I’m just gonna say it– maternity clothes can be a tough one. So many of them are just not cute, and at a time when so much of your body is changing— feeling good shouldn’t have to be something you go without. I have usually skirted around buying a bunch of maternity clothes (for my […]

Well, I’ve got a big life update for you all this week. I’m coming out of one of the hardest, darkest times of my life. AND, I feel so grateful. And thankful. And beyond blessed by what I’m about to share with you: I am PREGNANT. Baby #3 is on the way!! I can barely […]

I’ve traveled now with both kids when they were the ages of 6 weeks old, 8 weeks old, 10 weeks old, 12 weeks old, 4 months, 5 months, and 6-18 months. And along the way, I have picked up a few tips & hacks that can help make travel smoother and easier… for all of […]

I literally just let out an exhale as I sat down to write this. LOL. Does that explain it all? I’ve wanted to sit down and write a life update for a while. I’ve had so many thoughts and things to share, and have really felt this pull lately to get back to capturing and […]

One of the biggest delights of motherhood for me is showing my babies how to have a healthy, joyful relationship with food. To listen to their hunger and fullness cues. To be exposed to a variety of tastes and textures and real, whole ingredients. To experience food as more than just a utility, but as […]

There is no hunger like the hunger of a newly nursing mama. It’s taken me by surprise in both of my postpartum experiences– but it totally makes sense when you think about it. Your body is literally nourishing and keeping this tiny human alive, on top of healing itself and working with minimal sleep. It […]

True story: I’m not a lover of maternity clothes. Ok ok, there are some things that make life a lot easier when you’re pregnant (one pair of maternity jeans, a few leggings, a pair of shorts— depending what time of year you’re giving birth of course).  A few “true” maternity items can be necessary, but […]

You guys… I think I’ve decided that motherhood is just a constant whirlwind tears and love and mess… all wrapped up together with a “how is time going by so fast?!” mantra on repeat. Anyone else? My goodness. It just kills me a little! Noah is 2. 2!!! How did that happen so quickly? Man, […]

The snack ball. Otherwise known as secret freezer weapons. I mean, I’ve always been a fan. And how can you not? They’re quick, easy, stay fresh for months in the freezer, and are packed full of great healthy fat, protein, minerals and SUBSTANCE when you don’t have time to think too hard about getting something […]

Phew. It’s so hard to believe that it’s been 6 weeks 7 weeks 3 months 4 1/2 months (OMG, how?!) since our little guy has made his arrival. And, truth: the thing I am most proud of in the last 4 1/2 months have been: taking care of myself, my body, my mind, my spirit, […]

Note: Welp. After spending a few weeks on this post, I was putting the finishing touches on it on a Monday night, when my contractions started coming on strong. I ended up going into labor, tapping here on this little keyboard, trying to frantically get this post done before he came. But the little guy […]

Ok, it feels like forever since I’ve done a little pregnancy update. And since most of your Q’s on Question Monday (on instagram), seem like they’re pregnancy related, I think it might be time. I have to be honest, doing so feels slightly silly to me,  but I also love the idea of trying to […]
