Happy New Year! 2018. Wow. That sounds so strange, since, in my mind at least, 2001 was just a few years ago. 2018 is a new year, full of possibilities and promise. As most of us do, I am shedding off the past year, and trying to set new goals for this one. This year …
My little family recently had a photo shoot hoping to get that perfect shot for our Christmas cards. I found a gem of a photographer in Megan Hitchens Photography. She has an incredible eye, and I love her esthetic. A big plus is that she also has small children, so she understands that kids are …
The occasions are rare that I am jealous of my 2 year old. This Summer, several of my sundresses that I wore all last summer, suddenly had become too short. They could’ve shrunk in the dryer, I may have gained a few units, I mean pounds…*wink wink. All I know is that when I tried …

It can be really tough to keep any sort of social life when you have kids, whether you stay at home or not. It’s super easy to get stuck …
Hair Breakage No, this isn’t a self-help psychological post. This is far more shallow, but important nonetheless. I’m talking about broken hair. We’ve all had times where our hair hasn’t felt its best. My hair is known to look like a cat has been chewing on it. I have salon clients express concern over the …
My Postpartum Purgatory is officially over! I have mixed emotions about it, but I’m completely done with breastfeeding and pumping. For the last year and a half, I’ve been banned from so many of the maintenance services that I relied on before. But now I’m free!!! (Don’t worry, there were some tears and doubts about …
