The Blog

I’m continuously working on me and thinking about what more or less I want for myself. I think it’s so important to constantly redefine and readjust your goals- not just at the start of the New Year. So this year, I’m going to try and reflect at the end of each quarter and readjust from […]

I swear, the moment you feel like you are finding a groove and keeping up (partially!) is the moment the universe decides to rock you! The last week or so has been a never ending game of pass the illness around in our household. We lived in a state of anticipation- waiting for the next […]

Listen, let’s start off by being completely honest here. We ALL have moments where we silently judge one another’s parenting. We’d all be lying to ourselves if we say we haven’t. It’s just the nature of who we are- anything that is unfamiliar to us (another type of parenting style) creates curiosity, comparison, and judgement. […]

My short little pep-talk this week is brought to you by a quote that I recently heard. In the past two weeks, I have jumped head first into a few new ventures, all on top of raising a family, my photography business, this blog, a YouTube channel, and…. well a few exciting things to come! […]

A while back, I shared my struggles with packing lunches for the kids. Most days, it feels nearly impossible to pack anything that’s not a freaking breakfast bar and strawberries.

When I reflect on some of our biggest challenges in parenting, one thing stands out the most to me: our own struggles with perfectionism. Phil and I both are perfectionist to a fault- Phil definitely worse than I. We both want things done a certain way and have a hard time when that doesn’t necessarily […]

I’ve decided to give you all a glimpse into my diary, aka my inner thoughts, once a week, maybe twice a week, maybe whenever the fuck I feel like it, okay? So here it is, Dear Diary… Taking care of four children is HARD most days. I love them to death and never thought this […]

I know so many amazing, empowering, inspiring, hands-down, kick-ass women. In a world of easy and accessible comparisons, (hello social media!), I think we often forget our strengths and how powerful we all are. And naturally, I feel the same way, so often. So when I thought about all of the amazing women around me, […]

For each of our babies, I have chosen to make our own purees at home. Of course, I always keep a few handy store bought pouches on hand for when we’re on the go or ran out before I can prep again. But for the most part, I try to homemake them myself. I like […]
