Nolan’s First Day of School with FabKids
This blog has been compensated by FabKids and I received these products in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. Read my disclaimer page for more information. I cannot believe that my first born starts kindergarten this year! Watching him prepare to begin school, it feels like Nolan has grown overnight from a newborn to this independent four-year-old. Like so many experiences in motherhood, this, too, is bittersweet. I am so excited to see him go to school, but at the same time, I’m a little sad that he won’t be in the house all day. When FabKids reached out about collaborating on a look for his first…

Little blue dress.
dress | shoes (similar) | bangles I am all about leggings and over sized shirts during the fourth trimester. There’s nothing better than being comfortable while your body is healing and you have a newborn to take care of. On the off chances you need to dress nicer than your typical mom uniform, I’ve got you covered!

Sunday Funday at Carolina Roadhouse
This past weekend, Scarlet Reese turned two weeks old! It’s hard to believe that it has been two weeks she since entered our lives, we love life with her!

Before we had kids, Derrek and I used to go there on dates and now as a family, we…

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…
