It blows my mind how many different ways there are for a mom to feed her newborn in 2019. Exclusive breastfeeding, exclusive pumping, exclusive formula feeding, exclusive breastfeeding with introduction of the bottle down the road, but that’s in that bottle could be pumped milk or formula. There are dozens of electric pumps to choose from, and many of those… Keep Reading
Breastfeeding and Formula Supplementation: What’s Working For Us
Seeing Frozen 2 + 12 Pieces of Frozen 2 Merchandise Under $25
Have you seen Frozen 2 yet? I took Hadley and Sadie to see it on Saturday afternoon, and I loved it just as much (if not more) than they did! I thought the deeper storyline, the animation and special effects, and the music were all fantastic. I teared up a couple of times too, which some friends had warned me… Keep Reading
Slice of Life: November 25th, 2019
Today is a beautiful Monday morning here in north Alabama. It’s a cloudless day with deep blue skies, in the 50s (perfect fall temps IMO!), and all three of my babes are happy at school (the big two) or with my mother-in-law (the baby). But I might be the happiest all of them because I have 2.5 hours to sit… Keep Reading
Slice of Life: November 23rd, 2019

Though Jamie and I really enjoy entertaining, we’ve never hosted a big birthday party for our girls at our home before. In the past, we’ve leaned more toward the route of paying for everything up front and just showing up at a facility (like… Keep Reading
Mom & Jillian Roadtrip to Savannah
Last Friday morning, Jillian and I hit the road and made the drive to Richmond Hill, Georgia (riiight next to Savannah!) to spend a couple quick days with Meg and her kiddos, Jack and Brynn. Her husband Chris recently deployed for nine months, so that gave me the push I needed to get in the car and go squeeze one… Keep Reading
A Day in the Life #11: November 4th, 2019 (almost 6, 3.5, and 3.5 months)
11 “Day in the Life” posts! 11! I did my first post like this when Hadley was eight months old and have continued to do two per year, and now here we are with #11. Time flies, but I love skimming through these posts and watching our kids grow up. I’ve been meaning to do this post for a couple… Keep Reading
10 Reasons To Use a Financial Advisor
The idea of writing financial posts makes me snicker a little bit because I never thought this subject matter would be something I’d cover on my blog, but here we are! Never say never. 🙂 I’m no expert at finances, but I think that’s what’s made some of my previous financial posts well read. My readers know I’m not some… Keep Reading
