is true – it’s been…
Phew, so some of you may have read this post a few months back about our tips for traveling with a baby. We thought we were such pros, and then suddenly Hudson because a human and not a blob, and it was a whole new ball game! Let me preface this post by saying we are still not perfect AT ALL, and there’s definitely trips where…
Being a baby is tough, and being an 8 month old is impossible. These poor guys are teething, learning how their bodies work AND they’re learning to speak our language all at the same time. To top it off, they’re also not sleeping well – Which just hit us here in casa Degreff this week. The 8 month sleep regression. Yikes. When I needed…
