A Boy’s Best Friend
photo credit: M Harris Studios If you were to knock on our front door, you would probably hear an impressively loud response from our canine security waiting on the other side. Our 115lb German Shepherd and 50lb pitbull mix are the perfect alpha/beta combination. And now our smallest cub has become their pack leader. When I became pregnant, a few were worried about how our fur babies would react, especially the shepherd. But for myself, not worried in the least bit. Was the dog really going to eat the baby Game of Thrones style? Pshhh getouttahere. I’ve heard of those horror stories, but I knew we wouldn’t be one of…
Blue Apron FTW
Cooking was once a fun activity for me. I loved taking time to find the best recipe, learning new techniques and flavors, and of course.. making it look pretty so I could photograph and IG it.

Mom Squad
All of these ladies are amazing on their own, but with their babies, they are superwomen. #momsquad A few years ago, at the age of 26, I was the first to get married out of all of my close friends, both near and far. And now I’m the first to have a baby. No matter how much googling I do, books I read, or blogs I scour, nothing beats having a personal connection with someone who is sharing the same motherhood experiences. I am so fortunate to have established friendships young women who are all amazing moms…some first-timers and some veterans to the game. Some are family friends, some are…
