  • My FAV look from #nyfw - lol jk my flip flops are from Walmart and my jeans have a coffee stain on them (actually probably a few coffee stains, let's be honest) so I don’t know if they’d let me in. That baby with cereal puffs littered all over his stroller who has recently been practicing his singing skills (read as: screeching) probably wouldn’t help my case either. . . The truth is, I’ve done the NYFW thing before and the thought of it at this point in my life is just exhausting. Sometimes I wonder if I’m just getting boring and lame, but I know the truth is this is just the season of life I’m in. Right now we're in the season of home by bedtime, don't leave the house without an extra diaper (and snacks, wipes, and a change of clothes), sleep sacks, and sound machines. This season means we spend more time at home than we used to. It means I'm usually maxed out after 2 beers. I'm in bed by 10 (or 9 if I play my cards right). I buy my clothing on comfort and ease-of-wash over trends. It's most certainly not the most glamorous season of my life, but I have this sneaking suspicion it's going to be my favorite.I find myself constantly trying to hold onto it worried it's slipping away quicker than I can soak it in. Yesterday I let myself rock Miles to sleep -because sometimes you just need those baby snugs, you know?- and I found myself crying (tears of joy) as he slept snuggled into my neck. I remember the days I prayed for THIS EXACT moment of rocking my baby to sleep. And here it was, in reality, and I just wanted to hold onto it forever. How do you all handle being be present while also trying to commit the little moments to memory? . . #butfirstmiles #joyfulmotherhood #momlife #momlifeisthebestlife

  • It’s hard to believe that a year ago Miles was still in my belly. I remember how long we prayed for him to make our family complete, yet some days it just feels as if he’s always been here. I remember the day we took him home from the hospital, I told Michael, “I feel like I’ve known him forever.” And I guess I have. I mean, technically he has been a part of me since before I was even born. Anyways...don’t mind me getting emotional over here, we moved Miles to his big boy car seat today. It’s fine. I’m fine. #imnotfine

  • Moving is SO MUCH FUN (said no one ever.) #ad How many homes have you lived in? I've moved a lot, 8 times just since high school, 12 since I was born. I can guarantee you I was never as excited about it as it looks in this picture. It's safe to say, I am very pleased to be in a permanent home with no plans of moving anywhere on the horizon for many moons. But, all this moving has taught me some tricks and tips to make moving a LITTLE less stressful. Today on the blog I'm teaming up with @allstate to share 5 tips for a stress-free move!

  • What are your BEST hacks for keeping your children’s play areas organized? Toy Rotation is key for me - I only put out about 20% of Miles’ toys at a time and rotate in new toys every week or so. It makes the space less cluttered and keeps Miles interested in the toys. The other thing I always build in is functionality for mom, not just baby. I have a full diaper station in our downstairs play area - why have to lug all the way upstairs everytime there’s a wet diaper? I stock it with @Huggies new Special Delivery™ diapers now available at @Walmart. They are plant-based*, ultra soft diapers that are free of parabens, fragrance, and elemental-chlorine! They also come in a variety of adorable designs. Look for Huggies® Special Delivery™ endcaps in your local Walmart or click the link in my bio to learn more! *23% by weight #ad @SheSpeaksUp #HuggOn #huggies, #specialdelivery, #momlife, #dadlife, #perfectdiaper, #walmart, #plantbased
