This post is brought to you by Qalo and The Motherhood. All opinions are my own. Throughout the last several years since I first became a mom, there have been tons of amazing and innovative products that have come along for both moms and babies that we have come to love and that have made our (sometimes chaotic) lifestyle a little bit easier. I suppose the fact that I have ... Read More
Lilah’s Birth Story
Up until the day that I delivered Lilah Grace, the births of my children had been rather uneventful. I mean they were eventful, of course, but they were pretty textbook, and to be honest, almost easy. Lilah's delivery was a little more dramatic though. As many of you know, I went past my due date (May 3rd) this time around, and as much as I was savoring every moment of this ... Read More
32 Week “Bumpdate”
I'm trying really hard to be better about these "bumpdates", if for nothing else, so that I have something to look back on when I want to remember all of the fun (and not so fun details) of this pregnancy. I have officially hit 32 weeks, which means that I have 7 or so weeks to go (give or take). It actually seems kind of surreal that we are this close already. My previous ... Read More
5 Ways to Treat a Diaper Rash Fast
I have to admit, that up until recently, we've been pretty lucky in terms of diaper rashes. None of my kids have every really had a bad one... until now. I'm about 99% sure that we can chalk it up to teething, because Theo (who started teething late) has been cutting several teeth over the last few months, but when it first started, he got a really bad diaper rash. ...

Four Just Feels Right
{maternity dresses c/o Pink Blush} Surprise! That's basically exactly how I felt, the day that I sent Max off to Kindergarten and we discovered the big news. That morning, I breathed a sigh of relief and immediately thought, "I've totally got this now." After having three kids at home with me for the last (almost) year and half, having two at home felt like it should be ... Read More
Teething Favorites
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 ***This post contains affiliate links. If you have kids, you know that teething is SO hard. It's one of those things that is heartbreaking to watch your baby go through as a parent. It's awful when you know that your child is in pain, but you feel so helpless. All of my babies have gotten their teeth a little later in the game. Theo is ten months old, ... Read More
When Your Baby Just Won't Sleep…
Maybe I was spoiled with my first two kids. Max and Ella were great sleepers from the day we brought each of them home from the hospital. I actually remember thinking at one point, that Ella might be sleeping too much. We would put her in her bassinet, and she would snooze for hours on end, day or night. When Theo was born in early April, I was bold enough to ... Read More
Ella Rose Is One Month Old
I remember when I was pregnant with Max, how I used to shrug off comments like, "Enjoy every moment, it goes by so fast," or "before you know it, he'll be graduating from high school, and heading off to college." At the time, those words of wisdom weren't really relevant to me, seeing as my child was still growing in my belly, and 9 months seemed to be taking forever to pass ... Read More
My Baby… Plus One
I've been experiencing a fair amount of anxiety lately. I can't seem to escape the frantic to-do list in my head, of things that MUST be done before baby #2 arrives. Time is ticking, and with a presumable 4-5 weeks to go, give or take, I can't help but feel a little doubtful that I actually can, and will, accomplish it all. It dawned on me the other day, that the time I ... Read More
