Magic Kingdom with a Two year old
We had a week at disney! It was so much fun watching him there. Aside from the 24 hour bug where Tuck threw up on me, himself, and into my diaper bag. I called a teledoctor two times, and brought him into a clinic. Gosh that was a day… But he was quickly back to […]
a breastfeeding story // second time around
{photo by jessica lorren} Nursing the first time around hurt like hell. After a long traumatizing birth, it was the last thing I wanted to work on right away. I think it can be especially hard that first time around, even if you had no tongue or latch issues, because you are learning so much […]

I would be so lucky if I just turned into my mother, even just a little bit, I’ll take what I can get. She is the worlds most beautiful human – in all ways. Her birthday falls usually a day before or after, and sometimes on Mother’s Day. God gave her an appropriate birthday. I […]
Wesley James: a birth story
Water was broken, bags were packed, off to the hospital! Wesley was due on April 9th. That day we had spent the morning with my mom, and then I headed to my doctors appointment while she watched Tuck. I picked up my number one pregnancy craving (a blueberry kale salad) on the way to the […]
Tuck Says / Spam
Tuck is at such a fun age. They are all fun in their own ways but this one seems to be super hilarious to me. Though we are not without our challenges. Our current challenge with Tuck is having to carry him out of the park/party/the bounce house/soccer class, fighting mad because he never wants […]
wannabe green thumb: our fiddle leaf fig trees
Most of the time when I post a photo of our home I usually get questions about our fiddle leaf fig trees. Is it real? yes. how do you keep them alive? In short, I mostly ignore them. But here’s the long version … For the little one… that came from Ikea. We were […]
Beautiful Naples, Florida
Down in Naples for one of JB’s meetings for his work (you can see past ones: (here (amelia island) / here (st. pete) / here (key largo)). Two year old Tuck is in his prime at these things. He makes fast friends and that pretty much includes any kid who looks his way. He danced every night away, […]

motherhood
{their swim trunks // tucks shirt } Motherhood is constantly taking me by surprise. Showing me layers of who I am or who I’m meant to be. For one, I would never think I was going to be the disciplinarian in the house, but I am. Maybe that’s the role you have to take on […]
When Tuck Met Wesley
{my pjs // tucks big brother scrubs monogrammed by tinebowtique} Yesterday was truly the best day of mine and JB’s life. Wesley was born at 1:10am on April 10th – a birth story I can’t wait to write about. I never thought I’d be one of those people who really loved birth (always thought of […]

momfessions
via As a first time mom I wondered all the time if I am doing it right. I felt really insecure. I still have moments that can sometimes turn into days where I’m pretty sure I’m doing it all wrong. The human condition? or just mine? I don’t know if it ever will be all […]
what i wish i was wearing: all white
Whenever I have a little tan going on (which is most definitely not at the moment) i’m always reaching for white. Even if it goes from clean to covered in stains in 2.2 seconds. Sadly, I can’t totally blame my kids on that one. (: {one – top – skirt // two // three // […]

My parents say I was a lot like content little Wes as a baby – and it tricked them into (thankfully!) going for four. Which is sorta what I hope our ending number is – four. Lord willing, of course. And who talks about another baby two weeks after having one? When you have a […]
