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.

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.

Bringing Positivity Back into your Social Media Life
With social media as strong as it is these days, we tend to get lost in it. I often times find myself comparing my life, in many different ways, to the highlight reels of other's lives. But you have to remember that that is exactly what it is... it's their highlight reel. Most of those … Continue reading Bringing Positivity Back into your Social Media Life
