What is your favorite nursing bra and tank for those first few months when you're tender and sore from breastfeeding? Heather: I always wore Cake maternity sports bras during postpartum. They're a little pricey but worth it to me.. the material is extra soft and my boobs had no business being in any sort of real bra with underwire or straps digging into my skin. I needed comfort all day long. … [Read more...]

20 Week Bump Date
How Far Along: Halfway there.. I can't even believe it! The first 20 weeks went by pretty slow in my opinion and I have a feeling the second half is going to fly.. at least until those last few weeks (which last 365 days). We have a very busy summer planned and before we know it, it'll be September, then October, then oh sh*t he's gonna be here. Not. Ready. But who's ever ready for a … [Read more...]
Happy Hour
Did you use an app for tracking breastfeeding? Alix: No I'm old school and like to see it all written down. I kept a little journal with my feeding times (aiming for a minimum of 8 feeds/24 hours I believe) and a tally for poops and pees (for Quinn- not me haha). I think I did this for about a 1-2 weeks until she was gaining weight and we had a little routine down. I also had a hair tie I wore … [Read more...]
My Weekday Meal Plan + Workouts
While chatting with a few other mom friends... we all agreed that lunch for us often turns into just a bunch of snacks all afternoon. A handful of crackers here, a bar there, a few bites of your kids uneaten mac & cheese...so unsatisfying! So my goal for this week was to have everything on hand to make a well balanced MEAL at lunch time. On Sunday afternoon I came up with dinner ideas for … [Read more...]
What’s In My Vacation Bag
Typically, my family goes to Wisconsin for the 4th of July because that's where Britt's family lives. It has been a tradition ever since we met but this year, we are postponing our trip until the end of the month. So that freed up our 4th of July plans! This year, along with three other families (literally 8 adults and 9 kids.. Jesus take the wheel), we rented a house in Seabrook. It's a coastal … [Read more...]

A Third Time Mom’s Baby Registry
Truth bomb: I gave away all of Cameron and Jackson's baby items (clothes, high chairs, play mats, etc) because like I said, we. were. done. OOPS. Guess again. So I have found myself building out a new registry but this time, I am going #minimal. Bare necessities. I'm going to give you a little glimpse into the items I've already registered for and can't live without during those first few months.. … [Read more...]
Happy Hour
What does a healthy toddler diet look like? How much protein? do they really need from cow's milk, etc? First I'll say - every kiddo's needs are different so always ask your pediatrician for specific recommendations. I would also consult with your pediatrician about your child's need for cows milk and discuss how else your child is getting adequate dairy intake (cheese, yogurt, … [Read more...]
