Welcome to October! I am feeling extra festive this year with baby girl in tow. It also may have something to do with the fact that Bruce & I are reading a chapter of Harry Potter out loud every night while I nurse Hilde. Harry Potter always feels "holiday" themed to me - Fall, Halloween, Snow, and Christmas are key players in the books! I've been a fan of all the holidays my whole life - I'm all about an excuse to celebrate and gather together but now that I am a mom, that love has ... continue reading...
Our First Trip to Cheyenne Mountain Zoo
Thank you buybuy BABY for sponsoring this post! We've been trying to go on short walks everyday to help me recover and get out of the house but we finally went on our first "big" walk by going to the zoo!

I have a friend who told me that she was praying I would have an ... continue reading...
Weekend Recap: Little Women, Fall, prAna, & Mama Life
It has been years since I did a post like this! I used to have a whole category dedicated to my weekly Monday posts called "Week's End." I, loved doing them but as my blogging style changed, so did the need for those posts. I cut them out of my content calendar but thought today would be a fun day to bring something like that back - but a bit more 2018 instead of 2013 ;) As a new mom lots of things have changed. Even with this blog. I wanted to continue doing things at the same pace after a ... continue reading...
Diaper Changing Station
Thank you Signature Care diapers for sponsoring this post! Turns out newborns poop a lot ;) I mean, we knew that, but experiencing it is a different kind of knowing. We've been plowing through the diapers and trying to keep that cute little bum clean & dry. I don't mind it one bit though - it is such a gift to spend time with our little girl! Also, Bruce changes the majority of the diapers, so I really have nothing to complain about! We put together a little changing station on each ... continue reading...
