I know every mom says time goes by so fast, but my gosh it's so true. George just turned 9 months and I feel like it was just yesterday that he was born. Crazy. Anyways, here's a shortlist of our most used items for George. A lot of these we started implementing when he was 7/8 months, but he's really enjoying them now. ...
A lot of you already know that I started using Equilibria a few months ago. I shared more about my story here and opened up about why I started using CBD Oil. But I still get a lot of questions in my inbox, so I wanted to break down why I'm using it and answer a lot of these common questions. ...
This post has been a long time coming, but I figured it'd be more helpful to write everything out vs share in stories. I know a lot of people travel to be with family and friends over the next couple of months with Spring Break and Summer, so if that happens to be you - and it's your first time flying with a baby - I truly hope sharing what Aus and I learned in our experience is helpful. ...
Happy New Year, TTD fam. I am officially back in the office and gearing up for an incredible 2020. I love words and quotes that motivate and inspire (words of affirmation is my love language after all) and I've been pinning away on Pinterest during my time off and these words really stuck with me. I had to share them with you. ...
When Austin and I knew that we wanted to have a baby, I became very diligent about taking prenatal vitamins, creating healthier eating habits (doesn't mean I always did though - your girl loves ice cream) and opting for cleaner beauty products. ...
I did a little Q+A last Friday and couldn't believe how many baby-related questions came through. There were quite a few repeats, so I wanted a place to document the most popular questions in hopes all of you who were curious, got a chance to see! ...
Life can get crazy no matter what your circumstances are (mom, single, etc.) but sometimes it feels a little trickier to work through than usual. I've been thinking about this for sometime, and really didn't know how I wanted to talk about it. But I would say, if you're feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or depressed, it's always good to get the conversation started with someone you trust.
From the general stress of work to feeling like I don't have the best work-life balance to wondering if I'm not giving the relationships in my life the time they need—there's a lot on my mind 24/7 and some weeks it really takes a toll. ...
Life moves so quickly and I truly didn't understand that until I became a mom. Watching George (or Georgie as we like to call him) grow has been an incredible gift. It's also been a learning opportunity for Austin and I as we navigate new milestones, schedule changes and life with a baby. ...
Almost four months later, I finally feel like I'm getting energy back to get dressed (most days), but in the early early stages of motherhood, that simply wasn't the case. I lived in comfy loungewear and honestly didn't even deal with jeans for at least a few weeks. And while that was comfy and all, I did occasionally miss, you know, looking decent. ...
The moment I learned that I was pregnant was unforgettable. My mind was immediately filled with so many emotions: excitement, worry, anxiety and an overwhelming amount of hope that this would be a healthy pregnancy. As the pregnancy progressed, I read so many books and blogs about motherhood, sleep schedules, daily routines, and more. Like many new mothers, I was trying to do my best to prepare for raising a child. Even though I was a kinder and first grade school teacher for several years, I really didn't have much experience with babies. This was ALL new to me, but I was determined to learn as much as possible. ...
