Friday, October 7, 2022 is a date that I must have said a thousand times; the day our baby girl was due… and then October 7th came and went. While I am 100% in love with my daughter, I did not enjoy being pregnant. I stopped sleeping through the night without getting up to peeContinue reading “Stevie’s Birth Story ✨”

We are always taught to take care of our bodies, love them, embrace them, because they are the only ones we have, right? I mean my body grew a freaking baby. That’s incredible and that’s what I tell myself everyday while navigating my new body….my post baby body. I use the word “navigating” because that’sContinue reading “LOVING YOUR POSTPARTUM BODY”

This was going to be a post about what to take to the beach. But I’ve decided to take it in a different direction because this is my blog and I’ll do whatever I want.

I remember the day the itching started. Itching that was so intense that I’d leave myself bleeding. I was 36 weeks pregnant with hundreds of tiny red bumps surrounding my belly button in a ring, embedded within more stretch marks than I’d like to admit. As if that wasn’t bad enough, it spread. Up myContinue reading “KAITIE’S L&D STORY”

Instead of telling you where all the best baby sales are this year, I will be taking a more wholesome approach. Thanksgiving is about being with family and friends, eating too much food and of course football. I hope this Thanksgiving you sit by a fire in a cozy sweater and begin to count allContinue reading “THANKSGIVING”

Best part about spontaneous labor? No one knew I was in labor, not even me. This made it super easy for Brit and I to decide we weren’t going to tell anyone about it until he was born, except immediate family of course. Surprise! It was honestly nice and I actually wish looking back onContinue reading “VISITORS AFTER BABY”

If you know me at all you know I’m a spooky bitch. I mean I got married on Halloween for Christ sake. Every year I hibernate for 3 months while people have their summer fun. But, come September 1st, oh hunny, it’s a glorious morning and it absolutely does not make me sick (iykyk). WeContinue reading “FALL ACTIVITIES IN & AROUND PHILADELPHIA”
