    Valentine’s Day Activities and Crafts

    For Valentine’s Day this year, our kids are going to a party hosted by their grandparents for all of the cousins. In preparation for the party, we have been decorating cards and making valentine favors with dum dums for them to give out to their cousins. For the cards, I have been printing cards from…

    Making Mom Friends

    It can be harder to make friends when you have kids’ mealtimes and nap times to work around or school pickup and drop-off. With little kids it sometimes feels like all you can do is keep your head above the water, but I have found it important to have a community of moms. Not only…

  • Postpartum Depression

    Postpartum Depression

    I experienced postpartum depression with my second. With my first I had the normal 2/3 weeks of baby blues in the evenings but after that I felt mostly like myself (maybe a little more tired and stressed than normal but other than that I felt fine). But with my second I was having panic attacks,…

    My Favorite Instagram Accounts

    I try to limit my time spent on social media but there are a few accounts I like to follow on Instagram that I have found helpful. I love accounts that are both encouraging and inspiring that give a lot of good tips on things that apply to my current life stage with littles.

    Best Ways to Help a New Mom

    We just brought home our third child. She’s five days old now and it’s definitely already been a big adjustment trying to figure out life with three kiddos. Since I’m fresh in this stage, I thought I would share some of the things that I think are the most helpful to new moms.

    My Favorite Fiction Authors

    I love to read. Last year I read 100 books. This year my goal is 50 books. I figure with a newborn I won’t get quite as many books in. I read some nonfiction marriage and parenting books but my favorite is fiction. I use Goodreads to track my reading and also to update with…

    Zero Waste Switches

    I am taking steps to switch our household to reusable products for multiple reasons–so that our family will produce less trash but also because overall it ends up being cheaper to use reusable products than disposable. Below are some of the products I have switched to recently. None of these are hard changes to make…

    Favorite Non-toxic Cleaning Products

    I am taking baby steps in switching our household products over to cleaner and less toxic options. I use the app Think Dirty to see how each specific product “scores” and to see the breakdown of ingredients and which ones to avoid/limit. I love to use Grove.co occasionally for my household cleaning product orders. Target…
