playing make believe with my two little ones

A few weeks ago I shared about my journey with mom-burnout. How I couldn’t describe what it was I was experiencing until someone put a name to it, and how I was desperate to make changes. Well, it’s been a few weeks and honestly, changing your life is hard. I’ve had so many false starts […]

Etiquette for visiting a new Mama

This one is going to be personal and honestly, I’m putting myself in a pretty vulnerable place to share, but I feel like this needs to be talked about more because I believe I’m not the only one out there feeling it. Mom burnout. In the last few months, life has beaten me down and […]

Last week, this sweet family welcomed their fourth child, and first little girl.

Teeny tiny babies just fill my heart. I can so vividly remember the moment both of my children were placed on my chest and I thought I was going to burst with love. It overwhelmed me how much I could adore this tiny little baby, despite what it had just put me through. Newborn sessions […]
