Let’s have some real talk today. As Baby M approaches his 9 month birthday this Saturday, I’ve been reflecting on my new life as “mommy.” Motherhood is more rewarding and fulfilling than I ever imagined. On days where I’m exhausted from late nights or stressed from a busy week at work, nothing makes me feel…

National Stroller Running Day 2015
Short notice here—babies make for busy mommies!—but today I wanted to pop in and share a really cool event that’s coming up on Sunday, May 31: Stroller Running Day! I don’t know about you other moms, but in my early postpartum days, nothing felt better than getting outside for a stroll. Whether it was for…
Mother’s Day + Weekly Links
I feel like this quote says everything, so I won’t even try. //via// It’s been an incredible year since I got a taste of Mother’s Day a whole 12 months ago when I was pregnant with Baby M. Happy Mother’s Day to my mom, mother-in-law, Grannie, and Grandma M. And also to my own Gee…
My Breastfeeding Journey
It still shocks me that it’s been almost 7 months since we welcomed Baby M into the world. I actually wrote this post roughly a month ago, but I wanted to share an update—one I originally thought I’d never achieve: 6 months of (nearly) exclusive breastfeeding! Early in my pregnancy, I knew I wanted to breastfeed. While…
How I know I’m a mother…
Some days, it still doesn’t seem real that Baby M is my child—whom I created (well, with a little help from my husband), nurtured for 9 months, and birthed. Other times, I can’t imagine my life before he came into the world. Motherhood is unpredictable, wild, and frustrating at times, but it’s an absolutely exhilarating…
Body After Baby
Hi there, and happy Thursday! Time’s a-flying, I tell you. Now that I’ve been back to work a month, I figure it’s as good a time as any to talk about my “body after baby.” All in all, I feel pretty good, although I definitely get more tired during the day. I can’t wait for…
WIAW: Eating Habits While Breastfeeding
Returning to work and continuing to breastfeed hasn’t been easy (and I’m only 7 working days into it!). I’m still trying to figure out the best schedule (I currently nurse him once during the night around 2:30 AM, in the morning when he and I wake or after I’ve showered, and in the evenings on…
WIAW + A Day In the Life With a Newborn
Happy, happy hump day (although all the days run together to me at this point)! I knew I would have basically zero time for blogging once Baby M arrived, but I didn’t realize it would be this bad. Since I’ve been long absent, I thought I’d ease back in for What I Ate Wednesday with…
The First Week…
Good morning! It’s been a while. Little did I know last week that I’d be posting my last pregnancy update at 39 weeks. I plan on sharing my birth story (oh, it’s interesting enough), but before that, I’d like to introduce Baby M, born October 11 at 9:17 PM. The little guy weighed just 6…
