A Thoughtful Care Package Idea for New Moms

A Thoughtful Care Package Idea for New Moms

Once Charlie was born and we came home from the hospital, we were obviously happy to be home but also sad not to have Charlie with us (since he was still in the NICU). I was recovering from the C-section and everything that comes with delivery, and then on top of that, there were a lot of emotions with not having Charlie home, finally getting to see George again, dealing with some stuff George was going through, etc. It was a lot, not going to lie, and I know most new moms go through alllll similar emotions when first getting home. ...

What I Took to the Hospital

What I Took to the Hospital

As most of you know by now (and if you don't, head to the 'Charles' highlight on IGS if you're interested), we had Charlie much earlier than anticipated. So much so that I didn't have a hospital bag packed...or really anything ready, if I'm honest. So while I had intentions of sharing what I was packing for the hospital in my content calendar, our story didn't go that way. Instead, it was basically Austin tossing stuff in a bag for me, and then once I found out I'd be in the hospital indefinitely, a more curated packing job that I talked him through on Facetime. ...

What She’d Love For Mother’s Day

What She’d Love For Mother’s Day

With Mother's Day being just about a week away, I wanted to share a list of things I think all women in mother figure roles would appreciate - I know I would. Personally, I have this dog tag necklace on my wishlist, plus a couple smaller things I'm sharing in this post. From more budget-friendly gifts like this ribbed mug to one of my favorite skincare tools (that's on sale!) or personalized jewelry (I have and love this necklace for Geroge), there should be something for everyone on your list - or great inspo to send your guy. Happy early Mother's Day to everyone! ...

What I’m Wearing from Amazon During my Pregnancy

What I’m Wearing from Amazon During my Pregnancy

I did a Pregnancy Q+A on Instagram recently and a popular question that came up was where to shop for maternity clothes. But honestly, there's very few maternity brands that I like. With the exception of pants, I try to stick with stretchy or flowy non-maternity pieces that will accommodate the bump. I typically have good luck at Amazon and prefer to not spend a ton on tops or dresses that I'm not going to wear past the pregnancy. ...

Here’s How to Entertain a One-Year-Old

Here’s How to Entertain a One-Year-Old

If you read his 1-Year Update, you know that George is now 14 months and officially a walker. He's changed so much over the last few months and let's just say keeping him entertained is harder than when he was a baby. He definitely likes to be on the move and switching things up constantly. And now that we're all at home and trying to work while entertaining him, I've tried just about every activity suggested to keep him entertained. If you're a mama to a child around George's age, I thought it would be helpful to compile what's worked best for us. ...

Resources and Children’s Books for Discussing Systemic Racism and Diversity at Home

Resources and Children’s Books for Discussing Systemic Racism and Diversity at Home

One of the most important things I've learned in the last week is how important it is to talk to our children about race, and not just diversity but what racism means and looks like. Specifically what it means to be anti-racist, privileged and what implicit biases are. Those might seem like adult concepts, but as studies have shown, it's never too early to start talking to your kids about them. For anyone looking to get started doing this along with Austin and I, I've compiled some amazing resources and books. From black voices and leaders on Instagram to children's books and helpful articles, everything below should help you start having these necessary conversations in your home. ...
