If I had to count the number of pregnancy tests I’ve taken in the last year, you would be shocked. Getting pregnant with Myla came with such ease and unplanned, very happy and exciting, but nonetheless unplanned. That’s how it seems to be, right? You go so long desperately hoping for something and the moment…

2020, thank you….
2020, Thank you for all that you have taught me…. Wow, it’s been a long time since I have sat down to write a blog post. Over a year actually, but today, I was feeling inspired. 2020 did not come without its struggles, as most years tend to have, but 2020 seemed to have a…
To the stressed out mama….
Anybody else been stressed out to the max lately?! Recently there has been so much thrown on me that I forget to stop and take a breath. I get so overwhelmed and begin to shutdown. Mamas, we can not let ourselves get down! We have so much to be thankful for! We are doing our…
To my Loving Aunt Chris….
April 20th, 2019 was full of happiness and joy with the arrival of David and my first daughter. We had a hectic first few days and weren’t released until April 24th. Little did I know that I would get a phone call the next day with the worst news I have received. It was our…
To the breastfeeding, working mama….
I recently started back to work which means I get to experience the JOY of pumping! I say joy lightly. I hate my breast pump. It makes me feel defeated and useless. I’ve tried everything to increase my supply with my pump from emergency lactation cookies/brownies, power pumping, etc. I miss the days when I…

Pregnancy is something a lot of women talk about so when it comes to preparing and dealing with all things pregnancy I felt so prepared! One thing I was not prepared for was postpartum! I knew nothing about it, I was lost and clueless, left feeling helpless. For me, the “4th trimester” was by far…
To the ones in different phases of life….
I am 22, 4 years out of high school, and at the age that my HS classmates are in all different phases of life. Some are single, some are traveling the world, some are creating thriving careers, some are in serious relationships, some are married, and some have a kid, even 2 or 3 or…
To the mama who chooses to comfort nurse….
To the mama who chooses to comfort nurse, don’t let anyone make you feel bad for it. As new, breastfeeding moms you hear, “Don’t let your baby use you as a pacifier.” Or “Don’t comfort nurse!” Newborns LOVE the smell of their mama. They want to be held close, tight, and loved on. After all,…
To the one who may be missing out….
I recently heard the wise words of a child, “You’re missing out!” This was their response to an adult being on their phone and let me just say it hit home hard. Too many times we get caught up in the world around us that we forget to live in the present. We miss out…
To the mama who gets no sleep….
Have you ever heard the phrase, “If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is”? If not, I’m sure all of us can relate some story to this saying. For me it happened shortly after we left the hospital with Myla. Myla slept great, and hated being disturbed in her deep sleep. We…
