I left the house today for the first time in a week…by myself and it was amazing. After having a c-section for the second time(and realizing that I am not in fact wonder woman) I have spent the majority of my newborn’s life literally in a holding pattern. Not able to drive, not able to lift anything heavier […]

I shaved my legs for the first time today. I also showered and brushed my teeth before 5pm. No one will see these things, and they are for no one’s benefit, but for 20 minutes today I wanted to feel normal. Because early mom life is anything but normal. Erinn and I have had our […]

As I’ve written about in a previous post, I am a big believer in traveling sans kids every once in awhile to maintain your sanity, your identity, and your relationship. So when hubby and I found out we were pregnant with baby #2, one of the first things we talked about was when to schedule […]

With the 7 week countdown on at this point, my fashion sense has become nothing more than a leggings/stretchy clothes uniform(check out my go-to faves below), so needless to say, this post will not be about my latest style obsession. What has been an “obsession” of mine as I approach the end of this pregnancy is making […]
