I'm just about 2.5 months postpartum and finally got a chance to round up 10 self-care products that have been essential to have at home during the first few weeks after having a baby! Take a look at some of my postpartum favorites below!

I love this firework craft that I shared last year on Instagram so much that I want to reshare it here. It is such a fun and simple 4th of July activity that kids of all ages will love! Given the Coronavirus hoarding, I know you all have plenty of toilet paper rolls stashed around your house; here's the perfect way to use them this July! We used ...
Cheers to kicking off July 4th celebrations with this easy and delish Red, White & Blue treat! Bonus: these Fourth of July frozen yogurt popsicles are healthy enough to eat any time of the day - so go ahead and be the fun mom that gives your kids dessert for breakfast 😉. Harper and Ethan love mixing up different flavor combinations of these pops all summer long! ...
I can't believe Josie is already a month old and I want to make sure I jot down her birth story because it already feels like time is flying and those early details are getting foggy! This is a lengthy post, but this blog space is somewhere that I've looked forward to using as a place to save all of these little details for myself to look back ...
Eeek, it's baby week! Harper and Ethan were both born at 39 weeks exactly, so every little twinge at this point puts me into "OMG, IS IT TIME??" mode. I'm caught between wanting it to happen righthissecond so I can finally squeeze them in my arms and wanting to infinitely pause time and hold on to these last moments of pregnancy for as long as I can. And ...
As soon as the second line appeared on my pregnancy test, I foolishly thought to myself, third time around, I've got this 🙌🏻 Let me tell you though, they're right when they say every pregnancy is different. This one just so happened to take a little bit of the "bad" from each of my previous pregnancies and put it all together for one last hurrah. Name a ...
I never thought I'd overhear my kids talking to each other about how the Easter Bunny might not be allowed to leave the house this year to deliver baskets, but I was pleasantly surprised that they were okay with it because "everyone" is staying at home right now. Welcome to Easter, pandemic-style. Here's how I still made our Easter at home egg-stra special for my kids. This year held ...
As an allergy family, we usually avoid having real eggs in the house, meaning we have to get extra creative around Easter time. Making pretty paper Easter eggs with paint-covered marbles is a fun alternative to traditional egg decorating- or just a fun art project leading up to Easter. It's such a simple craft that it's perfect for toddlers all the way up to school-aged children! I ...
After a long winter, as soon as my kids finally hear that it is "SPRING!", they have visions of flowers and gardening and sunny bike rides. Welp, not quite yet, guys. If your weather is anything like ours, Spring brings it's fair share of rainy and dreary days before finally brightening up. So while we wait on brighter days ahead, I came up with this Spring Garden ...
Germs! They're everywhere, especially when you have young children. As the Coronavirus continues to spread, I find myself trying to explain what exactly is going on to my kids. Why school is closed, why I am constantly reminding them to wash their hands/keep their fingers off their face/cover their mouth/insert all the other gross things preschoolers do. I have found some fantastic resources, such as this one put ...
Holy moly, this just got really real, really fast. The governor just shared the unprecedented order that each and every school in our entire STATE would be closed for 3+ weeks due to COVID-19 mitigation. If you're in the position of staying at home with your young kids while they're on this Coronavirus "extended spring break" - as our district called it- you may be feeling a ...
One of the main reasons I wanted to start this blog was to have somewhere that I could document more of the kids growing up. So here we are in February and I'm making my first pregnancy post... clearly this is going exactly as planned 🤣Early on, I was excited for this pregnancy to span the holidays (yum!), but the truth is I think all the festivities made ...
