It's been a while! I actually have about 4 unpublished blog posts that I just never fully finished. Then I had a second baby and walked through 3 months of straight hell with that so ya..nothing was going up for a while. Remember my first post about my postpartum depression after Liam? Well times that … Continue reading We are IN IT.

**In my home, we celebrate Christmas so the holiday I will refer to in this post is Christmas. If you celebrate a different holiday, just replace Christmas with whatever you celebrate People go HAM around the holidays! (Lol, get it?) I used to be that person. Until last year, I wanted to give and recieve … Continue reading Keeping it minimal through the Holidays

Making room for joy in the midst of motherhood: Why my kid isn’t getting a birthday party.
Meet Liam Daniel. People are floored when we tell them that we are not doing a first birthday party for him. They think we're A-hole parents who don't want to celebrate their kid. Wrong. We celebrate him every single day. We spend more time engaging with him than many parents do- The truth is that … Continue reading Making room for joy in the midst of motherhood: Why my kid isn’t getting a birthday party.
So you wanna be cool like me, but don’t know where to start- getting started with minimalism
I am naturally a messy person. I am CLEAN (toilets are cleaned numerous times a week, my hands are washed a million times a day, bedding washed regularly, baseboards are wiped down frequently), but messy. Funny story: When my little sister, Kristy, and I were little, we shared a room. It was basically always a … Continue reading So you wanna be cool like me, but don’t know where to start- getting started with minimalism

Mama, you’re not alone! And I’ve learned that neither am I.
I know I said this blog (let's just call it was it is) wasn't going to be all about postpartum depression, but the response I got to my first post was almost overwhelming. SO MANY WOMEN have gone through similar, if not the same, experience I'm going through now. So I wanted to take a … Continue reading Mama, you’re not alone! And I’ve learned that neither am I.
Clearing our house cleared our minds.
A baby with an ear infection is like having a newborn all over again except he isn't nearly as snuggly...he's squirmy and cranky and almost impossible to calm down between the hours of 8pm and 2am. We're so tired! Thankfully last night was a big improvement so here I am to word vomit all about … Continue reading Clearing our house cleared our minds.
