I'm not going to lie to you, I've been less than inspired and slightly lost for words lately. Straight up, I couldn't find the word inspired when writing this. Between starting school again, a very rough sleep regression, and simply feeling inadequate as a wife and a mother, it's been hard to find the motivation … Continue reading a letter to me, on my worst day
the best things in life are three
12 whole weeks. 1 quarter of miss Lucia's life has flown right before our eyes. The most exhausting, stressful, rewarding, amazing months of my life for sure and let me tell you... a lot has happened. Motherhood is something I have wanted since I can remember; my first word was even baby. But let me … Continue reading the best things in life are three
Spring Fashion Favorites
This new mom bod is no laughing matter. Everything fits differently, even my underwear. And the weight I assumed would drop off from breastfeeding has yet to budge, so I'm stuck in the middle of not wanting to waste money on clothes I know will eventually not fit and live, sweaty, in leggings all summer. … Continue reading Spring Fashion Favorites
confessions of a sahm
"I woke up this morning to a hungry babe and an empty space where my husband sleeps. I pick her up and feed her, eyes half opened and wishing I could just go back to sleep.

The Marine Corps had a lot to offer me, but none of it included a family and I was okay … Continue reading This is me. This is us. This is you.
Mom: We Celebrate You
I've always been a good gift giver. I truly enjoy seeing people happy at my expense, so that makes it fun. My mom always liked homemade gifts when we were kids, but as I got older I thought she deserved a little more than a homemade card. It wasn't until I became a mom that … Continue reading Mom: We Celebrate You
Self Care as a New Mom
Some days are a lot harder than others. Some nights Lucia doesn't sleep.. such as the past two nights. This morning I actually found myself frustrated that she wouldn't go to sleep, which is silly because she's 2 months old and is awake for a reason. So I thought to myself, why am I feeling … Continue reading Self Care as a New Mom
Busy Mama Spring Cleaning
Before Lucia, I had all the time in the world to clean. I'm a weird one and I actually enjoy it too, so now that I don't have the time I use to have, I get this weird itch. Nesting helped a lot during pregnancy, I ended up purging half of my house. There was … Continue reading Busy Mama Spring Cleaning
