Looking back on those newborn stages, I wouldn’t change a thing. But I would change the thoughts in my head - the mom guilt that runs wild and consumes us. I share a few things I wish I would have realized…

As I mentioned last week, there are some changes happening over here on my blog and in my life in general.
First, I’m so excited to share that we will be welcoming another addition to the family next June! EEEK! Right now this time is filled with such emotion (and I’m already such an emotional person). I’m so anxious and excited for what’s to come, while also savoring my time with just little Dylan because it’s been so fleeting. Time goes so fast!

WOW. That's about the only word I can think of to describe my first year with Dylan. I think I say this just about every post, but how has time flown so quickly!? How is it almost fall again, wasn't it just winter? And um, how is my daughter ONE?!
I have a confession. Feeding my baby so far in her 9 months of life has come with its own set of mom guilt and anxiety.
Don't get me wrong. I love food, think about food nonstop, and I'm so excited for our little eater to experience really great good. But, ever since Dylan was a newborn, I've always been worried about doing it the right way…

If you like fitness and a good cup of coffee, then today's post is for you!...
I've always been a morning person. It’s the time of day I prefer to workout or run. It’s when I feel my best because I’m not weighed down by the long day. But, it was always so rushed. I was spending much of my morning at the gym, only to have time to run home, shower and race out the door to work with a mug of coffee in my hand. I actually knew that I was spiraling into a frenzy and would be burnt out by it all soon enough. I mean, you can't keep that up 7 days a week forever! But it was how I’d always been. I think it started with an active youth and then playing 4 varsity sports in high school, I was always on the move.
Well something happened last year that sloooowed me down... like, way down.
A baby happened.

We are just starting to feed Dylan solid foods. It's baby steps. Started with avocado for a few days, then sweet potato, and now just tried squash. She makes a confused look at her first bite of a new food. Like, so confused. Even cringes. But then eats it up with excitement...

I don't know exactly when I knew I was ready to have a child. Chad and I, even before we were engaged, knew we wanted one some day - talking about baby names on our nightly walks.

Do you like Oreos? As a kid (who am I kidding, and still today), I was always a "filling" person. I prefer the double or "mega" stuffed Oreos (yes, mega stuffed is a thing) so that the icing to chocolate cookie ratio is probably 3-1. No thin Oreos for me.
