Guess what?! We’re going to Disney World again…and this time, it will be all four of us and we can't wait! I realized that I never really blogged our last Walt Disney World trip other than sharing a few photos, so I thought it would be fun to reflect back on it and share some highlights as we look forward to this next trip.

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 ...
5 Tips for Reducing Your Anxiety Today with Dr. Allison Answers
After the overwhelming response on my postpartum anxiety blog post, I decided that I wanted my blog to be a place of support and also a resource for other women going though the same thing.

I always want ...

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 ...
Fitness Update + Getting Personal
This poster hangs in the personal training gym where I work out and the moment I saw it, I knew I was in the right place. Before we had kids, Kevin and I would often do boot camp classes five days a week--- we were in the best shape of our lives! I was also working out with a personal trainer before becoming pregnant with Harper. The moment I saw ...
The Best Podcasts + How They Decrease Stress
Remember that episode of Friends where Chandler wanted to work in advertising and kept listing off slogans for different things like "Cheese. It's milk that you chew," or "Pants. like shorts, but longer?" I think we can all agree that Chandler's slogans were lacking (even if they made us laugh) and today I'm sharing my equally awful new slogan: ...
