Our man of the house is back! Once again, JP had to cross the Atlantic. This time he was gone for 11 days. 11 long days! While he was gone, it was just us girls at home. Not only was JP gone, but my mom went up to Denver with my dad for the first …
#momlife: We All Have Those Days
Over the years, we’ve all seen the hilarity behind the hashtag momlife. Social media has helped to show us what is going on in other moms’ lives to show that we really aren’t alone. The best thing about #momlife is that everyone’s story is similar but different in so many ways. We can relate to …
To the random stranger…
Yesterday I was walking with Chloe and was almost hit by a car. By far the closest call I’ve ever had and the most shaken I’ve been. If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you already saw my post and read the story. If you don’t follow me…then you should! But here’s the background …
Must Have Breastfeeding Products for a Successful Journey
Happy World Breastfeeding Week! Earlier this week, I shared my own personal breastfeeding journey and some very special pictures that I’d love for you to see before we talk about my must have breastfeeding products.

5 Favorite Toys at 11 months!
Hey y’all! This week things have been back to normal. {Thank goodness!} I’m no longer sick, we’re not traveling and we don’t have a crazy, busy schedule. We’ve actually had time at home to hang out and just play. Yesterday, my little hurricane decided it would be fun to play a game called get out …
How to Get Back to Running Postpartum
Running has been a passion of mine since my senior year of college. I started running because I wanted to run a half marathon just to say that I could do it. As a highly competitive person and someone who loves health and fitness, it just made sense! Fast forward several years and many half …

39 Week Bumpdate
Hi! Remember me? I know I’ve been gone, but these last few weeks of pregnancy have really gotten to me! I’m completely exhausted or completely wired. Neither of those are conducive to sitting down at my computer and spilling out my heart on my blog. I’ll be back regularly soon! So these past few weeks …
37 Week Bumpdate
I know this blog has pretty much just turned into a place where I talk about Chloe with bumpdates, nursery pictures and baby shower recaps. I promise it won’t be like this always. I’m just trying to remember this time while I can. I won’t be pregnant for much longer and it’s something I really …
