One of my favorite things about being a mama is the sense of excitement that comes hand in hand with holidays. While I’m fully aware of the commercialization around these events, I remain unapologetic about how much fun it’s been to both start new traditions and celebrate the holidays in different ways as a family. So […]

Out of all the events I’ve ever planned, this one might be my favorite. I believe there are certain milestones every parent looks forward to, and for me, one of those was planning a really fun and awesome first birthday party for Lachlan. When he was really little (we’re talking just a few weeks old) […]

I’ve typed and deleted this post numerous types trying to express how I feel about this day yet nothing has felt eloquent enough or as monumental as how I’m feeling about this day. One year ago everything changed when a perfect, almost nine pound baby boy was placed next to my swollen and tear stained […]

Tomorrow my baby finally turns one. So I thought today would be the the perfect time to finally share some of the photos from our family session we scheduled last October with Kelly Sweet. My plan was to schedule a family session when Lachlan was six months old to get photos of the half way […]

It’s no secret I became a mama a little over eight months ago. But what I haven’t shared much of is the instant and internal change that happened the minute my sweet baby was handed to me. It’s been monumental and admittedly a bit frightening to have such a shift in who I thought I […]

I’d risk the fall just to know how it feels to fly. Alicia Keys, How It Feels to Fly Lachlan turned five months over Father’s Day weekend and all sorts of emotions hit me like a freight train. Before I became a mama I braced myself for what I thought would be a really hard […]

Hi! My name is Rhi and I turn 30 today. Wait what? I’ve always wanted to do a 30 before 30 post but as I inched closer and closer to this milestone today it never happened. So instead I created a 40 before 40 post and I’m pretty excited about it! My 20s were really […]

Today is my first official Mother’s Day as a MAMA and guys, it’s still so unbelievable I have a little human of my own. Not a day goes by where I feel any less than overwhelmed with gratitude and joy for this season of life. Ironically, last year when I found out I was pregnant […]

Happy Monday, friends! I have officially been back to work for a week now and I’m feeling really great about it! While it feels like my 10 weeks of set maternity leave just flew by, I wanted to share five things that helped me prepare as intentionally as possible for both those weeks and beyond. […]

The days are long and the years are short. I’m not sure who came up with these wise words but I find them escaping my lips at least once a day. The photos throughout this post were taken when Lachlan was two days shy of being three weeks old. And today he turns 10 weeks […]

Morning, friends! This is part two of a post I created a couple weeks ago for first time mamas! You can read part one here. As I previously mentioned, there are so many things we have come to love and depend on as we settle into somewhat of a routine with our little dude. Narrowing […]

Ever since Lachlan was born, I’ve been really in tune to the things that have been helpful with the whole adjusting-to-a-new-normal process. I have been keeping a running list of items in my phone (usually updated during a 3:00 am nursing session!) and decided when I hit ten things I would blog about them. My […]
