I coerce my family to do a photo shoot at least once a year. There’s definitely some bribing involved… but come on, none of us are past that when the need calls. I do this for so many reasons; I don’t think … Continue reading
That’s when I met Bee from ‘Bee is for Babywearing’. A Certified babywearing consultant, small shop owner & all-around badass mama of 3 wild bees! The more I share photos of our babywearing adventures, the more questions I receive about babywearing… and while I love encouraging other mamas & papas to try it, I’d rather leave the advice giving to the professional – that’s where Bee comes in, my go-to resource for all things babywearing. We’ve partnered up to give you the gift of her hands-on experience & resources in this guest post & if you hang in there till’ the end, there’s a link below for a chance to buy a custom toddler wrap conversion! (and with every entry, you’ll instantly get a coupon to her shop!) Continue reading
New babies means…lots of MILK! Ya’ll have me thinking back to the very beginning of our own journey… Although my son is only a couple months away from his 3rd birthday, these milestones can make those new days feel like a lifetime away! Both of us fumbling around like Bambi with no clue what we were doing. But it gets better I promise… I’m not just saying that to be nice either. No sugar coating here. The milk & boobie gods didn’t cut me any slack… I had just about every bump in the road you can think of – at least that’s how it felt at the time…
If you want to talk milk, experiences & supply tips read on in this post. If this doesn’t apply to you, please kindly continue on with your day… Continue reading
I can’t say I left God’s house a changed person that day but I was given a gift by my uncle & his peers – a great reminder that we are all capable of being a valuable vehicle in this life. My hope is that I am remembered for being a vehicle that has traveled with the intentions to; love more, judge less, act with more patience, respond with more kindness, pour more love unto others, be less selfish, give when I am able & always remember that “tomorrow is a new day.”
That is the religion I will choose to practice. May you embrace this gift, too.
overnight oats are where it’s at for me. I seriously forgot how much I love this stuff! I feel like there is this misconception about them that they don’t taste good because they’re healthy, that they’re mushy or can only be made a certain way…. Just forget about what you’ve heard and do me a favor? Give them an honest try will you? Because there is no better time than the cold, fall or winter months for some good ole’ comfort foods and this is definitely one worth adding to your list! Continue reading
“I am human – imperfect, happy, sad, motivated, lazy, funny, boring, energized, exhausted, thriving, content…I am not all things every day. I am not all things every month or even every year. Sometimes I forget who I am – small pieces of the puzzle interchanging as I develop through different milestones of life – whether for a day or weeks at a time. It is easy to forget which part of me should come first or what is most important at that moment. Like a scale, tipping back & fourth as I try to divide myself into enough time, energy & resources to fill each void. To be in BALANCE.” Continue reading
