Someone walked in on me while I was pumping at work. Oh the horror! Even though my door was locked. And my curtain was pulled shut. (You can read about my pumping at work process here).

It's been one of those days. If you follow me on Instagram (and if you don't you should!) you know that my husband was super sick over the weekend. And then my mother-in-law came over to help me and she got sick too (bless her heart). I guess we have the plague at our house! So Sunday night was spent disinfecting the entire house and praying Hudson ... Read More

Kelly, from one of my favorite blogs, Kelly's Korner, always mentions that when raising little kids the days are long but the years are short. And man, ... Read More

****Praying for everyone in West, Texas and in Boston today. Holding my family extra tight.  My husband and I made the decision to make Hudson's baby food ourselves. It saves money, is good for baby, and is surprisingly easy! For some reason I was dreading this stage...I thought it would take so much time. I have been pleasantly surprised at ... Read More

When we first decorated Hudson's nursery gallery wall, I knew we would have to come up with a solution to secure everything to the wall in case little hands got curious and tried to pull everything down! When Hudson turned 7 months old it was finally time to do something about it. He isn't standing up yet but he probably will before I know ... Read More
