We made it, guys! 1 whole year of momming under my belt, a lifetime to go. I can’t believe how fast this first year has flown by. I absolutely adore watching her grow and learn and seeing her personality come out, but I’m also sad that she’s just going to keep growing. I’ve really started to appreciate every day with her more and more, because I know that all too soon she’s going to be too “cool” to hang out with me haha! Milestones The biggest milest ..read more

I make 3 meals a day at home, and I spend a decent amount of time baking too! There’s a good chance you’ll find cookies or muffins on our counter most days! So being in the kitchen so much, of course I prefer items that make cooking and baking that much easier! Kitchenaid Stand Mixer – This is one of my favorite kitchen tools, because for the price you get something really versatile! It’s great for mi ..read more

I knew months before I gave birth that I wanted to babywear, mostly because it seemed like a great way to be able to get stuff done around the house while bonding with baby! I ended up wearing her a LOT. I would wear her at Target, on walks around the neighborhood, I’d even wear her when she was fighting a nap! I’d just have to bounce a little and she would sleep for literally hours. It was glorious. At first I only had one kind of carrier, the wrap st ..read more

I don’t know if that’s exactly the saying, but man is it true. I can’t believe Kelsi is closer to being a toddler than a baby now! Time is a thief, but I am also so excited about my girl acting more and more like a little person! She has the most adorable little personality, and is curious about everything around her! We’re definitely going to have to get more baby gates to help contain her, especially b ..read more

This has seriously been the fastest 6 months of my life, I don’t even want to think about how fast 1 year is going to get here. I truly cannot say how lucky I am to have Kelsi, she has made being a mom so much better than I ever could have imagined!

How has it already been four months with our sweet girl?! The fourth trimester is no joke, but we survived and dare I say, thrived! Life looks a lot different these days, and even though some days are hard, I don’t remember the hard days as much as I remember the good times! I’m soaking it all up, getting to know my baby, and giving myself LOTS of grace. Housework has taken a backseat because all I want to do is play and cuddle with my babe so that’s w ..read more

September 17th, 9:22 AM, the day we got to meet our baby girl, was not what we were expecting but it was so meant to be. It’s hard to believe I spent all of 2019 with her in my belly. Looking back, it’s such a blur, but I am so happy we got to spend an extra 2.5 weeks with her! My first moments with Kelsi Rose. So let’s go back to September 11th. I was scheduled for an ultrasound because at my appointment 2 weeks earlier, I was measuring small. Justin had taken off to go to this appointment with me because he missed our anatomy scan, so he hadn’t seen her in months. During this ultrasound, we ..read more
