I have flown with Harlow a few times now (plus one road trip) and have picked up a few tips along the way that helped keep our sanity. Note: these are travel tips for one child. I am sure once you throw 2 or more in to the mix, everything is different. So for now, … More Traveling + Flying with a Child
When you are pregnant with your first child, everybody asks if you are scared for the delivery. I always wanted to say, “Yes dipshit, I am scared shitless to push a human out of my vagina, but what can you do?” People tell you every horror story of delivery, how awful theirs was, etc., etc. … More Recovery List After Child Birth
Like my maternity photo shoot post, I am sharing some of Harlow’s newborn photo shoot, albeit 16 months later. It is actually fun to write this post and look back at how tiny she was and how much she has changed since those newborn days. Harlow was about 4 or 5 days old in these … More Harlow’s Newborn Photos
A few of my friends have kids around the same age as Harlow and sleep is a topic we are constantly talking about. When Harlow was about 4 months old and I had just gone back to work, she was waking up 4-5 times a night. It was a total nightmare and I was literally … More Night Time Routine
I wanted to share some of our maternity photos, even though Harlow is 16 months old. Never too late, right?

To … More Harlow’s 1st Birthday

It’s not like your wedding registry where you already live with your significant other and actually do have silverware, pots, pans & towels and your registry is just a mish mosh of random crap you don’t actually need. With first time parenthood, you really do need a snot … More Baby Shower Gifts

Will you co-sleep or have your baby in a crib/bassinet? If your answer does not fall in line with that particular person’s perspective of what they think is … More Judgment
When I found out I was pregnant, I went in to crazy research mode. I found every book and blog on the matter and made it my business to know every single thing about everything possible. In hindsight, it was a bit of overkill really. However, I have now become the go to gal with … More First Trimester Pregnancy Must Haves
I swore I would never get a fake tree, not under any circumstances. Well, that theory went out the window, as do most, once you have a baby. Harlow is on the verge of crawling and that girl just loves to put anything and everything in her mouth. With that being said, I decided that … More Decorating the Christmas Tree
