The most asked question when I started talking about gift guides was “What do I get for my in-laws??” Well I’m here to save the day! Basically anything fir the home is a good go to, but the more personal the better. Think of what they like to do. Do they entertain? Do they love music? Or are they cozy and would ablanket or matching slippers be better? Here is the direct link to this LIKEtoKNOW.it post where I share ALL of my recommendations. http://liketk.it/2Hm4u You can shop the post without downloading the app. When that box comes up telling you to get the app, just click the x in…

Comfort in the Now & Hope in the Future
Okay, so I write this 5 months ago when I was freshly postpartum with high hormones and really not feeling good. I intentionally wrote this and didn’t share it right then so that you can see that everyone struggles. Even I struggle. I wanted to share my thoughts then and now with you. So read on to read what I wish WASN’T true but totally is true about postpartum. I’m going to sound like I’m complaining right now, but just keep reading. Also, I promise it has a good ending. Let’s be honest, mom life is not easy. No one ever said it would be though. Everyone said it would…

This space is like my sacred space and I looked through so many living room decor ideas to get here. I don’t mean that in the way that most would take it – that it’s always clean or it’s pristine or it’s always peaceful. I mean that this is where my life happens. The living room is where we spend most of our time, so it’s almost always a little messy. There are dishes on the coffee table, there are graham cracker crumbs on the floor. Our Couch Choice But we didn’t let that keep us from decorating it exactly like we wanted to. Now let’s be honest, we all…

How to Find & Meet Motivation Half Way
Hi, my name is Motivation, nice to meet you! Todays blog is all about teaching you how to GET IT GIRL or at least sharing what works for me! So many times my fellow bloggers/retailers and I share share successes and struggles with each other and push each other by saying “GET IT GIRL” and that is a lovely sentiment, but what can you do when you’re not feeling it? What can you do when you’re “getting” absolutely nothing out of the work you’re putting in? Let me start by giving you a quote that sticks with me like glue on days I’m not feeling it. “You won’t become successful…

Breastfeeding Tips: Tips for New Moms
As a new mom, breastfeeding tips is one of the things that I think is massively lacking. I get texts from so many new moms asking me “what if baby isn’t latching”, “how do I know if baby is getting enough”, “why is baby eating constantly?” Breastfeeding Tips for the First Week On day one, baby is extremely sleepy. Yes, they’ll be sleepy for two weeks or even two months after being born, but that first day after birth is extra sleepy. Birth is exhausting for them too. Don’t expect baby to eat too much on the first day, but you should try to get baby latched as often as…
