Thank you Walmart for sponsoring this post on a topic I'm passionate about! I became car-seat obsessed when I was pregnant with Harper. I had worked on a few news stories related to car seat safety at my day job as a public relations specialist at a children's hospital, and conversing with certified car seat techs made me realize that car seats ...

My All-Time Favorite & Must-Have Baby Products
Thank you Walmart for sponsoring this post! Though my children are now 6 and almost 4, I get asked quite a bit about favorite baby products. There are so many brands and items to choose from and every baby is different, so selecting the items that work best for your baby and lifestyle can feel overwhelming. I’m putting ...
Lincoln Grey at 20 Months
It’s been way too long since I shared an update about our sweet boy who is now an active, always-on-the-go toddler. He's just a few days out from being 20 months old and I can't quite believe he will be two this fall. Lincoln is busy, active and (sometimes) destructive -- all of my fellow boy moms tell me it’s par for the course (and that dumping ...
Lincoln’s Nursery Reveal! Gender Neutral Safari Nursery
View the full "In the Nursery" feature & my interview at ProjectNursery.com! When we moved into our (now not so new) home, I was about 8 months pregnant and finishing the nursery fell to the bottom of my priority list as we unpacked and settled in. I knew Lincoln would sleep in our room for the first few months anyway, so I put off finishing ...
Lately…
We had such an awesome family weekend! We celebrated Harper's birthday on Friday and mine today! I love having our birthdays so close together. Harper's birthday party is planned for next weekend since we didn't want to have it during Memorial Day weekend when a lot of families are out of town. I can't wait to see how her "donut party" comes ...
Lincoln Grey: Five Months Old!
Have you noticed I haven't been blogging much? That's because I can't. I'm so exhausted most nights that it's a struggle to even stay awake. The past month shall forever be remembered as the month of little sleep. Our poor little guy has been inconsistently napping and sleeping both day and night. We will get one good night and think we're at ...
Lincoln Grey: Four Months Old!
The fourth month of a baby's life is equal parts fun and frustrating. They're finally learning, discovering and developing more but it's also four weeks of the dreaded sleep regression, which is not a myth (even Harper who was a total unicorn baby went through it). At the same time, Lincoln is just such a smiley and sweet baby, how can I be ...
Our Weekend…
Happy Sunday! I'm feeling a little under the weather and I'm trying to drink lots of hot tea and taking Tylenol for my sinus pain. I feel like I got sick pretty quickly after returning to work the last time around, so, par for the course. I guess it's time to dig out my Neti-pot, huh? Things I loved this weekend... A happy mail day I love ...
Nursing & Pumping Favorites
Over the past couple of months, I've learned that the saying "every baby is different" couldn't be more true. I struggled a lot to nurse Harper and ultimately it was the best decision for us both for me to exclusively pump. It was faster, more efficient and she preferred bottles because her latch was never great. We were both happy! This time ...
Our Weekend + Halloween!
I guess having a newborn makes you exhausted enough to sleep through even the most intense storms, because Friday night I squeezed in every bit of shut-eye I could between feedings, all while a massive storm passed through our city. Our street flooded twice Saturday, but thankfully both times the water receded. It was all the way up to nearly the ...
