Alright, here me out. I swear I’m not some sicko who’s gone off the deep end. When getting a facial at MUD the other day I noticed that one of their add ons is breast milk. While I wasn’t quite ready to dive right in and use some strangers breast milk to lather up my… Continue reading Breast Milk Cleanser

Waylen: 4 months
Waylen is growing up faster than ever! He is now 15lbs. 15 oz. and 24 1/4 in. long and is giving me some serious arm muscle. He has started to actually enjoy tummy time more and is basically a pro at rolling over from tummy to back. He will go through phases of either constantly… Continue reading Waylen: 4 months
Postpartum Friendly Swimwear
With the weather warming up it is just about time to whip out those swim suits! This can cause anxiety for many, especially new moms. Stretch marks, loose skin, rounder bellies, or even just that linea nigra that just won't go away, there are countless things that could make a new mom reluctant to strip… Continue reading Postpartum Friendly Swimwear
Waylen: 3 Months
My little bean is rapidly becoming not so little anymore. I mean people always say they grow up so fast but geez, I never realized how fast it really goes! No check up for Waylen this month so I'm not sure of his exact weight. I would estimate it is around 15 lbs. though. He… Continue reading Waylen: 3 Months

Waylen: 2 Months
How is it possible that my little bean is already 2 months old (and that I'm already over half way through my maternity leave?!?!!) Waylen is weighing in at a whopping 13 lbs. 3.5 oz and is 22.5 inches long. He's really starting to smile for real now (not just when he farts ha) and… Continue reading Waylen: 2 Months
Favorite Spring Trend: Embroidery
Stripes, bell sleeves, blushes, lace-up shirts, velvet... there are seriously SO many different fun styles that are big for spring this year. My favorite by far though is embroidery! I'm not sure if it's because embroidery pulls at the strings of my inner hippy or not but I am hands down obsessed! Below I've put… Continue reading Favorite Spring Trend: Embroidery

So far these last few weeks I have just stuck to walking but now I'm ready to amp up my routine.
