The Dark Cloud of Motherhood; My truth about postpartum You rarely hear people talk about the foggy haze. The dark cloud of motherhood. Dare I say the actual words. Maybe that’s because it is a deep, dark place no one wants to visit. Or maybe because, facing it head on makes it […]

Jasper’s 7 Month Update
I know I am constantly saying “where has the time gone” every single second, especially in these monthly milestone updates, but you can quote me on this for future reference. TIME GOES WAY FASTER AFTER SIX MONTHS. Quote me, write it in stone, do what ya gotta do, because I’m serious when I say it. […]
Jasper’s 6 Month Update
Here we are. HALF of a year old! Jasper is officially closer to a toddler than he is a newborn. How did we even get here? Most importantly, where had the last six months gone? It’s been quite the ride, but we made it and we’re here to tell you all about it. Jasper’s 6 […]
Jasper’s 5 Month Update
As I begin every postpartum/monthly milestone update, HOW are we here already?! In just one month my sweet newborn baby will be half a year old! But, let’s not go down that rabbit hole just yet. I am going to keep this update short and sweet. It’s been a hectic time over here and I […]
Jasper’s 4 Month Update
I feel like I need to start off this post by asking why doesn’t the four-month milestone come with an instruction manual?! KIDDING, kind of… Jasper’s 4 Month Update In all seriousness, month four has been easier than three months but yet harder all at the same time. Last month I had the stress […]
My Pregnancy Must-Haves
There are many items out there for pregnancy and if you’re a new mom you probably got suckered in to buying them. Eventually you realize it was a waste of money because you never used it. So, before you waste all of your money on nonsense items (save that money to spoil your new babe!!) […]
Jasper’s 3 Month Update
I can’t believe we are here. THREE months postpartum and three months of loving on my sweet boy! This last month has been a whirlwind to say the least. I don’t have too much to update you on in regard to postpartum/baby stuff because it’s been pretty chill if you don’t count the other craziness […]
Jasper’s 2 Month Update
Hey babes! Life has been a tad bit crazy over here and so much is happening so fast. A few weeks back I wrote a blog post sharing my one-month postpartum thoughts and how the new mom life is treating me (and Jasper of course). If you haven’t read that post yet, check it out […]
Jasper’s 1 Month Update
It’s officially been one whole month since I gave birth to my son, Jasper Thomas, and boy what a month it has been! I could go on and on about this last month. Trust me, a lot has happened, and life is so different with a newborn, but I’ll begin with saying it was nothing […]
Jasper Thomas’ Birth Story (pt. II)
Jasper Thomas’ Birth Story (pt. II) Read pt. I of his birth story here. After the nurse broke my water (around 2pm), things started moving pretty fast. I started feeling pressure. Jasper was so close to making his arrival! Around 2:45-3pm I was ready to do my first “practice” push. Little did we know he […]
