Baby blues or postpartum depression isn’t something people talk about often. Maybe it’s the shame of admitting that you’re not okay and you’re not constantly over the moon over your newborn while you see other parents post picture after picture of their new wrinkly small baby.
Read MoreClearly I’ve been slacking with my monthly updates of Madelyn seeing how she’s turning 7 months NEXT WEEK. Ack! I seriously have such respect for parents. I don’t know how parents work, meal plan, grocery shop, cook, wash the dishes, clean the house, spend time with their spouse, and keep a tiny human alive.
Read MoreMy favorite season is upon us! I love fall. The crisp air, light jackets, changing leaves, pumpkin and apple cinnamon everything, football. We just finished a family stroll this morning, made some pumpkin pancakes topped with apple butter, and currently typing this with a fall candle burning in the background. A perfect start to the morning if you ask me!
Read MoreMaddy's neck and back control has been getting a little better recently so we got her a chair so she could join us at the dinner table and at the kitchen whenever we cook. It's nice because it's easily portable and just hooks onto the edge of the table so we can use it when we go out to eat as well! Currently on average, our squirmy little girl can sit still in that chair for about 10-15 minutes before getting antsy which means mama has had a little more time to cook and bake recently!
Read MoreThis past month has honestly been a blur. I went back to work beginning of July, we celebrated Maddy's 100 days, went to LA to celebrate a good friend's wedding, went through one of Maddy's sleep regressions, started sleep training her, and then ZAP she turned 4 months this past weekend!
Read MoreThis post is a bit delayed but still wanted to write about our weekend getaway over July 4th weekend! Danny and I live for weekend getaways. We always look for places where we can go to quickly to be away from the busyness of the city and to be present in nature.
Read MoreAmazon Prime Day is 2 days away! Before you shop, find a great way to save!
Read MoreThese past couple of months have felt long but have also zoomed by in the blink of an eye. I can’t believe I’m already heading back to work! I have such respect for all working moms out there whether you're full time or part time. How in the world do you stay awake let alone actually DO work?!
Read MoreRice krispies were one of my favorite treats growing up. I always felt like one little rectangle in its blue foil wrapper was never quite enough and would always have to go back for more. So nostalgic whenever I eat these.
Read MoreNot going to lie, I thought we were being a bit overambitious to want to travel with our 8-week-old baby.
Read MoreMaddy turned 2 months the other day! The days are long but the months are short (sort of). I can’t believe we’ve kept a tiny human alive for 2 months now. This post has been long overdue but you know...tiny humans demand a lot of your attention.
Read MoreThe days are long, but time really does fly.
Madelyn is 1 month today! We've kept a little human alive for 1 month, guys!
Our body is such an amazing thing. Isn't it crazy that it knows to produce milk and that milk would come flowing out at the sound of a baby's cry?
Read MoreMy mind was set on a natural delivery from the get-go. I didn't want to be induced nor did I want an epidural. If you ask why, I feel like there are a bajillion reasons I could give you.
Read MoreI have a daughter. Who would have thought? Me, a dad.
Read MoreI alternate between this loaf and a lemon poppy seed loaf (which I'll post about later) and I must say, both are pretty bomb.
Read MoreIf I'm honest, these past couple of weeks (or months?) have been rough. There have been more days where I've wept rather than celebrated this new life that is forming.
Read MoreOne thing I've been struggling with during pregnancy is washing the dishes. I know, I know, it may seem like such a petty/minute thing for some of you guys but the struggle is real when the baby bump is growing bigger and bigger!
Read MoreMaybe I'm the only one who struggles with this and maybe all the other husbands have it figured out, but how do you support your wife during pregnancy?
Read MoreWe’ve entered into week 38 and Danny's excitement is radiating throughout the whole house.
