I feel like Mom Guilt is the worst feeling in the world. And it doesn’t happen just because I feel like I’m not spending enough time with my child, but I feel like that feeling comes often…like when my house isn’t clean, when I feel like I’m not spending enough time with my husband, when I don’t want to see…

Home Update – Living Room
When Alex and I bought our home two and a half years ago, we kind of fell into it head first. We knew we wanted to live in the city and we were open to purchasing something we could update (with no idea how to do anything ourselves). As most things we do in life, we made an offer on…

Making Friends as Adults
Let’s talk about making friends as adults. It is so freaking hard. I actually find myself re-making friends with the ones I’ve already got and then feeling super awkward and nervous for the encounter…that we both agreed to. Not only does it feel like we have to book a two hour happy hour six weeks in advance, but nine times…

I’m Back!
Lordy, the beginning of this year has been nuts! Honestly, I was sick in early February and feel like it took me FOREVER to get back into life. We travelled to West Virginia for Alex’s birthday and then we have been constantly moving since then. My grandma passed away mid-March and with Easter and her funeral plans, we have all…

February 1st
February 1st… A time to reflect on January, have a glass of wine with our friends who mistakenly gave up alcohol for a month and look back on goals that were made when opportunities seemed endless with the start of the new year bringing heightened motivation. January was LONG. It’s the first time in a long time that I kept…

Sleep, or Lack There of…Will be the Death of me
Do you ever feel like you are failing at life? This week has been one for the books my friends and my primary source of stress is William’s sleep. I’m. Losing. My. Shit. And I’m pretty sure I have no one to blame but myself. Every night, William is rocked to sleep (1st mistake) by me (2nd mistake) and has…

New Year’s Resolutions
I am the Queen of New Year’s Resolutions. I make lists and lists outlining my goals for the entire year. I scrap notebooks with only 5 used pages in the hopes of starting completely fresh. I am the A number one fan of “I’ll start that on Monday…next month.” So this new year is even more motivating because JAN 1…

Becoming Parents
We had moved to St. Louis from Chicago. We bought a house. We had somewhat of a savings account. Our millionth friend announced their pregnancy on Facebook. But we didn’t feel like there was this overwhelming missing piece in our lives. We loved spending time together and had built a life around a pretty selfish existence. Nice dinners, lots of…

33 Thoughts at 33
I LOVE my birthday and I have loved it regardless how old I get. When I was in 2nd grade, our teachers had us draw a picture of our favorite holiday and I drew a birthday cake. Probably because my parents made it so special for us – our birthdays were always above and beyond and we seriously looked forward…

Weight Loss/Fitness Update
It’s been 4 full months since I have really been paying attention to the food I’m putting in my body in hopes of seeing some sort of result. After January, I decided to not weigh myself for a while because I tend to see pretty drastic fluctuations from one day to the next and I would just get frustrated that…
