Here you’ll find everything family related! We have parenting tips, fun family activities, pregnancy advice, real-life motherhood, and more!
One of my favorite things about blogging is all of the fun experiences it has provided for me and my family! Last summer we were invited to a Durham Bulls baseball game and participated in breaking a world record. I also got to go on a blogger trip to Fayetteville North Carolina, (in a legit party bus)! The list could…
I often hear so many stories about mothers getting discouraged when it comes to breastfeeding. There are also numerous articles talking about how difficult it is. As if there aren’t enough articles telling pregnant women and mothers to be afraid and unconfident. While breastfeeding isn’t exactly as Ali Wong described her expectations, “I thought it was supposed to be this…
This past weekend, Joel and I took the kids out for a fun day in Raleigh North Carolina. We had a fun (and loud) family breakfast at ihop, or as Brayden calls it, “ihock“. I decided to make a short family vlog out of it! We went to the North Carolina Museum of Natural Science in downtown Raleigh, then had…
At almost 26 years old, I finally decided to start being a real adult. Joel and I looked at our monthly spending habits and were shocked! We couldn’t believe how much money we were spending on food, (and Starbucks). We were spending $200+ on groceries every week, while also eating out. Our Starbucks consumption was also a daily habit. With…
The day finally came. A day I have been dreading for quite some time. I knew it would happen soon, especially now that Brayden is in school and has a few friends. Brady was invited to his first birthday party outside of the family! I hesitated on attending but it was his best school friend’s party. I kind of had…
Once upon a time I thought I figured parenting out! After learning to adjust after an unplanned pregnancy at 19 years-old, I finally felt I was an experienced parent… Yeah, let’s take a moment to laugh at my naive past self. She was not being the brightest crayon in the box! Brayden was such an easy baby and was finally…
If you read my previous post on what to pack for your baby’s hospital bag then you know I’m all about the no-nonsense checklists. You barely need anything for your little one. Mom, on the other hand, needs a lot more. Let’s be real, maternity care in the U.S. kinda blows. Once you pop that baby out, sure you get…
If you’re a first-time mom let me ease your already stressed out mind. You really don’t need much in your baby’s hospital bag, if anything at all. Yup! You heard me right. All of those hospital checklists on Pinterest are just a lot of extra work for you to do and honestly, your last few weeks of being baby free…
My number one resolution for 2019 is to be a better and more present mother. I checked my son’s iPad usage and YIKES! To be perfectly honest, I’m afraid to check my phone use habits. I am a blogger so it makes sense for me to be on my phone at times throughout the day, but I know I use it far…
Hey there, I’m so glad you’ve dropped by! Being a stay-at-home mom can feel pretty lonely at times, am I right?! While I love my kiddos, I needed something for myself. Something that I enjoyed and that gave me the ability to connect with other awesome ladies. The blogging world has been, (often times a headache), but mostly a lifesaver…
