Valentines Day is nearly here! Am I crazy Valentines Day person? Have I become obsessed with the “day of love”? Do I think its THE day to celebrate love? Nope. My Dad taught me different. There are 365 days in the year. 365 days in a year to tell your spouse, boyfriend/girlfriend, fiancee/fiancé, that you […]
Oh hello month 4 of pregnancy! At least that’s what my pregnancy app told me this morning. I still don’t understand the weeks to months dating. For example; I have my 20 week ultrasound booked for mid March. Which means i’ll be 4 1/2 months pregnant, half way to 9 months/40 weeks. BUT my app […]
Well slap me in the face, call me a cross eyed platypus, throw a pineapple at me and shoot me with coffee! Baby #2 is on the way! I’ve put my relationship with wine on hold in order to commit myself to pre-natals. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Honestly I wasn’t expecting to have Bev and our next baby […]
Christmas is SIX days away people! Get ready for a short and “straight-to-the-point” blogpost since WE AINT GOT TIME TO SPARE with Christmas being so close.

HAPPY WEDDING ANNIVERSARY TO ME!!!! . . . And Elih Thanks for sending me all your awesome questions!! Time for some answers. . . This isn’t going to be easy Elih and I didn’t have that straight forward relationship where we liked each other, dated, got engaged and married. We didn’t have […]
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 […]
Beverly This little chica is a blast! Day by day I continue to see more of her bright and crazy personality shine through! Her massive toothless smile paired with those squinting navy eyes melts my heart on a daily basis. Its moments like those I think about when she cries uncontrollably with a […]
Who doesn’t love coffee? Who doesn’t use it? Mamas, Papas, students, teachers, world leaders. We all run our separate worlds with the strength of a good cup o’ joe. Ever seen Gilmore Girls? For those of you who haven’t i’ll fill you in on one of the most important details. . . Lorelai […]
Newborns don’t need much. Honestly. I may be a minimalist but even if you aren’t, newborns are. Although they don’t need a lot to be happy – a full tummy, clean diaper, and sleep – there are some things that make it easier to keep them on the sunny side. Of course every baby […]
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 […]
Collab | SarahTherese When I was in my early teens. . . I spent my Sunday afternoons with my siblings and our main group of friends. We would without fail every week walk to the local mall and grab food, and then shop at the same stores over and over again. Now being […]
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 […]

“I’ve learned that minimalism is not about what you own, it’s about why you own it.” – Brian Gardner My sister Sarah recently told me about a man who is basically the ultimate minimalist. Apparently he has one bowl, one plate, fork, knife, et cetera. No furniture except for a mat that he sits […]
