With less than two weeks away from my due date, I figured it was about time I finished packing my hospital bag! When I had Beverly I really didn’t know what I needed to bring, or what was unnecessary. In the end I had a Very. Full. Bag. I packed anything and everything that […]
Can’t believe we are only approximately 3 weeks away from meeting this little babe! Feels as close as tomorrow! For the most part I’m doing pretty good. Yes, my body is definitely falling apart, but not nearly as bad as it was with Beverly by this point. With her I was on bed […]
Ya’ll know I’m all about making day to day life more simple to avoid stress! I had to recruit Elih to help me with this post. Why? Because I know I do certain things that help make day to day easier, but I’m so accustomed to it that I needed some extra brain power […]
Just a couple months to go! This pregnancy has definitely flown by way faster than the last one! When I was pregnant with Beverly I could tell you the week, day, hour, minute, second (slight exaggeration) I was in of pregnancy. This time around I have to give it a bit of thought as […]
I so enjoy hosting. It doesn’t matter what the occasion or guest list looks like! Let me have people over and the hostess inside me screams for joy! I recently had the pleasure of co-hosting a Bridal Shower for one of my best friends. Honestly, it was a HUGE success! Myself and Alaina (another Bridesmaid […]
There are few things more satisfying than taking a space in your home and transforming it, big or small, into your vision. Ever since we moved into our new suite almost a year ago – wow that went fast – I have felt stressed and overwhelmed by how our front entrance was set up. […]
“Tiger Stripes” “Angel Scratches” “Stretch Market” “Tiger Belly” Stretch Marks Not too long ago I posted a picture on Instagram of my poppin’ baby bump and all the stretch marks that wrap around it. The amount of comments and messages I got by Mama’s and young women who had their own share of stretch […]
CAUSEBOX is a company who sends out a box full of goodies once every season. But we have all seen this before. So what makes this company different and special? Easy. They do good. Every product that goes into that beautiful box of original artwork (designed by a global or local artist) is […]
Oh hello “over half way mark”! Well. . . I’m hoping its over half way. With Bev having been 10 days late, I am trying not to get my hopes up! This pregnancy continues to amaze me by how fast it’s going! Mentally I feel like I’m only 14 weeks pregnant! Time flies. […]
This post is inspired by some sweet conversations I’ve been having with my sister, Sar. Self Care Raise of hands – who here laughs at every “self care” video or blogpost? Just me? Don’t think so. . . It’s unrealistic. Most videos or blogs will tell you to make weekly manicure appointments […]
It’s therapeutic really. . . Grabbing a cup of coffee, sitting down on the couch, turning on some music, working with my hands to create. I could honestly get lost in knitting. I won’t blab for too long because y’all gotta get started on this sweet blanket! Feel free to create your own […]
I was nine days late on Thursday. Friday I was supposed to get induced. That was awful. . . Being nine days late with the summer heat cooking our part of the earth with the added bonus of being completely uncomfortable and living with constant pain is not something I would wish upon any of […]
HELLO FULL TERM!!! I would love to say that it feels good to be full term. . . But I would be lying. . . Full term is not a feel good time. Yes, baby is so close to being in our arms, and that is very exciting! BUT – I feel anything […]
Making the commitment to shop ethically can be a challenge just for yourself. Shopping ethically for your kids is a lot harder! Buying locally made, or sweatshop free clothing alone can be a big challenge and also very pricey. When you buy a product that wasn’t made by human beings who work for barely […]
This is for all the Mama’s Have you ever asked a pregnant woman, or a mother with a newborn how her pregnancy and/or delivery was? Did she respond with “Fine!”, or “Good!”? Perhaps something along those lines? How many Mamas have responded to that question with complete honesty? In my personal experience, almost […]

I think every Mama has slowly seen their nursery go from clean and organized to messy and chaotic. This line is usually crossed once the baby is born and you are actually using that room that previously remained still in its organized perfection. Don’t worry! It happens to us all. And if it never happened […]
