9 Things New Moms Shouldn’t Be Ashamed Of

This post is sponsored by Vagisil® & SheKnows Media. Last Tuesday, I had the pleasure of attending a panel called “Wine & Gyn” in NYC. Tbh, an event like this would have never made me excited before having Hudson, but now after having gone through childbirth, I absolutely love to hear other women candidly speak about their own experiences in a judgement-free room. It was…

My Morning Commute With Uber

This post was sponsored by Uber, but all opinions are my own. As most of you may know (or maybe not) I live about 1 hour outside of NYC in a beach town. I love the calm salty air and the sound of silence that hits me when I step off of the train. While sometimes I dream of living in NYC, Long Beach feels like my home,…

1 Must-Have When Roadtripping With A Baby

We’re quickly becoming pretty good at roadtripping with a baby, and bringing the car on trips makes bringing baby gear much easier! We were excited to test out the CYBEX Cloud Q carseat in this beautiful Autumn Gold color that I’ve chosen as “Hudson’s color” since he was born. I always see the Cloud Q out and about, and they look so sleek! There’s a few really…

Mornings Like These

* This post was sponsored by Macy’s but all opinions are my own! So many mornings, I instantly jump up to check e-mails or start crossing off items on my to-do list, and it feels so good to take a morning like this once in a while to eat some fruit in bed, enjoy my coffee and lounge around in these insanely cozy joggers from Macy’s…

My 1st Mother’s Day

My first Mother’s Day was a day of few pictures, but here’s the only ones we snapped! I woke up to Matt making me breakfast (a yogurt parfait) and Hudson’s cute smile! We fed him pineapple for the first time and then I played with him until he took a full two hour nap (usually he only naps for an hour in the morning!) While he…

A Note To My Mom on Mother’s Day / The Gift of Chocolate!

This year, after becoming a mom, I can truly connect with and understand my own mom, and all of the sacrifices she made for me. She always used to say “You’ll understand when you become a mom,” and those words COULD NOT BE MORE TRUE.   So this Mother’s Day, Hudson and I are sending over an “e-card” via this blog post, filled with merci…

Hudson’s 6 Month Update + Unpublished Pictures!

This month was the hardest month yet, because I felt like I had no time with Hudson. But it was also incredible, because Hudson had so many firsts! BABY UPDATE:  Hudson started to [easily] roll front to back, sit up on his own, say “bababa” and “dadada,” laugh even louder, grunt and just become waaay more of a human being! Sometimes, he just laughs at…

Our Kitchen Refresh With West Elm

As most of you know, we renovated our kitchen last year. It looked 100% better, but I was super pregnant, and didn’t have much time to put those finishing touches on things. I always felt like the kitchen was plain, but between having Hudson and figuring out life as a new mom, I didn’t put much time or energy toward it. When West Elm mentioned…

Girlfriend Jeans + A Hudson Appearance (& 10 Secret Things About Me!)

I saw a few people on instagram share 10 secrets about themselves that aren’t out for the world to see yet, and I thought this idea was fun! You guys hear me babble on and on about my clothing choices and my life path, but I never really share much about who I am! 1. I grew up skateboard and surfing! Yup, probably never mentioned…

10 Things I Miss About Life Before Being a Mom

There’s some things women generally don’t talk about after becoming a mom – the gory details of their deliveries (it’s all rainbows and babies, right?), the changes in their sexuality and their marriage, but most of all they don’t really ever share the negatives and the setbacks in becoming a mom. Don’t get me wrong, I love Hudson with my whole heart, and would much…

An Outfit In Brooklyn

Lately I’ve been gravitating toward wearing my hair up, because A. it’s way quicker and B. it’s falling out, so this is a fun way to cover that up. Also, Hudson always pulls on it now! Most days I throw on denim and a tee, so it felt good to plan out this look and feel sort of like my “old self.” Some of these…
