Happy Easter! If you are new around here, two things you should know about me: I love Easter + I love a good reflection. Hence, reflecting on Easter just feels like a must. I think last Easter, I was too pregnant to fully reflect. I did reflect on Easter 2020 here. Re-reading this reflection, I…… Continue reading Easter 2022 Reflection

Our First Family Ski Trip: Mammoth, CA
The first time I ever went skiing was in December 2016. It was before kids and the first winter post-collegiate running. On this particular trip, I had a meltdown moment on the top of the mountain. This was literally my first time ever skiing and at the time we could not afford lessons for ourselves.…… Continue reading Our First Family Ski Trip: Mammoth, CA
2021 Reflection + Staying Present in 2022
It is hard to believe we are already at the end of the year. In the last couple days before the new year, I always love taking some time to reflect on the past year and look ahead to the new one.

Things I am Learning 6-Months Postpartum as a Second Time Mom
I wanted to take a little space on here to reflect on the first 6 months with sweet Thatcher. It is amazing that 3 years ago I wrote a post reflecting on the first 6 months of motherhood. The first 6 months with Hudson were entirely different compared to our first months with Thatcher. As…… Continue reading Things I am Learning 6-Months Postpartum as a Second Time Mom

A year ago, I reflected on how hard, yet beautiful last summer was. You can read more…… Continue reading 2021 Summer Reflection

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
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
Final Marathon Monday…For Now.
3/16- MANY WEEKS Until Boston. Well, a sure lot has changed in a week. Last Monday as I typed up my weekly recap, I remembered feeling concerned with a cancellation, but still confident that there would be enough time for the virus to be contained and for the race to still happen. I also was…… Continue reading Final Marathon Monday…For Now.
