Hanging Out in the “Flamingo Room”

This post was supposed to go live on Tuesday but #momlife. I had the best intentions set out for this day and they were completely flipped upside down when I went to take Nolan to school. Locked my keys in my house and had all the kids in the car with no way to get back in or go anywhere. A few other things happened and I cried for a few hours but alas, everything is taking a turn for the better. The struggle…

Breastfeeding Style With Bravado Designs
Nursing cami | leggings | Scarlet Reese’s Outfit* | Wall Hanging | Blanket Finding tops that are breastfeeding friendly can be difficult. I find so many cute clothes that I want to wear but just can’t because it’s not something that I can breastfeed in. I often hear from other breastfeeding moms that they have the same issue. For this reason, I like to take the time to post outfits that are something that I wear in my day to day life and find brands that help along the breastfeeding journey. Enter Bravado Designs. After having Nolan and Harper, I stuck to sports bras and just pulled my Victoria Secret bras…

Why Beautycounter? Because we deserve better!
I started using Beautycounter almost three years ago when one of my friends started talking to me about the products. I’ve tried lots of “natural” and “organic” brands since changing my lifestyle and they never met my standards. Organic doesn’t always mean safe. Lead, mercury, arsenic. You can have a tube of organic lipstick, that doesn’t mean there isn’t lead in it. After downloading the “Healthy Living” app, I found out that the reason why was because those products that were labeled as safe and non toxic were the exact opposite. I encourage you to download the app for yourself, start plugging in your beauty products and see what exactly…

Staying in the moment
Anyone get FOMO? It’s something that I struggle with. Social media has a way of making it worse. Scrolling someone’s feed and seeing their beautiful vacation pictures, perfect homes and brand new cars. Comparing your life to theirs and wondering why you don’t “have it all.” I read a quote that says “comparison is the thief of joy,” and it couldn’t be more true. I have days where I get so angry that my life isn’t as picture perfect as others. It’s so easy to get into a negative headspace when you are comparing your journey to someone else’s. That sentence really puts it into perspective doesn’t it? Your journey…

Peace of Mind thanks to the Playtex® Ventaire™ bottle
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and a date night with my husband is on my mind. Our children will be with my sister as she has so graciously offered to babysit for us to have some alone time. Date nights have become something that Derrek and I plan once a week so that we can have some one on one time to reconnect. Now that we are outnumbered by our children, this has become a number one priority to keep our relationship healthy. When Nolan and Harper were both infants, getting away was really hard for me to do because neither of them would take a bottle. I…
