As you may or may not know, I’ve been a stay at home mom for the majority of the last 3 ½ years. I’m someone who prides myself on being independent, so not working has always been something that I struggled with. Call it pride, call it being boujee, call it whatever you want, but […]

I finally got the time to sit down and write out Andrew’s birth story. Newborn life + toddler life makes for an extra busy mama! Anyway, I’m excited to share Drew’s story with y’all; plus I’ll have the written out memory to look back on. I will say his birth was relatively normal and “uneventful” […]

One of the funnest parts of pregnancy is making your baby registry. Shopping for all the cute things, doing research on strollers, and planning out all the details for your little one’s arrival. In the midst of that excitement, creating your registry can get very overwhelming. I mean, there is a LOT of baby stuff […]

We never know what having a baby will be like until we do it. So it’s no surprise that most of us can be very “by the books” the first time around. I definitely was. When I was pregnant with Jackson, I was very cautious about everything I did and I planned everything out, fully […]

It’s that time of year – the Sephora VIB/Rouge/Insider sale! I used to go CRAZY over this sale, I’m not going to lie. I’ve settled down on my makeup obsession the last few years, because #momlife. I just don’t have the “energy” to play with makeup and do a so called full glam very often. […]

First, let me preface this post by saying I AM GRATEFUL. I’m grateful for my life and what I have. I’m grateful for my family, who are all safe and healthy. I’m grateful for my husband who works his ass off to support us. And I’m grateful for all of the little things that make […]

I love a good deal, but even more than that, I love a good shoe.  Steve Madden has to be my favorite shoe brand.  They always have TONS of new styles in any and every type of shoe you can imagine.  I will admit, they’re on the pricier side, but I really do think they’re […]

We all know that life with kids is hectic. Mornings can be especially so when you have kids to get to school, your spouse is headed to work, and you may be headed to work as well. You’re pulled in a million different directions trying to get diapers changed, people dressed and fed, teeth brushed, […]

860 days. That’s how long I breastfed Jackson for. 123 weeks, 28 months, almost 2 ½ years. A LONG ASS TIME. I honestly never planned to breastfeed that long, nor did I ever think we would last that long. I figured he’d wean himself at some point, but for the last year of our journey, […]
