It’s been three years since I last went on a plane or took a nice road trip, two years since I wrote my last essay for school, and almost five months since I last updated this blog. It’s not a secret that having kids quickly changes your life. Despite being 19 months into motherhood, I…

What I Learned in my 1st Year of Motherhood
I can’t believe it’s been a year since Theo was born! We officially have a toddler on our hands. The first 12 months since his birth have been such an incredible blend of bliss, anxiety, stress, and happiness. By no means am I an expert in motherhood and childhood by now, but I’ve learned so…

Third Trimester | Pregnancy Diary
It’s weird writing this because it feels surreal that 9 months can fly by so quickly. I remember feeling like I was at a standstill during my first trimester, just hoping for the best, and my second trimester flew by so quickly. Now we’re in the last trimester! —- Week 28: Not much this week….
Second Trimester | Pregnancy Diary
I officially hit the third trimester as of Sunday! I’m blown away at how quickly the second trimester flew by because the first trimester was very slow. Only 2.5 months to go!
