Banana Cream Smoothie
Now that a new chapter has started in my life as a mother of three, I am changing up my habits, including breakfast. Out goes pancakes and eggs for breakfast and in comes smoothies again! Everything that I do now that Scarlet Reese is here is quick and easy. Smoothies have always been a favorite of the kids so they always get excited when I bring up making them. It’s so easy and quick to throw everything in the blender and blend away verses trying to worry about cooking four different things at once while keeping everyone from crying. Not only is it easy but it’s really healthy! We always…

Post Partum Feels
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…

Post partum Mom Outfit
Today, I’m going to tell you how glamorous postpartum is. JUST KIDDING! At the end of my pregnancy, I wore dresses every single day – not because I wanted to look put together but because the thought of wearing pants or shorts of any kind drove me crazy with discomfort, especially with temps close to 100 degrees each day. Now that the baby is here and I am back at home, I’ve gotten a lot of questions about what I am wearing. I am breastfeeding so what tops I wear really require ease of access. I recently made a trip to the GAP Factory outlet store while we were in Charleston and…

Scarlet Reese is HERE!
Hey y’all! I know it’s been a while since my last blog, but I am back! I finally had the sweetest baby girl that grew in my belly for 41 weeks! It was the longest pregnancy I’ve ever had, and in the scorching heat of this South Carolina summer, it surely felt like it. We lived in Charleston with my sister at her house with her three kids, her dog, our two dogs, our kids and my mom for the last month of my pregnancy. While I appreciated the support and help during the last few weeks of pregnancy, being away from home for that long was really intense. We…
