Just like with pregnancy, I am constantly seeing gorgeous images of influencers breastfeeding with the sunset in the background, looking so peaceful and content. For me it was not like that at all, and for that reason I kept pretty quiet about my breastfeeding journey. To be honest, I am not sure how much of it I will share this time around either, because that’s…
It took me long enough, but here it is, a full update on my first trimester!! I really want to make these posts feel as real + unglossy as possible, so I added a few iPhone photos that mean something to me from the journey along the way! I always love looking back on my blog posts from my pregnancy with Hudson because you really…
I am constantly sharing peeks into my decorated home on instagram, but I realized I have yet to share photos on the blog, with links to shop! Finding the perfect Fall decor does take a lot of hunting, which I personally enjoy and look forward to each season. By this point, I have a lot of bins of Fall decor that I store in our…
So here we are again, back to the beginning! It’s a funny feeling, mostly because with Hudson I knew absolutely nothing, and this time around I feel like I’m pretty well-versed on “baby brands,” what I need exactly, etc. I also saved SO much stuff for baby #2, and since most of our things were gender neutral, we can use them whether it’s a boy…
If you follow along on instagram, you already know that we’ve been keeping a big secret over here since June! It really actually flew by, and I am now 17 weeks pregnant – almost halfway! Honestly my plan was always to keep it a secret for as long as possible (I was hoping to make it to 20 weeks!) but with the bump starting to…
I talked a bit last year about how I create cute instagram stories, but I wanted to pop back on here and share an incredible resource that I recently found and have been using to make my stories MUCH cuter for the Fall and Holiday season – PicMonkey! For a while I was using my phone to edit videos and photos, but more recently I’ve…
It has been a long time since I’ve shared my makeup routine, but now that I have a nice cozy little nook in our home after our renovation to calmly apply my makeup (I used to sit on the floor haha) I am here to share some of my staples and favorites that I’ve found after testing a ton of different makeups. I am secretly somewhat…
I am SO SO excited to FINALLY share my Master Bathroom Reveal, after so many months of planning it, and watching it come to life! Below is a before photo of the space, which was our kitchen before we renovated our home! When we renovated, we completed changed the location of both the kitchen and the Master Bathroom, which was originally tiny and included only…
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of UPPAbaby. As always, all opinions are my own. When I first had Hudson, I noticed that everyone around me was using the UPPAbaby VISTA. Maybe that sounds a bit dramatic, but I promise you in my group of mom friends, it was everybody. The thing about strollers is you make your decision on what…
It has been quite a while since I shared anything about traveling with Hudson – I shared our essentials for a flight around 18 months, and roadtrip must-haves, but it’s been over a year so things have definitely changed! We’ve recently started to travel a bit more again, because from 2 and on it felt like traveling with Hudson became way WAY easier. He understands…
I heard on a podcast a few weeks ago (James Nord’s Drink With James) that if you feel burnt out, let down or frustrated with instagram at the moment, take a step back, say no to work, and find a way to use your platform to help others. It was one of those AHA moments for me that shifted my thinking. I think I am…
BEFORE: I am so excited to finally feel comfortable enough with where my bedroom is at to share it! I am such a freak about interiors, and I like to really spend my time ordering piece by piece until I feel like a room is complete… and I still feel like I have a bit more work to do in here! There’s a few corners…
Rug | Curtains I’m so excited to finally share the FIRST REVEAL of many to come – our hallway guest bathroom! It’s actually more like Hudson’s bathroom since we added a third bathroom upstairs into our guest bedroom, but to me it’ll always be known as “the green bathroom.” Here’s what the bathroom looked like when we bought the house two years ago – very…
I know a lot of couples make “date night” a regular thing, but Matt and I are pretty bad about it, to be honest. We’re lucky if we get out just the two of us once per month, but we do work from home together sometimes and get to sneak out for lunch dates. It’s SO hard to find a reliable sitter, and that has…
Today is my 32nd birthday! I usually have a lot of sentimental and deep thoughts to blurt out in my birthday posts each year (see them all here – 30, 29, 28, 25) but this year flew by so quickly that I’ve hardly had a second to really reassess, and think what I’ve accomplished and lived through from last July until this July. So I guess…
HUDSON IS OFFICIALLY SLEEPING IN A BIG BOY BED!! It’s very exciting news for us over here, and I wanted to document our steps and share our journey for other mamas about to take the leap. I realized there’s a lot I didn’t think about in this process, until now in hindsight. It all started when we moved back in to our house. Hudson…
It has now been exactly one week since we moved back in to our home – YAY!!! – BUT the kicker is we’re still not 100% done. As I type this there’s tile guys here finishing some tile work, we have a punch list of things we need to finish, and our hood is still not working. But that is a renovation for you, they…
In the process of picking out fixtures for our house (ALMOST DONE – HERE’S A PROGRESS PICTURE ABOVE!!) I realized that it’s really hard to find gold hardware and fixtures! It seems like a tireless battle, and I had to dig really deep to find exactly what I was looking for, which was basic hardware that was not TOO elegant. Something approachable, but in gold! For…
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 As we’ve been ALMOST getting to the point of moving back in to our home after renovations, I’ve started searching for home decor, including new rugs. I realized there’s so many sites that I pop onto to find rugs, but I’ve never shared them all in a single…
You know how Murphy’s law says whatever can go wrong will go wrong? Well that’s how I feel about 2019 so far. It’s been one hell of a trying year, which in some ways ABSOLUTELY HEALED me and my anxiety, but in other ways almost broke me. In 2018, I spent most of the year overworked, overtired and just busy busy busy. So when I…
