healthy food, lifestyle, travel, & everyday moments.
Happy Friday and happy long weekend to US readers! We have great plans for this weekend. We’re celebrating my grandpa’s birthday, going canoeing and for a cookout with my dad, and heading to the zoo. I’m really looking forward to it as Eric hasn’t had a day off in a while.
Anyways, let’s chat about life lately. I haven’t been blogging much lately, but hope to return to it this summer after we get our new, preschool-less rhythm down.… Read More »
I’ve been scarce around here lately, but I wanted to drop in and wish you a happy mother’s day and a year filled with self-love, whether you are dreaming of motherhood, trying to become a mother or a mother already.… Read More »
I think April and May are busier than Christmastime when you have kids. Usually I feel as if I have, like, three friends (and that’s great, I’m an introvert lol) but somehow I have about seventy-six social obligations in two months’ time once the weather turns warm.

Anyways–enough random chitchat, let’s catch up!… Read More »
Especially in the past year, I’ve really started to feel the distance between most of my friends from “previous lives” (high school and college) and my current life and self. Most of them do not have kids and/or are unsure if they want any. I am guessing many new-ish parents can relate.
This is one area I was definitely wearing rose-tinted glasses when planning a family. Expecting that people who felt so close and supportive of us pre-kids, would continue to be close and supportive after having them. That’s not the case for most people.… Read More »
I find myself SO interested in the daily lives of other moms lately. I am always looking for ways to streamline and make things easier, to make more time for the things we really love to do or fun new projects. We get along pretty well but it’s difficult to imagine adding more kids (which I would love) without turning our lives upside down–so organizing and simplifying are the priorities for this year.
Here is roughly what today looked like for us, for example. Every day is a bit different as we have OT for one child which varies by the week, and preschool for the oldest is only twice a week, plus other commitments to family and friends.… Read More »
