My mom is visiting from Toronto right now and she met Harper for the first time last Saturday. It’s so nice having my mom around to help with the baby and to have company during the week while Kevin is at work.
My mom has also been cooking some of my favorite meals for me which has been awesome. She even swiffered my floors today and helped me organize Harper’s closet. It’s been really nice spending time with my own mom now that I’m a mom too.
Here are a few snapshots from our week so far:
Hanging out on the balcony…
Grandma’s swaddle
Evening cuddles…
Bath time
My mom’s made-from-scratch chicken noodle soup with the “cloud noodles” I loved growing up
Hello!
Going for an evening stroll…
Walking around our neighborhood
Tummy time
More snuggles
Fun in the nursery
Holding Harper in her Woombie (amazing invention!)
Most days I’m wearing tees and PJ or yoga pants, but my mom and I left the house a couple of times so I actually wore “real clothes.” Both pairs of shorts are from J.Crew.
Wishing everyone a great week!

How fun! It's great that your mom can be there to support you. Time and time again I hear from new moms how helpful it is to have their mom there during the first couple weeks
Christina says
These pictures made me smile. Your mom looks like she is over the moon, and one day Harper will look at these pictures and smile. So sweet. P.S. Your mom is gorgeous like you!

The extra company and set of hands is always nice to have!
I loved nothing more than seeing my mom become a grandma. Even though we were close before – it has brought us even closer together.

Such great pics! Moms are the best! Will your mom be helping when you go go back to work too?
Andee Layne says
grandmas are the BEST! I think after you become a mom you appreciate your own that much more. Glad you're feeling great hun xo

I agree with Andee. My mom and I were always very close but I understand her so much more since becoming a mom myself last August. It's amazing to have mom around especially the early days. My mom in town and she was over everyday for the first two weeks, cleaning, cooking me traditional persian food, help me bathe Sofia and watching her while I napped.
Parents are such blessing truly.
Yali says
Your mother is beautiful, do you mind me asking what brand of stroller are you using?
Amy says
Your mother and you look great! Harper looks so happy and cute. When my MIL was here, she made chicken soup also. We also have the Puj tub and we love it!
Beautygirl24 says
So sweet 🙂 Now I see where you get your beauty from! Your mom is adorable, V!

My mom was always a lifesaver with each of my boys. She would send me to take a nap and I'd wake up to a spotless house… always appreciated more than words can express.
Darling moments you've captured on film. 😉

I can totally relate to the joy and encouragement you're experiencing as someone is helping you out with Harper! Your mom seems to be doing an amazing job with you girls and I'm sure that having her around makes your soul feel "full". 😀 I think it's important to have that support esp. after birth because of our hormonal and emotional shifts. And that woombie item is sooo cool! I need one of those because I'm terrible at swaddling–it's not as easy as it looks!
Chic and Cliché says
Your baby just looks unbelievably cute! 🙂

You have such a beautiful family!
I am wondering, though–what are cloud noodles? That soup looks delicious.

@erin—they are noodles made of eggs and flour I will post the recipe some day 🙂
ajw says
Veronika, are you Polish by any chance? 🙂
Chelsea Mac says
Ohmygoodness, we lived and died by the woombie 🙂 Happy to see that you've discovered its awesomeness. And Harper is gorgeous!
