Let me start off by saying that this post is not to say that breastmilk is better than formula or push one way or another. I firmly believe that FED IS BEST. This is just to share my journey with breastfeeding and what worked for me. I knew before I was even pregnant I wanted to try and breastfeed, but I also told myself if I wasn’t able to then I wouldn’t allow it to stress me out (which I’m sure is easier said than done). I had dreamt of the bonding that you hear about while nursing (again, I’m…

For the past 18 years, my family has held a family reunion at Barothy Lodge. It’s a beautiful retreat with 15 cabins that you can rent in the middle of the woods, right on the Pere Marquette river. There aren’t any tv’s and you can barely get cell reception. I have family that comes in town from California, Florida, Texas, sometimes even Mexico and Canada to celebrate my Abuelitos (my Mom’s parents) wedding anniversary. It is the perfect long weekend and it is the place where 4 years ago, Anthony and I got married. We got engaged in April of…

Last week was Anthony’s birthday and I was having such a hard time thinking of something special to do for him. I wanted something that was relaxing but still fun and with the Coronavirus pandemic, my options were limited. After doing a little research, I decided to have an outdoor movie night! It is something that we can do when we host our friends in the future but also enjoy now while we’re spending our time at home. So I sent Anthony golfing and while he was gone, I set up. I am very thankful my siblings were there to…

Now, that my baby is almost NINE(?!) months old, I wanted to quickly share a few of the things we loved during the first six-ish months. These are things that I would definitely recommend you add to your baby registry because we used them all the time. I am also working on another post with things we’ve used as he’s grown older & some of the bigger items so be on the lookout for that next week! Here are some products, we found to be perfect for our baby boy… Halo Bassinest – This bassinet is the best. It changes…

First off…look at those pictures! Last weekend, we did a FaceTime photo session with Red Roots Photography. It was so much fun and I am obsessed with our pictures! It was so hard to pick which ones to share with you guys. These pictures will be the perfect reminder for when we look back at this time & remember these slow days that were filled with so much love. Going into my first Mother’s Day, I can’t help but to reflect on the past year. In January 2019, we found out we were expecting and it’s been a whirlwind ever…

Wow…I can’t believe I’m finally doing this. If you know me, you know that I’ve been talking about starting a blog for 3+ years (sorry about that, friends). Anyways, I am so excited for this new journey! I am hoping to share some things that I love while also letting you into my world. I would love for this to build a community of new friends and a safe place for everyone to come to talk about make-up, clothes, parenthood, and everything else we have going on. A little bit about me and my family…I have been married to my…
