When it comes to anything tech-related, I usually leave the expertise to Tyler. But when it comes to monitoring my baby boys, I take the reigns and dig thoroughly to make sure it meets my extremely high expectations. There’s no room for error when…
I’m known to break out the fall decor as soon as September 1st rolls around. Sometimes earlier, but I don’t always admit to that! I’m not a fan of summer, so I count down the days until pumpkins and all things earth tone can…
My husband Tyler was backing up photos from over the years recently. We went deep down memory lane from our early days when he was on Warped Tour and I was a waitress on Elmwood to our wedding on a mountain top and the…
Admittedly, when I made a baby registry for Fox I picked items solely by their looks. When I was wrapping up the list I realized almost all the major items were from Graco! I already knew they were beautiful products, but it was time…
Every weekend I take Fox shopping with me — whether it be for groceries, necessary errands, or just for fun. It’s something we’ve started up since his little brother was born as a bonding moment for just the two of us. We frequently stop…
Confession time: I’ve had a habit of buying clothes for future children since I was 18 years old. I specifically remember heading into the Fashion Outlets of Niagara Falls and being compelled to pick up a baby’s faux leather jacket for just 0.99 cents.…
I’ve made it no secret that nursing my first child didn’t work out. One of the major obstacles I faced was that the professionals that were there to guide me made me feel judged and inadequate. There’s very few things I’ve experienced that were…
The other day I rounded up the family and set off for the park down the street. This isn’t your ordinary park. Well, maybe it is but not to me. It’s the same park I’d catch a ride to on bicycle pegs with the…
As women, we have heard all of the stories, testimonials, trials, and successes of becoming a mom. We’re told that it’s the most difficult job in the world but also the most rewarding. There’s a lot of vague generalizations about what to do and…
There’s been a lot of changes happening within our home in the recent months. Fox has been growing like a weed, with full-blown opinions and tastes that change seemingly every day. And our newest, Charlie, has been learning new tricks whenever he wakes up…
Thank you Baby Dove for sponsoring this post. When my first son, Fox, was a baby it was painfully obvious that he had sensitive skin. From the day he was born we battled with redness and dry, flaky skin, but as soon as he…
I’ve attended plenty of baby showers in my life and the gift pile always looks similar from party to party. Onesies, diaper pails, and breastfeeding pillows fill the tables. As each gift is unwrapped I cross my fingers the recipient isn’t about to receive…
A few weekends back I hit the thrift stores with my mom. We were on the lookout for some unique decor for the nursery, something I’d struggled with finding. Charlie’s room is a mixture of white, gray, blush, and sage, so the typical…
I hate to admit it, but Fox had never really slept in his bed until recently. I’d tried just about everything from Dockatot shifting, “big boy” bed with his original crib mattress, new bedding, new stuffed animals, a fancy nightlight, and more. Getting myself…
When I moved back to Buffalo in 2018, I felt like I was learning my city all over again. Not only was I showing my California-born and raised husband the 716 ropes, but a lot had also changed while I was away. Add the…
