Let’s Talk About: Spoiling Yourself as a Mom

When was the last time you bought something for yourself? If you are like me, you may not even remember. Most of my Target runs are for family or home related items. If I am given a gift card to a store I typically buy something for one of my children. That is just the kind of mom I am…. Read More

Let’s Talk About: Nursing in Public with Bravado Designs

As a first time mom I avoided nursing in public as much as possible. It was awkward and anxiety provoking to say the least. I would constantly try to maneuver my body in a position that wouldn’t expose me while one hand was trying to hold my baby and the other hand was trying to adjust the nursing cover, pull… Read More

Let’s Talk About: Family Fun Day

Sunday is typically our day of rest. We sleep in. My husband makes a lavish breakfast. We go to church. We may nap. We may swim. And we may do as little as possible. But every once in a while we plan a #familyfunday because it’s the only day of the entire week that no one has to work. So… Read More

Let’s Talk About: Secondary Infertility

I typically do not write personal blogs about my own life experiences and myself but since it is National Infertility Awareness Week, I couldn’t help but to use this space and this platform to bring awareness to this topic and share my own personal struggle.

Let’s Talk About: Why I love Freshly Picked Moccasins

As a mom, I love doing everything I can for my children. I love being needed by them and I love being their go to person. However, I am also a big believer in moderation and balance.

Let’s Talk About: HELP! I’m a Millennial Trapped with a Gen X Birthdate

I never really thought much about my generation until I saw this past season of Survivor on CBS: Millennials vs. Gen X. In this 33rd season of the show, they cast members from the two different generations. As I watched throughout the season, I found I had more in common with the Millennials than I did the Gen X’ers. Typically… Read More

Let’s Talk About: Premama

As a mom, breastfeeding is so important to me. My milk supply was low for my first child and I struggled to have enough milk to last through the first year. I wasn’t as educated in lactation support as I am now and didn’t know I had to be proactive on keeping my supply up. I naively thought since breastfeeding… Read More

Let’s Talk About: Ergobaby

As soon as the Ergobaby Four Position 360 Baby Carrier was released a few years ago, my daughter was around 8 months old. I couldn’t wait to have my hands on one. I had been secretly envious of my friends that had an Ergobaby and wanted one of my own. It was sold out everywhere at first but I finally bought mine… Read More

Let’s Talk About: Hooray Littles

When I first saw that this product existed, I knew I had to have one. My daughter loved to be swaddled just as much as her brother does and if this product existed back when she was an infant I would have wanted one then, too! Luckily, I found out about it while my son is still in the swaddle… Read More
