When Your Second Baby Changes Your Heart
I recently shared photos from Ev’s first birthday party but I wanted to also share these thoughts, specifically as a summary to that first year of life, in a post separate from the festivities. I feel it’s important to not only document milestones in my life but celebrate the coming out on the other side […]

We have an impressive farmer’s market in the area of town we love most, situated close to our favorite coffee shops, charming restaurants, and established neighborhoods. More than often, we prep our meal […]

Organizing Our Kids’ Keepsakes
Over the last year or so I’ve been on quite the purging adventure, ridding our home of things we don’t need or love. It’s been a really slow yet consistent process and I’d say we’re about 80% ‘there’ with ‘there’ being a place where nothing requires massive attention or causes unnecessary stress and upkeep in […]

Well! We officially have a three year old! Lachlan’s birthday party was this past weekend which worked out nicely since his official birthday landed on a Friday this year.

Eight Weeks With Everett Drew
Remember this post? Talk about long days and short years. Here we are living that truth out all over again. When I was pregnant with Everett, I imagined his newborn days would be as easy as the ones I had with Lachlan. Lachlan’s newborn days weren’t anything tremendously difficult or far from textbook ordinary but […]

Soaking In The Trenches
It’s Friday. I realize six weeks ago I was in a recovery room holding my brand new little boy. But today I sit on the couch delicately balancing a hungry 12 pound baby in my left arm for what feels like the thirteen time since 5:00 am, and in my right hand, a book about […]

A Tale of Two Birth Stories
After the birth of my first son, Lachlan, I carried a lot of shame and guilt. I’ve never shared his full birth story like I had planned because it remains deeply personal and very much an experience that monumentally changed my life. But after giving birth to Everett, our second son and newest family addition, […]

Thoughts On Becoming A Mama To Two
We are days away from welcoming our second baby to the world. I’m full of so many emotions! Being a parent, or rather being a mother since that’s all I can relate to, is an interesting demographic to be an active participant of. I find mothers to be some of the most emotionally driven, openly […]

My Favorite Tidying Up Trick
Even though the title of this post alludes to me sharing one sole tidying up trick, I promise the post length you’re about to enjoy is necessary to share just how awesome it is. So I preface my post with a yes, this is a long blog post but an even bigger yes, it’s worth […]

Lachlan’s Toddler Room and Our In Home Maternity Session
It’s funny how a second pregnancy can feel so different from a first. Before finding out we were expecting this second baby I heard a lot from friends and even strangers about how different a second pregnancy and baby can be. And I didn’t really understand how vast the differences were until I went through […]

Belly Birth Hospital Bag Essentials / PART TWO
The feedback on last week’s belly birth hospital bag essentials post was encouraging and heartwarming. It seems to me there are a lot of mamas out there dealing with grief and guilt over their unplanned or emergency c section deliveries. So I consider it both a joy and honor to help give even the tiniest bit […]
