Coronavirus. And deployment. All at once. This is fun right? I was getting a little confident, thinking this deployment was almost over and I had done pretty well. Sure I moved home with my mom to have some help, but I had done holidays, an ER trip for the toddler, and had a baby all […]
Tuesday Morning Coffee: 3/17/20
Gooooooood morning! If you’ve been around here a while, you may remember that I used to do a post that was basically a virtual coffee date on Tuesday mornings. It was my take on something my gramma has been doing for years. Of course her version is in person rather than digital, but at the […]
I’m jealous of my deployed spouse
Deployments are hard for everyone involved, and sometimes leave me feeling jealous of my deployed husband!
What the heck is “mom style” anyways?
I love sharing what I’m wearing on Instagram. And I’ve been using #momstyle on a lot of pictures…but I just recently started to wonder what exactly counts as “mom style.” The thing is, I think it means something different to everyone…and that’s what makes it fun! That said, I’m working to share more outfits and […]
Second Time Mom Guilt
Oh mom guilt. I would guess the overwhelming majority of moms have felt it to some extent or another. And a lot of things get easier with the second baby. I’m more relaxed in general. She doesn’t seem quite as fragile. Going out in public doesn’t feel so anxiety inducing because I have some general […]

What is balance in a social media and blogging world?
If you read my previous post about my plans and goals for 2020, you know that I’m trying to prioritize balance and consistency. But what the heck does that really even mean? The thing is, I have a tendency to be an “all or nothing” type of person. I go into something with grand plans […]
2020 Vision
Ok I’m sorry for the title. It’s the first and last time I’ll use that joke. Probably. Anyways. Yesterday I shared a little recap of 2019, so today I want to share a little about my goals and plans for 2020. It’s going to be a crazy year So it starts off with baby month […]
Goodbye 2019
What a dang year. We had some really high highs and some really low lows. (Which is what everyone says right?) We celebrated three years of marriage, Oliver’s second birthday, and a new baby on the way. I roadtripped from TX to WA to TX and back to WA. All while pregnant. Worth it, but […]
