Summer is coming to a close, but I’m determined to keep the fun going. Bean’s calendar is more impressive than mine these days! I’m excited to get a play date invitation because it’s time for me to chat with another Mom (I could do that ALL day) and a chance for Bean to get some…

The Stroller Run
No way it’s been a month…right? My bad…Bean’s side eye is always ready for me when I’m slacking! A few weeks ago, I teamed up with The Stroller Run to get the word out about the fun run taking place at the National Harbor. The Stroller Run holds races all over the U.S. that benefit…
Year One Lessons
I can’t believe we have a 1 year old…it’s surreal even while typing this. We have a vibrant, increasingly independent, giggling, sprinting, climbing, toddler on our hands. He’s grown so much…and so have we as parents. Here are some of my year one lessons! Ask for help. I’m still working on this. It takes a…
Splashing into Summer
Bean had his first pool experience and while I was excited, there was also a bit of anxiety I felt. I love being in the water and I want Bean to also enjoy water activities, so it was really important to me for his first experience to be a great one! I called on a…
Stage 5 Clinger
Around 10 months, Bean began showing signs of separation anxiety aka stranger danger to the extent that we hit Stage 5 Clinger levels! Sure, it felt good to have him snuggle and hold on to me, but of course the downside is I can’t be with him ALL the time. Whether it was putting him…
Spring Cleaning…
Well well well, I guess Spring finally decided to show up…although this weather feels more like summer. While most people are knee deep in spring cleaning their home, I’ve been cleaning up my diet. Why? I’ve been pretty transparent about my struggle with my skin since my pregnancy, especially with eczema. When I saw…
9 months…already
Where did the time go…Bean has been here for 9 months (9.5 actually)! I can barely remember what life was like without him…except that I got more sleep! Who needs sleep when I get to witness him grow each and every day?! So what’s new with our 9 month-old? Well, he’s has 4 teeth and…
Postpartum Hair Loss?
While I was pregnant, I saw so much about postpartum hair loss and constantly asked myself, “Why has no one talked about this before?” Then I thought that maybe it wouldn’t happen to me. Well, guess what? It happened to me.
Month 4 and 5
Hello….is this thing on?! It’s been a couple months…possibly the busiest couple of months since Bean’s arrival. We’re officially in our first home! We ended a two year lease at the end of August…only we were still in the home-buying process. Fortunately we have great friends that took new career opportunities in New York and…
Sleep Regression
Around 13 weeks, our family moved…and I prepared myself to lose some sleep as Bean transitioned. Surprisingly, his sleep schedule stayed the same. It was a week into our move when I noticed a change in his sleep habits. Bean has very strong legs. We have a rocking bassinet (thanks to some of Bean’s awesome…
