My two boys are 21 months apart. Whenever someone asks me how I handled two under two, my answer is simple. Baby wearing. It’s the only way I survived maternity leave, home by myself outnumbered by children! Having BOTH hands free to prepare meals, clean, EAT, and more was so necessary. I wanted to share my favorite 3 baby carriers…
I love reading motherhood posts from Kylie at immaeatthat so I’m going to do my own version here. In some ways I can’t believe it’s already been 6 months of having two kids, and in other ways it feels like we’ve known L forever. I think so far, the “taby” stage (12 months – 2 years) was the hardest for me.…
I got this idea from Laken at planwithlaken (youtube). With 2 small kids, a full time job, and now the blog I’m trying to build in my spare time, it was a good exercise for me to sit down and map out how many hours I can reasonably expect to spend in each area. It’s serving as a reminder to…

When I was pregnant with my first, I didn’t consider cloth diapering at all. It wasn’t until D was 7 months old and we enrolled him in swimming lessons…
New here? Check out my intro post. I took a break from goal setting in 2020. In hindsight, that was a good thing in many ways; in chronological order: 1. pandemic 2. moving 3. new baby. Little time was left for goals and that was just fine with me. 2020 was a tough year for many of us and I think…
We’ve all done it. It’s the night before the paper you’ve known about for weeks is due, and you’re still frantically writing at midnight. Or on the drive home, you notice the gas tank is starting to get low. Even though there’s a gas station on your way home you put off the task until tomorrow. What’s behind these decisions?…
I love blogs. I’ve been reading them consistently since college almost daily. I know the trend is more video based (now more than ever, with reels or tik toks of 30 seconds maximum) but I love the written word.
