-Parents-to-be: blackout curtains are a fantastic investment. We got some for Liv’s nursery in the loft, which I had been wanting to do because from the street at night, you can see into the loft bec...
-I’m further convinced that being a mom makes you say things you think make sense and/or are funny, when in fact it isn’t the case at all. Number of times I’ve said unfunny jokes out loud in the past...
Lots of fun little projects have been going on lately, including: the Pinterest-inspired photo wall for upstairs (collecting frames in various textures, all in the same color family and pickin...
(Saw this on Facebook- if you have the accurate source, please let me know!) Not our house this morning. Most mornings are pretty amazing. Liv will wake up anywhere between 5-6, I’ll feed her in our ...
Since Livi was born, I have loved being able to wear her in the Moby and Baby K’tan. In the beginning, that’s the only place she would nap, and I loved feeling her soft baby snores on my chest. (she ...
Every night during my last time pumping before bed, I pin things on Pinterest and lurk Facebook. It’s my “waste time on the computer” 20 minutes of the day, and while perusing around last night, I sa...
It seems like it was just yesterday that I was uncomfortably pregnant, waiting with anxiety to see when I’d actually go into labor –it felt like it was never going to happen- and dying to meet our ba...
The experiences of being pregnant and breastfeeding changed my relationship with food in an amazing way. When I first began my weight loss journey quite a few years ago, I approached nutrition the sa...
This is a question I get pretty often. If you’ve been reading my blog since the early days, you know I wasn’t always stoked about the idea of having a baby. I knew I wanted kids eventually, but thoug...
-First I thought that my husband holding a baby was dreamy, but wearing an Ergo just takes it to another level. -Babies in sunglasses = just about the cutest thing ever (They’re still a little too bi...
We weren’t always the best at doing tummy time. You’re supposed to do it as often as possible during the day, so the baby can build up neck strength and doesn’t get a flat head from laying down all t...
Livi has been able to roll over from her back to her stomach for a few weeks. At first, it was just an awesome sign of development, and now it’s starting to give us anxiety because she’s doing it in ...
Back when we thought Livi was a boy, we couldn’t agree on a name. We had a list of favorites, but nothing stood out. (I still really love the name Remington, though!) When we found out the baby was i...
-I’m kind of addicted to the Babycenter forums. I discovered them a few months ago, but it’s pretty amazing because you can check out the forums for the month your baby was born: It’s fun to see how ...
I didn’t think it was possible, but this little face continues to get cuter every day… and continues to amaze me with how quickly she’s growing and developing, her funny expressions, tiny laughs, smi...
It’s been a crazy week over here. -Tom flying nights (again- oh how I loathe night flights. When he gets home in the middle of the night, he calls me to wake me up so I can take Bella downstairs and ...
Remember my April Fool’s joke? It was more of a “I hope I’m joking” kinda thing. I know now that I’m not preg, but I was totally wondering-thinking in the back of my mind that I might be. Not gonna l...
Sound like an oxymoron, huh? Well it kind of is Working out with an infant is tough stuff, but it can happen, whether it’s in short little blurbs during the day, accidental exercise (you’re bending d...
One of the girls at work is about 37 weeks pregnant, and I can’t help but look at her belly and think “I miss that.” Especially yesterday, when it was my first time teaching Zumba at work without my ...
It’s end of an era over here… Two nights ago was Liv’s first night in her crib and also without her swaddle. We figured it was time to stop since she busts out of it every night anyway and she can ro...
One of the questions I get pretty frequently is if I plan for Liv to eat the same way I do. Tom and I have talked about this a little bit, but it’s always been understood that she’ll eat like he does...
Oh my….. April Fools! Another one would be a blessing, but we’d like to wait a little while Hope you’re having a happy Sunday <3
-Really, BabyBump App? I’m 52 weeks pregnant! -When I kiss Liv on the cheek, she turns her face towards me and licks my cheek. Her version of a kiss, I guess -She also started to realize that everyon...
“Wee one” = something I’d never say in real life, but I like typing it. Kinda like “y’all” Thank you so much for all of your awesome comments on my last post. I always love to hear about your experie...
When a baby started growing in my belly, my brain disappeared to make room. I locked us all out of the house this morning. That’s a half-smile. I felt horrible I always check the bottom handle of the...
[My last post about sleep for a while, I promise! It’s a valuable commodity, though, and wish I would have read more about sleep routines and tips while I was pregnant] It still mystifies me that bab...
Another long, but at the same time too short, amazing week <3 -Friday has become Eclectic Cafe day with the girls over here. Two weeks ago, we met Kelly, Meara and their babies, last week it was M...
We had a major sleep victory over here two nights ago: Livi slept through the night! I thought my eyes were messing with me when I heard her start to cry to let us know she was awake, because SUNLIGH...
Well, well, look at the little friends You’ll be the smallest one in the house again pretty soon here, Bell I thought I’d write a little update about Bella and Livi, since a few of ya have asked if i...
-We had some fun setting up the video monitor last night. After making faces at each other over the little camera, I was upstairs brushing my teeth and I get a text from Tom saying “I’m watching you”...
