I thought it would be the perfect time to reflect on the last 12 years and what I've leaned from this space about myself, my business and more! THEN & NOW: My very first outfit photo in 2009 & a current photo: THEN & NOW: We were newlyweds when I started my blog and ...

Why We Shouldn’t Ignore Online Hate
I want to talk about something. It’s a topic I’ve wanted to blog about for a while, but I wrote a post some time ago and never hit publish because it just wasn’t the right time for me. I was in a place where my emotions were too raw and was still in the depths of my PPA. Interior design blogger Emily Henderson shared a blog post Monday that ...
Friday Five
I cannot start this post without expressing my tremendous gratitude for your comments, feedback and support in my last 30-day sugar challenge post.

I always want ...

Our Weekend…
Who thought losing an hour of sleep was a good idea? I think we can all agree, it sucks. Especially when you're a parent. Especially when you realize that your 5:20 AM pumping session is now a 4:20 AM pumping session. I guess I should go to bed now, huh? O N E So if the amount of likes on this IG photo are any indication (I was like, what's going ...
Weekend Wrap-Up
If I could use one word to describe the past week, it's "tired."

We are going through a bit of the four month sleep regression ...
