I go in and out of reading phases. Usually in the seasons where I am not reading at all, I am also struggling. Reading keeps me balanced. It reminds me of truth. It keeps me feeling connected. And it provides important narrative in my sometimes difficult and lonely days of raising littles. In the first…… Continue reading What I am Reading Right Now

Fall Activity Ideas for Little Ones
Happy second official day of fall! As I wrote in my last post, summer was so good that I have been in no rush to move onto all things pumpkins. This 80 degree weather we have been having this week is also making it hard to dream of sweaters + hot pumpkin lattes, but since…… Continue reading Fall Activity Ideas for Little Ones
2021 Summer Reflection
Somehow this summer went by in the blink of an eye. In a lot of ways I was expecting a slow, long summer since we didn’t have much going on, but it still seemed to fly by nonetheless. A year ago, I reflected on how hard, yet beautiful last summer was. You can read more…… Continue reading 2021 Summer Reflection
First Family Trip as 4: Palm Springs
This summer, we have been intentional about keeping it pretty low key since we basically still have a newborn baby (he is already almost 3 months!). While most of our summer days have looked like just hanging at home by the pool or watching dad surf at the beach, we did want to have a…… Continue reading First Family Trip as 4: Palm Springs
How I’m Feeling 8 Weeks Postpartum
Somehow it’s already been 8 weeks since baby Thatcher came into our lives. I wanted to press pause and take a little space on here to reflect on how I’m feeling at this 8 week mark. While I had not yet started this blog when I was 8 weeks postpartum with Hudson, I can tell…… Continue reading How I’m Feeling 8 Weeks Postpartum
Hudson’s Third Birthday: Shark-Themed Party
It is crazy that our little baby is already 3 years-old! His birthday was already a couple weeks ago and I still can’t believe I have a 3 year-old. There is something about this year’s birthday that got me feeling really emotional. At two, Hudson still felt like he was our baby, but now at…… Continue reading Hudson’s Third Birthday: Shark-Themed Party
Our First Week with Baby Thatcher
It is hard to believe we have already had one full week with our sweet boy. In so many ways these past 7 days have gone so much smoother than the first week with Hudson. While of course I am tired, my mind feels so much clearer than it did at the one week mark…… Continue reading Our First Week with Baby Thatcher
Final Days Before Welcoming Baby Thatcher
We are just about 5 days (or less) away from meeting our sweet baby boy! And we are so excited, thankful, and ready. I wanted to take the time to write down a few thoughts before this exciting day. I will first admit I struggled with writing a title for this post. It would be…… Continue reading Final Days Before Welcoming Baby Thatcher
Our Baby Sprinkle at the Beach
Last weekend, we celebrated baby Thatcher with a beautiful baby sprinkle at one of our favorite places…the beach! While life is beginning to feel a bit normal, we still wanted to be safe and have a really small outdoor celebration. The pandemic has really changed how we celebrate things, but in this case, having a…… Continue reading Our Baby Sprinkle at the Beach
Tot School: A-Z Bundle Curriculum
I have been SO busy creating curriculum over at Teaching Toddler Mama that I have not had time to create posts sharing about all the fun ABC learning we have been doing! I have missed writing on here as much, so my hope is that I will begin to have (a bit) more time to…… Continue reading Tot School: A-Z Bundle Curriculum
