Sometimes Motherhood Feels Like Sheet

sometimes-motherhood-feels-like-sheet

Well, not the girls’ luxurious sheets from Linens and Hutch. We LOVE their duvets and sheets. I swear they make them with a little liquid velvet. The materials feel so good against your skin. And I think the girls would agree. They’ve loved playing in their beds together…having tea parties, pretend sleepovers, just rolling around and being silly, covering up and trying to scare the other one…or us! And they’ve officially slept one night in the same room together! They may have both woken up a 2:30 in the morning, and then had to be…

Identity Crisis?

identity-crisis

In the past 4 years, I feel like I’ve found my true identity and lost it all at the same time. Being still relatively new in the motherhood game, things are constantly shifting. Each day is different. Each day brings new emotions, tantrums, trials, and triumphs. Some days I’m not sure what’s up or what’s down.Hallen was such “the perfect baby,” that I felt like a supermom, a super friend, and super fit. I could conquer all. But, since moving to the Charlotte area, having a miscarriage immediately, getting pregnant with Hazel right away, while…

Motherhood in Yoga Pants

motherhood-in-yoga-pants

I haven’t been doing yoga very long. I meet some people who have been doing yoga for 10, 15, or 20 years, and I am so impressed when I hear that. I’ve been doing it on and off for the past four years. Sometimes being a mom has put my schedule on hold or something comes up that I need to do instead of going to my yoga class. So, I definitely wouldn’t consider myself a yogi or even someone who is particularly great at yoga. I just happen to have a little bit of flexibility, and…

Messy Motherhood

messy-motherhood

Don’t you love a cozy sweatshirt and finding a favorite tee? If you live in the PNW or are from there ( I’m not, and still love these 😜), I’ve found some really fun designs for you! Rainy State Threads is a small shop (you know how I love small shops)! And living in comfortable, cozy clothes is my life right now. Most of you young mamas are probably in the same stage as me. You want to be put together, but you need to be comfortable and really don’t have that much time to put into your…

Where Do I Fit In To All of This?

where-do-i-fit-in-to-all-of-this

Kind of tagging along to my last blog post about the price of motherhood…the next question in my head is, “where do I fit in to all of this in the grand scheme of things.” Who am I now? How can I find the old me in my new identity. I think we all agreed that once you cross the line of going into motherhood, there’s no backing out of it. You’re there forever. So, how do you hold on to a little of that carefree attitude you once embraced? Or how do you remove yourself from…

The Price of Your Motherhood

the-price-of-your-motherhood

What were you like before you had a child or started trying to get pregnant? I can distinctly remember being fun, flirty, and outgoing. I didn’t know what anxiety was like. My mom had told me she had struggled with anxiety some, and I literally didn’t even know what it was. I thought I did, because I felt nervous before big tests or had a knot in my stomach if someone was upset with me (and that still happens). Was that anxiety? Maybe slightly, but nothing like I’ve experienced since having children. I just recently started reading…

Must Haves for Baby

must-haves-for-baby

I’d like to think I kind of knew what someone needed for a baby once you welcome them into the world. Now that I’ve had two, I have a grasp on what’s necessary and what you an do without for at least the first 6 months.  The first thing is a complete nursery. no need to have it completed! Even though, I HAD to have both nurseries completed before the girls came home. It’s just a fun part of nesting and preparing yourself for this new little human being that’ll be taking up space in…

Keepsake Animal – Stitches By Natalie

keepsake-animal-stitched-by-natalie

There are so many memories from when our precious babes are so tiny. I always wished I could bottle up those first few weeks. Everything was a learning experience. It’s pure exhaustion, and yet so tender and beautiful all at the same time. Growing  the tiniest love and then giving birth to it just takes living to a whole new level.  No matter how tired you are once that little baby comes home, those newborn days fly by even if in the moment it seems as if they’re standing still. Before you know it, they’re walking and…
