Leaving my little squishy to work 12 hour days all weekend is so hard 😭 He’s been so extra smiley and cuddly this week and I can’t even handle it - I want to eat him. I feel like I need to be better about my days off with him instead of spending them exhausted - what do you moms do with your little ones on your days off? Give me all the tips!!!
Our first project since baby and probably my favorite yet-taking our builder grade fireplace and turning into this beauty! Who missed a good DIY from us? I know I did! It’s for sure different doing projects with a baby around - it takes wayyyy longer for many reasons. I linked the full blog post on how we made over this fireplace in my bio and in stories 😍 Do you have any big home projects planned this year? http://liketk.it/2zltT #liketkit @liketoknow.it
31 weeks in and 31 weeks out. It’s incredible how my world has changed. Even at 31 weeks pregnant, during my incredible maternity shoot, I couldn’t have imagined how truly of a goddess I feel like now...with a 31 week old boy who has MADE me a goddess. My contour may not be as defined, my hair may not be as cared for, my wrinkles may be a little be more noticeable but we moms are goddesses, yes that’s what I’m saying. ✨ If your baby is 5 minutes or 50 years old, you’re a goddess mama. You made life, you brought innocence into this world, your heart literally doubled in size and most importantly you give your all to be the best mama that your baby needs. ✨ From one mama goddess to another, you’re so so incredible. ✨ http://liketk.it/2zfjc #liketkit @liketoknow.it
#tomanddom working on our latest project. 💙 I never could have dreamed of the person my husband became when Dominik was born. He is EVEN MORE supportive, loving, kind, hard working and sensitive. The way he talks to and looks at our son makes me fall in love with him all over again, every single time. 💙 As mamas and wives it can be easy to vent and share all the negatives. “He did this” or “he didn’t do this...” BUT WHAT ABOUT if we lift up our husbands for being amazing, and YES many/most husbands are amazing. What if we show our children what team work is by praising each other? 💙 So ladies, tag a hubby or a mama who needs to hear this. You’re a rockstar dad!

My little ALMOST 7 month old loves his milkies, he recently started to sign for milk - such a little smarty pants. But he’s so smart that he knows signing for milk will give him yummies so now he signs at the dinner table for more food too 🤣 Am I the only one who’s heart crushes at the thought of no more nursing? I don’t even want to think about that day and I sure am not looking forward to it - Our BF journey has been one to tell for sure...especially lately because Dom does yoga, aerobics, pulls my nose, blows bubbles, pinches me during feedings. Cutest, softest onesie is @cheerily.co ✨ http://liketk.it/2zb70 #liketkit @liketoknow.it Shop your screenshot of this pic with the LIKEtoKNOW.it app
Baby Lead Weaning AKA introducing solids and skipping purees has been one of the MOST FUN stages of babyhood so far. 🧀 We chose BLW because it fits our lives and our family motto. I wanted Dom to be independent, explore, eat everything and to learn family style eating. Did you know that it’s important to bring your baby to the table from the start? This is an entirely different way of bonding. 🧀 I have to admit, Tom and I never sat at the table for meals until BLW entered our lives. Now meal time is my favorite, we put our phones away, eat together but most importantly we talk about our day, we laugh, we watch Dominik giggle, learn to chew, swallow, hold a spoon, lick a spoon, throw food at the dog and much more. 🧀 ANNDDD The EVER SO popular request for this INCREDIBLE high chair. Because of @Nomihighchair we CAN sit at the table as a family. It’s easy to clean, move and SO easy on the eyes. It grows with the child all the way from infancy. I even put Dom in it, in the bathroom when I need a shower (because he outgrew his swing). He LOVES this chair; because this chair brings mommy and daddy together at a table and we all get to eat delicious food as a family. One day he will use this chair to do homework and okkkk now Im crying. Check my stories/highlights for a full on review and stay tuned for a future giveaway! #nomihighchair #nomifamily #blw #highchair
2019 the year instead of “losing” something, how about we GAIN things. This year I want to gain self love, experiences, an even stronger marital bond, the power to forgive, the strength to look past the things I cannot change, knowledge and anything else that will make me better, bigger and stronger. ✨ I challenge YOU AND MYSELF to be the person you want your child to be; LOVE YOURSELF, be kind to yourself, give yourself grace, learn to laugh at simple things, go outside, smile at funny faces, be kind to others, forgive more, hug harder, kiss better and surround yourself with the people and the things that make you glow. Happy New Year friends ✨ http://liketk.it/2z7lY #liketkit @liketoknow.it #ig_motherhood #smmakelifebeautiful #expectful
