The Strawberry Festival

Every year the orchard down the street from us holds a Strawberry Festival to celebrate the first picks from their crops, and I wanted to go enjoy being outside with Rylie and Jesse and seeing all the lovely babywearing girls from the local babywearing chapter. Unfortunately due to the weather they weren’t able to do [...]

Rylie is 2 Months Old

Everyone told me time would just fly right by….but I didn’t want to believe it. 2 months seems like forever when you just have your child, but boy did it come around fast as lightning. Every day there is a learning milestone (however small it may be) that she hits that makes me want to [...]

Still “sick”

I took Rylie in to see her doctor Monday just to make sure everything was ok. It is. I was basically told I was doing what I was supposed to (suctioning her nose) and that we just had to ride it out. My poor baby girl. I hate seeing her all stuffed up. We aren’t [...]

I am not being paid for this review on The Honest Company and I am not affiliated with the company in any way. All opinions are 100% my own. Before becoming pregnant I did a ton of research on cloth vs disposables and came to the conclusion that Jesse and I should try out cloth [...]

Today is my first official Mother’s Day, and I’m very excited! I know there are many more days like this to come but the fact that it is my first is such a blessing. Both Rylie and I are battling colds so we aren’t going to do anything special today except hang out on the [...]

Sorry about not blogging recently. Life is crazy busy right now for Jesse and I. We’re getting ready for Jesse’s deployment which is incredibly tough. He just got back from the training he had to do for his job, and now its just countdown time and trying to spend as much time together that we [...]

Lack of Sleep…Need Concealer!

I realized something this week, I need a better concealer. I need a high power formula or something because these black under eye circles are getting out of control. I’ve had them for a while now, but since Rylie has arrived they’ve obviously gotten worse due to the lack of sleep. Does anyone have any [...]

I Babywear!

Even before I got pregnant, I knew I wanted to” babywear”. The main reasons for me were because I didn’t want to lug around the car seat everywhere I went, I wanted my future child to be close to me and safe, and I can get things done easier around the house while babywearing. All [...]

She’s 1 Month Old!

This past month has gone by in such a blur. It’s like I blinked and it went from me being on the operating table to being here writing this blog post. A month ago I met the most adorable little soul I have ever seen, and I cannot believe how incredibly grateful I am to [...]

Style Saturday – Nursing Friendly Outfit

stylesat_bf

After some major trial and error while being out with Rylie, I decided this weekend’s Style Saturday should be dedicated to all the breastfeeding momma’s out there who are looking for stylish yet functional clothing to nurse in. I chose something so incredibly simple, because when you are breastfeeding sometimes it’s not very time friendly [...]
