It’s obvious that when you become a mother, your entire life changes. It’s a drastic new experience, full of ups and downs, learning, growth, and basically a completely new life. For people like me, sometimes the journey there can be the hardest part (if you want to know what I’m talking about, read my infertility post here). But no matter your journey there, motherhood changes you a lot. You start to do things differently, look at the world differently, and just become different as a person. I know that when I first had my baby, I changed a lot. I acted […]

We all know that pregnancy alters our bodies quite a bit (and that’s an understatement!). I mean, we carry and grow a little bean into a bigger bean for 9 months, give birth to it, and stretch our bodies in ways we never knew we could. I always say that those stretch marks I received in my pregnancies were, ‘earning my stripes’ of motherhood. And yes, I do believe that they are truly beautiful. But thankfully, all the extra unattractive weight gain and discomfort that comes along with having a baby doesn’t last forever, even if it feels like it! A lot […]

I usually write posts about mom life (like potty training jokes, flying diapers), my journey as a mother, sleepless nights, and my babies latest and greatest shenanigans (and trust me, I’ve got plenty more to share!).

You usually see me make little comments about my goofy husband here and there, poking fun at him, but today, I want to talk to you a little bit more in depth about him, and husbands, fathers, brothers, and the men in our lives in general. Something that you don’t […]

Whether you’re a new parent or parent pro, you know how exhausting, difficult, and stressful everyday life can be. Not only do you have to ensure your little beans are taken care of at all hours of the day (and no diapers have been flung across the room… again), but you also have to balance a life outside of your family that is based around work, friends, and relationships. Believe me when I say that having a household with a toddler, a newborn, and of course, the (needy) husband, is exhausting! Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love being a mom. […]

I think all of us baby-obsessed mama’s can agree that motherhood is the most beautiful, exciting, and incredible blessing a woman could receive. Not only the journey of getting pregnant or The incredible 9 month pregnancy, Or even giving birth, But the actual opportunity of raising, teaching, and caring for your own little baby. But of course, as with anything, motherhood is definitely a huge learning process with a lot of ups and downs. I only ever see mommy bloggers talking about only the good parts of motherhood and all the happy moments, but I never see anybody talk about the struggles, […]
