I've never done a motherhood update and thought it would be fun to change gears and talk more about my experiences being a mom.  Quinn turned 2 in August and I feel like she has really transitioned into being a full blown toddler! She's always had a strong personality, which I think will serve her well in the future, but it makes my job a bit challenging at the moment. I should have known she … [Read more...]

I'm probably jinxing myself by packing my hospital bag this early and Parker will come a week LATE but I'm type A and can't help it. With Jackson, my hospital bag was more like a hospital suitcase.. I brought all. the. things. Let me tell you how many things I used from that suitcase.. five (maybe). So let's just say I've learned my lesson to go MINIMAL and bring the essentials.

However, I plan to start all the labor inducing tactics come 36 weeks (which I … [Read more...]

As some of you may have seen on Instastories, I recently had a melanoma scare and I thought writing a blog post about my experience might bring some awareness to the topic or even get one of you non-believers to the dermatologist for a skin check. When was the last time you saw a dermatologist who checked your entire body (we're talking your scalp, in between your fingers and toes, between your … [Read more...]

Too soon? Sorry not sorry ;) It's basically fall so you can find me swiping all the cans of pumpkin off the grocery store shelves and getting B U S Y in the kitchen! There is so much hype around pumpkin and for good reason.. if you're eating REAL pumpkin (not the artificial stuff sold most places...more on that below).  Pumpkin is actually really nutritious...if you needed an excuse to eat more of … [Read more...]

sunglasses | dress | flannel | backpack | slides How Far Along: 28 weeks, in the THIRD TRIMESTER HOLLAAAAAAAAA and it's officially going fast now. Less than 90 days and this little dude is going to rock our world. Feeling: very tired. very over it. very anti-social. patience non-existent. I feel like I haven't had a chance to slow down and really think about how a third kid is going to change … [Read more...]
