Easter has come and gone and even with Peeps, Cadbury Eggs and so much more surrounding me, I managed to make it through without cheating even once. I've been so proud of myself for the past 14 days, because I’ve really been committed to this challenge and it feels good to see that I can function without constantly eating sugar. This post ...

30-Day Sugar Challenge
(so sad I'm not local and couldn't join these pretty ladies for this shoot!) Deep breaths. I’m partnering with three of my fave bloggers this month (Jess from Happily Hughes, Laura from Walking in Memphis in High Heels and Heather from My Life Well Loved) for a 30-day sugar challenge so I can learn to reduce added sugar intake in my diet. I've ...
Lincoln is ONE! Safari-Themed First Birthday Party
Our sweet Lincoln is ONE! This year went by in a flash and his first birthday was extra-special because the day was a celebration of all he’s overcome in the last year. He has come such a long way--- he’s no longer in pain from his tummy issues, is eating a ton of foods and is stronger than ever and cruising all over the place and climbing stairs! ...
Weekend & Some Home Updates
Hi! I hope y'all had a great weekend! We had a busy week with my mom in town for Lincoln's birthday party and christening (posts on that to come soon!) The last week was full of changes--- Lincoln turned one, I incorporated dairy and soy back into my diet and I'm working on weaning from pumping (down to two sessions a day now). I have a lot ...
Preparing Food For Babies (For Daycare)
We didn't start Lincoln on solids until he was 7 months old and now, thankfully, he's eating like a champ! He's eating fruits, veggies, meats, Cheerios and eggs, so we've made a ton of progress. The infant room at our daycare doesn't provide food until babies are in the toddler rooms, so we've been packing a lunch and snacks for Lincoln daily. He ...
Our Weekend…
Well hey! I haven't done one of these posts forever. I was trying to focus more on style content since I was getting so much feedback that y'all missed those posts, but now I'm hearing that these little updates are missed, so I'll try to get back into the routine of posting these when I can! First things first, this adorable little babe will ...
Making Your Own Baby Food: Everything You Need to Know & My Favorite Products
This post is sponsored by buybuy BABY. I was compensated with a gift card. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Starting solids with Lincoln has been a totally different experience than it was with Harper. Due to his food intolerances and GI issues, we’ve had to introduce new foods slowly and carefully. I really enjoyed making Harper’s baby food ...
Lately…
Lately, I've been feeling stressed out about our home. Nothing is wrong--- but I just feel like we need to (majorly) purge. We got rid of a ton (and I mean a ton) of stuff before we moved, but we've lived here almost a year now and I still feel the need to refine our spaces and belongings even more. I went down the Amazon rabbit hole and found ...

Today I'm sharing a few sweet treats I've whipped up to celebrate the 4th of July.Cooking and working with food in general is not my forte, so I wanted to make some fun and ...
Family Traditions: Holiday Breakfast
One of my favorite things about having children is finding new ways to make special memories and traditions as a family. The holidays are a perfect time to try something new that can be enjoyed for years to come! One thing we're doing during the month of December is to have a special holiday breakfast once every weekend through Christmas. Harper ...
