I've been meaning to write this post for, oh I don't know, eight months now. I came up with the idea almost immediately after Jameson was born and really wanted to put it together as a way to hopefully help some future mamas. But, you know, I got busy aka distracted. Life, amiright? Anyway, better [...]

Seven months of Jameson
Life with this little boy is absolute bliss. I guess that's how most mommies feel, but I'm secretly convinced that Alex and I got the best tiny bff out there. 🙂 Seven months is such a blast with Jameson! He is the silliest, sweetest, jolliest, and most fun little guy ever and I just feel [...]
What’s in my diaper bag
+ diaper bag: Ju-Ju Be B.F.F. + nursing cover: Covered Goods I thought I'd do this fun little post really quick for any moms-to-be out there who are wondering what exactly they'll actually need in their diaper bags (I used to way over-pack mine haha). Jameson is almost seven months now so I pack a [...]
Letter #9
January 19, 2016 Dear Jameson, Hi buddy! I just have to let you know that you are the coolest four-month-old I know. Being your mom is seriously the most fun I've ever had (and one time your dad and I went on a speed boat around the island of St. Lucia, went snorkeling off the [...]
Baby Registry Basics
So you're having a baby... Yay!!! Congratulations on bringing a brand new, adorable little squish into the world! Deciding what to buy/register for when you're pregnant with your first baby can be so overwhelming at the beginning. Recently a friend of mine (who's pregnant with her first baby, hooray!) asked me if I could share [...]
Three months of Jameson
As much as my heart aches that my baby is growing up before my eyes (at three months, he's no longer considered a "newborn"), there is absolutely nothing I love more than watching Jameson learn new things and discover the world around him. He is such a curious and engaged little boy. I joke that [...]
Jameson’s First Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving Weekend has come and gone already! I hope you all got to spend time with the people you love most, and I really hope you got to eat lots of yummy food. 😉 I sure did! And I've been eating leftovers ever since (pie for breakfast four days in a row? don't mind if [...]
Two months of Jameson
We're heading into month three of life with our tiny bff and I can honestly say that I'm even more obsessed with him now than I was even just a week ago! Sometimes I don't know what to do with myself because I just LOVE HIM SO MUCH! I kiss his chubby cheeks approximately six [...]
Things I wish I had known when I was pregnant
There's a pretty good amount of fear that comes along with a first pregnancy, no matter who you are or how calm you usually are about major life changes. For a Grade-A Worrier such as myself, that fear (of the unknown, of the what-if's, of the crap that people scared me about) was something I [...]
Jameson’s first holiday!
Growing up, we didn't ever celebrate Halloween. My parents, as Christians, never wanted to participate in something that celebrates darkness and evil. So as a kid I never dressed up, never went trick-or-treating, and never went to Halloween parties. Instead we usually hung out at home watching movies or hung out with friends who didn't [...]
