A lifestyle blog
He is 16 months old, and I'm already hiding vegetables to get my toddler to eat them. Is that bad? 🙂 A lot of things I read about feeding toddlers said to give them a few foods at each meal and make sure that at least one of those foods is something they like. Well, [...]
Ok...let's get something out of the way. November kicked my butt. Big time. I took this break from blogging to get my stuff together, get organized, be more consistent. And, October was great! I posted consistently, I was happy with what I was posting. Then, November happened. Halloween (ok, that's October, but still) and DIY [...]
I thought I would jump on here while Landon is napping to share what has been keeping me so busy this last week. Our little guy turned 1, so naturally, I had to throw a party. Granted, this was more of a party for the grown ups than for the kids as there were only [...]
I think I officially have a toddler. I mean, when I spend the entire day either chasing the little munchkin or saying "No, Landon...no, no, no....Landon, that's not to play with" that equals toddler, right?!?! When he first learned what the word "no" meant, he would usually stop whatever behavior I was saying no to. [...]
When I got pregnant, I had this vision of super chic baby gear, all matching and all coordinating with my home décor. Hang on one second.... Ok...sorry....just had to laugh at my pre-baby self for a minute 🙂 Here's the reality, babies need stuff. Lots of stuff. And in the moment, you will buy just [...]
Landon is officially moved into the nursery! He has slept in his own room the last 3 nights. I'd like to say it's going well but...not so much. His first night was amazing, slept 8pm to almost 7am, only waking up twice for his pacifier. The last 2 nights and now today, however, have been [...]
I started this blog almost 3 years ago, and what began as a home décor/remodeling blog has quickly turned into a lifestyle, but mostly baby related, blog. To those who started following me in the very beginning, I'm sorry if this has taken a different turn than expected, but if you're reading this then hopefully [...]
I am so excited to FINALLY share this project with you all! I have been working on it for what feels like forever. Wait...you mean...having a baby will drastically change the amount of time in the day you have to accomplish things?!?! Case in point, I've been trying to write this blog post for 3 [...]
Someone contacted me asking about some of the furniture details in Landon's nursery and I realized that I never shared the finished crib! No time like the present... I remember sharing a while back that I was having trouble finding a crib that I liked. I wanted white distressed wood. Everything I was finding in [...]
Yesterday was the epitome of new motherhood. We spent Christmas weekend with family, traveling to and from different houses to celebrate. By the time Monday rolled around, I was exhausted and thought I was coming down with the flu. I think I was just very tired because it never turned into anything, thankfully. But I [...]
The fourth trimester...I saw things on Facebook and Pinterest about this topic when I was pregnant but I didn't really read anything about it until now. Essentially, it speaks to baby being in the womb for 40 weeks and how shocking it is to them when they are born to no longer have hunger & [...]
I CAN NOT believe my baby is already 2 weeks old!! How did that happen already! We have spent the last 2 weeks getting to know each other, I'm learning all his cues and we are really starting to get into a good rhythm. Luckily, it seems he has taken after me in the sleep [...]
I thought it would be fitting to share our maternity photos the week baby is due 🙂 Only 2 more days until due date...not a whole lot of action so far...hopefully he starts making some moves soon because this mama is getting uncomfortable! Of course our photos were shot by my amazingly talented friend, Janine, [...]
If you've learned anything from me over the last couple years, it's probably that I like white distressed furniture and it is extremely hard to find already finished. There is plenty of white furniture with no distressing and plenty of off white or cream with distressing and I even found a few bright white distressed [...]
We went in for our 34 week check up, which is more like a 35 week check up because it was 1 day shy. Baby boy is still transverse, he is really comfortable and really stubborn apparently. So, doctor said that if he hasn't turned by our 37 week check up, they will set [...]
I have a confession...when I first found out I was pregnant, I said again and again, I'm not going to wear "maternity clothes". I had this idea in my head of the look and design of maternity wear being frumpy, not cute, not fashion forward. Don't get me wrong, there are certainly some maternity items [...]
