Meal planning is a necessary evil. I don’t enjoy meal planning. It is time-consuming, tedious, and stressful. I have tried many different methods to try to make it a less odious experience. At first, I just tried winging it every week. I figured that I had the creativity to come up with meals on the spot! …

Things are beginning to click in this new mom life. Last week, I left Gideon home with his Papa, and I went grocery shopping alone. As I puttered through the aisles, listening to my podcast, nonchalantly tossing cans of coconut milk and heads of lettuce into my shopping cart, I paused, smiled, and said to …
Free time has taken on a whole new meaning now that I am a mom. Before I had my baby boy, it didn’t matter if my phone took five minutes to load a website, my coffee took twenty minutes to make or I had to run a package to the Post Office. I had oodles of …

Gideon is napping on me, and I am hungry. One of the great conundrums in my life right now is this: Gideon is crying so I sit down to nurse him, and then he promptly falls asleep on me. If I stir, then he will wake up and be cranky, and it will take another …
It has been a bit quiet on the blogging front for the past few months. Mostly, because I spend my days playing, nursing, singing, and napping with this handsome dude. This past month, I tried really hard to figure out how to balance motherhood, house work, sleep and virtual assistant work. Achieving balance has been a lot harder than …
Baby boy is six weeks old! The last few weeks have gone by so fast! Gideon is such a blessing. He is honestly such a chill little dude. Even in the hospital, everyone remarked over how relaxed he was, and that has continued. He slept constantly for the first two weeks, only waking to eat, …
This baby boy has turned our lives upside down, in the best possible way. Gideon is six weeks in a few days, but it still feels like I’ve barely begun to figure out this new mama life! I went into this, thinking that I knew a lot about babies, but there have been so many things …
