Bought the cutest little wooden car + truck set for my son to play with since he’s crawling everywhere, and I just love them! 🚙

These are perfect for crawling age kiddos, could be used as decor in a car themed bed room, and would really make a great toy for any toddler! They roll SO easily.

Look in the mirror, that’s your competition. No one else. Nothing. Just YOU.

Been kinda unplugging lately from IG and it’s because I’m busy working on myself and spending all the time teaching + playing with my little guy. Cherishing these days to the fullest and loving every second. 💕 We also rearranged and updated our workout area and I’m loving the extra space!! 🙌🏻

Thanks to one of my dearest friends for the accountability and support in my workouts recently. Love you @dr.kelsey.stolarski 😘 Feeling so good!

BEACH VIBES 🌴👙☀️🕶

I wore this to the beach last week and this outfit made me feel good✨

I am trying to get better at talking more positively to myself, about myself.

After going through IVF and pregnancy, my body went through a lot and I’ve accepted the new me 👏

I’m grateful beyond words to have carried my son, and would do it 1,000 times over. Of course I care about what I fuel my body with and how I take care of it, but I’m reminding myself lately that it’s what’s on the inside that matters most! 💖

So in case you need a reminder today too, here’s to loving the body God gave you, wear the cute outfit that makes you feel amazing, and let your confidence shine✨

INFERTILITY AWARENESS WEEK *this is not a pregnanc

INFERTILITY AWARENESS WEEK
*this is not a pregnancy announcement*

After a scary ectopic pregnancy, bilateral salpingectomy surgery, and then IVF, we were ecstatic when we found out we were expecting our rainbow baby last year. It was during this week last year that we got to share our exciting news. We are so grateful that after all we had been through, that our infertility journey ended when our son entered the world.

What will never end though, is my compassion for those who still struggle. Infertility changes the way you view life, it did for me anyhow. I do everything with such intention now. I often felt frustrated and sad. Most days my identity was lost in being infertile and having no control over it. But every day I tried my best to say what I was grateful for and to do things that would heal my heart.

If you’re reading this and you are experiencing infertility, the number one thing I want you to know is that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Infertility is hard, lonely, and isolating. It’s hard to choose joy when there are reminders all around you of what you want so badly. I’ve been there. I understand. But you truly are not alone.

Whether you struggle in silence or struggle and choose to share, that is OK.

I however feel a strong need to share our story whenever I have the chance. I found an immense healing in doing so. I have also been able to connect with women who have struggled too. Speaking about the hard stuff is not easy, but is necessary.

Please as a reminder, do not ask people when they’re going to have kids. It’s an incredibly personal question. Be gentle if you’re on the opposite side and have a friend who’s struggling, take time to be there for them. Ask them how you can support them.

I’m always an open ear for anyone reading this. 💕

In my stores today I share how to start an avocado tree of your own!

I started this one here over a year ago. It was just a little seed. Now it’s a beautiful happy plant that makes me happy every time I see it ☺️

I saved all my stores to a highlight for anyone to refer back to if they need! 🌱

When Josh + I first started preparing the nursery, I couldn’t wait to decorate! One of the first pieces I bought was this bumble bee and cloud mobile.

Typically you see mobiles above cribs, but I wanted nothing hanging above the crib in case it fell on our son in the middle of the night. That’s when I decided adding it above the changing table would be a good idea.

The mobile we bought was a purchase from Etsy. It’s so delicate. It’s handmade. And it is just such a beautiful piece that I love!

So for anyone else who loves the idea of a mobile, but doesn’t wanna hang it from the ceiling over the crib, consider adding it above the changing table.

✨LETS TALK BABY FOOD✨ I love to cook. I alway

✨LETS TALK BABY FOOD✨

I love to cook. I always have. When I got pregnant I knew that I would want to make as much baby food for my son as I could!

Making baby purées is actually a lot easier than I thought I would be.

We use @weesproutco glass baby food jars. Glass is the best in my opinion because it does not have any chemicals. These jars are freezer safe so I will make a large batch of purées and usually pop half of the jars in the freezer and half in the fridge. They reheat very well and you can serve the food right from the jar. Best part is that I know exactly how all of his food is being made.

The pack of glass jars we bought came with a dry erase marker to use for labeling each jar!

I use a magic bullet to puree his food once I’ve cooked it, and then I usually add water until I get the right consistency. The magic bullet really makes it easy for me to make his food and it always purées everything really well! Plus the magic bullet is very convenient due to the small size. My husband has been using the magic bullet since we first got married. He makes a smoothie every morning for himself so I am happy we did not need to buy anything specifically for making baby food because we already had the magic bullet!

We’ve been introducing a new food just about every other day and our son has pretty much liked everything.

Anyone else who might be interested in making their own baby food, please always feel free to message me and I can share any other tips if you may need.

I always knew my deepest desire was to be a mom, r

I always knew my deepest desire was to be a mom, raise a family, and be married to a loving husband. Here I am living that dream. Most days I am just in awe that I’m living my dream. I’m so, SO grateful.

I sometimes question if I’m “doing enough” though. It’s crazy how society can make you feel that way. But you know who never makes me feel like that? JESUS.

Prior to becoming a mom, in the darkest season of my waiting, and some of the other personal things my husband and I were going through, I ran to the father in prayer with all my doubts + worries. In this new season of parenthood, it can be easy to think it’s our job to have all the answers for our kids. But, it’s actually Jesus who has all of our answers. Whether its the answer we want or not, He has them. It’s our job to lean into Him and carefully listen.

The innocence, tenderness, and joy I see in my son, is a reminder that I need to approach Jesus with innocence, tenderness and joy, too. I may not find complete peace in all situations here on this earth, but in Jesus I will always find peace.

I’ve been studying the book of John with a small group at my church, and I’m learning that John (the sheep) was obedient to Jesus (the Shepard).

I need and want to be obedient too.
We all have struggles. It’s just a part of life. I often hesitate to go too deeply into sharing about Jesus, because I feel like there is still so much I have to learn and mature on, and if I’m being truly honest, I worry about what other people will think of me. “Am I really going to reach someone?”... but Gods judgement is the only judgement that matters. We are never to young to share Gods love and goodness. (1 Timothy 4:12)

I’m sure someone out there will maybe judge me as they read this, but I too believe that maybe, just maybe, there’s someone going through something right now, and maybe they’ve read this and something touched their heart.

If that’s you, whatever it is you’re struggling with, you don’t have to do it alone. There’s too much bad out there in this dark world to not share Gods shining light and saving grace!! Please open your mind, open your heart, and come to Jesus. I guarantee your life will be made new.

Sharing our @newtonliving crib mattress in my stories this morning. Now that our son is rolling around in his sleep, having this 100% breathable mattress gives me such a peace of mind at night. Definitely something we splurged on but I’m glad we did, especially now that our little guy will literally sleep face down some times 😬

It’s such a good mattress. The cover can zip right off to be washed + the inside can be washed as well.

☀️Baby Beach/Summer Mini Shopping Haul ☀️

We are heading to the beach soon for our first family vacay, so I bought a few summer staples for our little guy since most of his clothes are for the winter!

Babies grow SO fast so I figured buying pieces that can be mix and matched will make it easier and more affordable. I had super cash to use at Old Navy so I got the shorts + onesies for under $4 each!

@oldnavy has free shipping right now over $25 + has great spring/summer clothes for the whole family! So if you’re looking for some summer staples, check them out.
