SAHM Life: 7 Tips To Be More Happy + Productive Every Day

I remember spending my first couple months as a stay at home mom beyond exhausted, just trying to survive, one day at a time. Almost never taking the time to make myself presentable, daily showers were a thing I only dreamed of. Fast forward three years and I have fully embraced this job I can never clock out of, and all…

Hadley’s Nursery Reveal

Putting this nursery together was really a labor of love. In true #secondkidprobs fashion, I actually decorated this nursery for our first baby girl. As soon as we found out we were having another girl, our two year old got upgraded to a Big Girl Room and this room stayed almost exactly the same for…

Baby Registry Must Haves

Let's be honest. We are living in the future when it comes to baby products, especially compared to what our parents had for us. With there being so much out there, it can overwhelming. There seems to be a product for just about everything. As a mom to a three month old and almost three year old,…

Surviving the Beach with Babies and Toddlers

I'm on a serious post-vacation hangover over here! We had so much fun in Ocean City, Maryland. We had absolutely gorgeous weather with seven days of sunshine but you guys know it can be so exhausting with little ones. As a mom, your vacation becomes all about making sure your kids are having the time of their lives…

What’s (REALLY) In My Hospital Bag

With less than two months to go until my due date, I’ve been in full nesting mode. Checking things off my to do list everyday and loving it! I’ll be honest- making lists, checking them off and getting ish done is one of my favorite pastimes, hahaha! #hellonerd For anyone new around here, I'm currently 33 weeks…

What’s In My Toddler Diaper Bag

I get asked all the time what I keep in my diaper bag for daily outings. Even though my daughter is potty-trained so there aren't technically any diapers packed in there, I found some great staples that make going out with my toddler a lot easier. This covers all bases, from basic food and drink…

Time Out Is For Me, Not For Them

When it comes to disciplining toddlers, there is an overwhelming amount of information out there. Do this, not that, do this instead ...SHEW! For a first-time parent, it can be beyond overwhelming. I remember my parents coming over to visit when Harlow was just a couple days old. My mom asked my husband and I, "How do…

Harlow is TWO!

Two years ago today, I was in the hospital resting for the biggest task of my life. I had labored at home long and hard since noon the day before with contractions leading up to every two minutes. I was relieved to be at the hospital and grateful for my epidural. I honestly had a…

How I Potty Trained My 22-month-old in Two Days

It may sound crazy but I have no regrets. I potty trained our 22-month-old in one weekend, with zero accidents by day three. I am not a heath care professional nor am I an "expert" on this topic. I also don't want this to come off as some kind of gimmick I'm trying to sell you on. I'm…

Toddler Smoothies with Hidden Greens

As my baby girl is quickly approaching two, she has been pickier than ever about what she'll eat. I'll be honest, we had it pretty easy before. Up until about 15months she would eat pretty much whatever we gave her. Any fruit, veggie or meat she was served, she would devour! While she still loves fruit,…
