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. As much as I wanted to avoid the hot meal and needing to cook/prep anything, I succumbed to it. I found myself joining the “cooking […]

The happiest of birthdays to our Phil-ip! I’m keeping this one short because I rant and rave about him all year as it is. But happy, happy birthday to our… To my partner through it all. Thank you for doing all of the mundane tasks that I do not want to do- the dishes, the […]

When I reflect on some of our biggest challenges in parenting, one thing stands out the most to me: our own struggles with perfectionism.

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 […]

Business advertising has taken a turn since social media- goodbye highway billboards! Social media is the ultimate source for advertising your business. For me, this past year I have really dedicated a ton of my time to building a larger presence on social media. In my line of work, in order for my business to […]

All the time, I hear other Moms telling me that they are inspired by my work. How they would love to start a business of their own that would give them the flexibility to raise their babies. The number one thing that stops them: not knowing what to do. So, today, I’m hitting you with […]
