Military life is not for the faint of heart, but it’s also filled with a lessons and gratitude I never saw coming.

Here are 6 things I’ve learned to deeply appreciate. Lessons that have shaped me into the mom, wife, and woman I am today.

When I had my two little ones, I was beyond touched by the people who showed up for me. Not just with “Congrats!” texts or baby clothes (though we love those too), but with real, thoughtful gifts that reminded me I wasn’t alone. From friends who sent me flowers to those who dropped off snacks on my porch like carb-filled angels. I remember every single gesture. So whether your bestie, sister, or co-worker just gave birth, here are some gift ideas that new moms will actually appreciate (and lowkey cry over).

Being a working mom is basically a full contact sport with zero timeouts. Some days, I feel like my energy meter is running on empty and coffee is my only hope. But over time I’ve learned that relying on caffeine alone is a trap. So I built a little dream team of supplements that keep me sane energized and ready for anything my wild life throws at me

Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought, “Wait, who is that?” Like, you expect your usual reflection, but instead, there’s these weird dark patches popping up on your face that you definitely did not invite to the party. Yeah, that’s melasma. Especially that sneaky pregnancy melasma that likes to show up unannounced and overstays its welcome.

Thank you for a truly incredible 6.5 years. It was pretty hard for me to put into words what a ride this has been, but buckle up—this is a long one… (with a fairytale ending).

Spring is a magical time of year, bringing longer days, warmer weather, and endless opportunities for family fun. After a long winter, it's the perfect season to get outside, explore nature, and make lasting memories with your little ones.

Shortly after discovering I was having a girl, I immediately started searching. baby girl nursery ideas. While scrolling through countless inspirations…

When it comes to finding the best toys for our little ones, quality, developmental benefits, and convenience are all at the top of the list. That’s why we have been absolutely loving Lovevery Toy Kits

A good night’s sleep is essential for toddlers’ growth, development, and overall well-being (for us moms, too!!!). However, many parents struggle with bedtime battles, night wakings, and overtired little ones.

Landon is approaching 2.5, and saying goodbye to her binkie is something I have been putting off for almost a year. She loves her binkie, and if I’m being honest, it’s the first thing that feels truly sentimental to let go of as she grows older.

When I first got pregnant, a good friend of mine sent me her baby registry. On it were both the Doona and the UPPAbaby Vista V2. I remember gasping at the price tags and asking her, “Which one should I get?” She replied, “Well, you kind of need both.”

Welcome to the new year and the next chapter of my little life! I’m so excited to kick off this fresh start with all of you. 

Creating a baby registry can feel overwhelming, especially for first-time parents – at least it did for me! With so many products and brands to choose from, it’s hard to know what you truly need versus what’s just nice to have (and what is just good marketing).
