Today I'm sharing some new mommy advice over on one of my favorite blogs, The Vintage Apple. Michelle is such a sweetheart and has become such a great friend. Now that we are both new mommies it is so great to have someone to share this crazy experience with! I think it is SO important that moms build each other up and support one another. I would ...

Are you sick of me posting about my boobs? I hope not. My hope is that these posts will help someone who needs some encouragement in the breastfeeding/being a new mom category. I know I sure did...and still do from time to time.  If you are new to my blog...welcome! Please feel free to email me at any time with questions (my email is ... Read More

Did you know I used to be a cheerleader? Yep. Four years in high school and one year in college. Some of my favorite high school memories were made in cheer. My very first year as a cheerleader I met one of the sweetest, most genuine girls ever.....Erin from a bit of pop. (Nice bangs ladies....good thing we now know better!)What I ... Read More

The other day my mom called me and told me to check out Pottery Barn's new catalog. I cheerfully obliged.  When I opened it up to the very first page, something familiar caught my eye. Here let me show you...... Oh that's right! Pottery Barn is using the exact same Hudsonville wire milk crates that I put in Hudson's nursery ... Read More

Today I'm linking up with Katie and Stephanie for Saw it, Pinned it, Did it! Between the holidays, being sick, a sick baby, and being a working mom it's been hard to find time to make any Pinterest crafts...but I'm so glad I did this one! It's super easy and looks great on our chalkboard. Will you be mine???? Source: etsy.com via ... Read More

It's tough work and sometimes we just need to hear that we are not alone. If you have questions or are struggling, please do not hesitate to email me at ANY ... Read More

There is noting quite like watching your husband become a daddy. Every time he kisses Hudson's little cheek my heart just melts. I mention my husband a lot on this little blog, but mostly he prefers to stay behind the scenes. But he is my biggest blog supporter....often proofing posts for me and providing feedback. Lately he's been encouraging me ... Read More

When you are mommy you have to forget the term "sick day". It doesn't exist. Long gone are those days where you can just lounge around if you aren't feeling good. I have had a cold for the last few days and it is not fun. Colds plus 4:00 a.m. wake up calls with the little guy do not mix well. Luckily I'm finally feeling better thanks to some ... Read More

When I was pregnant with Hudson I had a lot of worries and anxiety about breastfeeding. Would it work? How would I know if he was getting enough? Would it hurt? How often would I have to feed him? The list went on and on. Part of my anxiety was due to the fact that it seemed like everywhere I went new moms were telling me how hard it was to ... Read More

If you follow me on Instagram (@girlintheredshoes) you might have seen this photo. Poop up the back....happens too many times to count in my house! Baby clothes shouldn't come in white, that's for sure.  On a similar note, mommies probably shouldn't wear white either...luckily this outfit made it out of the house unharmed. (I love how ...
