Comparison is the Thief of Joy
dress | sunnies | shoes | lipstick Looking through these pictures makes me miss my baby bump more than anything! The last few weeks of pregnancy can be so hard on you physically and mentally, it’s almost impossible not to wish for the end. I find myself missing my big round belly every day. Especially now that I’m in the fourth trimester and I am recovering with a deflated tummy. Harper asks me every day if I have another baby in there and it really takes a toll on my self confidence. Y’all know I’ve tried to keep it real and that’s why I am sharing that about being insecure.…

Meals Made Easy By 212 Meals
Words cannot express my extreme gratitude for everyone that has brought us food after Mercy was born. I’ve seen such a large out pour of kindness during this time. It has really blown me away at how attentive our friends and family have been and I couldn’t be more grateful. We really haven’t had to cook much in the past 11 days and I am relieved because I’m not supposed to be up and moving around that much. Last week, I received a message from the owner of 212 Meals and it had me in tears. They wanted to gift us a week of food to enjoy. I honestly…

Self Care: New Mom Style
Happy Tuesday ya’ll! I am focused on writing a blog EVERYDAY because it has given me so much joy after baby Mercy joined us Earthside. I will have her birth story written by the weekend so please keep your eye out for that. I would say that I write these at 3am feedings but this is the FIRST baby out of my four that sleeps through the night. Y’all… I don’t even know what to do with myself. Today we all woke up at 8:30 and it shocked me because we had to be out the door by 9! (I am always late and I blame… KIDS ;)) Life has…

Simple Post Partum
jumpsuit – sold out (same style in different color) | shoes | cuff | clutch | sunnies | lipstick – Lily Hey y’all! I am so happy to share this post with y’all. This is my first “outfit” blog after I had Mercy! Sheeeewww, I didn’t think I’d see the day where I would wear regular clothes again but I am so stoked that the day is here. Although I miss my belly and wearing dresses to style the bump, jumpsuits have been on my mind for several months. I have been taking it easy at home for over a week and just living in comfy pjs. Let me say…

Placenta Encapsulation For the Win
Now that the third trimester has finally ended, welcome to the fourth trimester! This one is all about mommy. Alongside dealing with body issues like post partum bleeding, cramping, sore and engorged boobs, you also have to worry abut maintaining your sanity. The next few months are crucial as a new or once again mom because they set the tone for YOU. When I first had Nolan, I had no idea about natural ways to fight post partum depression and remember nights/early mornings up with a crying baby wondering how was I ever going to do it. Thankfully as the months went by, I chose (and still continue to do…
