I am a very busy person, as is most everyone in 2022. I wear a lot of different hats and have two children under two. I need my hands for a lot of activities throughout the day. I also crave having my children close to me. Baby wearing is single handedly the greatest...
I have been very blessed to be able to take my children with us on virtually all of our trips- from Alaska to Hawaii to Tanzania and everywhere in between! I have a master list saved in my phone's notes that I copy and paste into a new note for each trip. There's an...
We fly a lot and always bring our kids with us, so they certainly are no strangers to flying. That being said, yesterday I traveled by myself with my two children (my son is 4 months and my daughter is 23 months). We flew a direct flight from Des Moines to Detroit,...
This was our fifth time in Alaska and our first trip to Seward. I am a little upset it took us this long to make it there because it is definitely in my top three favorite stops in Alaska that we have ever done! I daydream of owning a home there one day, I absolutely...
A seasonal favorite in our house, mulberry pie! I don't do a ton of baking because one of us is usually always dieting and homemade sweets in the house are the biggest pitfall to sticking to a meal plan. That being said- neither of us can pass up mulberry pie! Minimal...

It's no secret we spend a ton of time outside. A lot of our time spent outside is without toys (or with simple household items) but for at least an hour a day, Oakley is playing with some sort of outdoor toy. During our spring and summer, I like to spend 7am - 8am...

I said I wanted to have Oakley completely off bottles by January 1. That didn't happen. I then told myself I wanted her off bottles by the time Dean was born. That didn't happen. However, last night (April 27), we are 100% transitioned away from bottles. Luckily, it...
I am so grateful I discovered this company at the end of 2019! Their wide array of products for the whole family have helped us in so many ways with their holistic approach! I wanted to share my favorite products that we use as I have received so much amazing feedback...
In a world of some information at our finger tips, it can be extremely overwhelming for a new mom. Especially given how many friends and family members also want to give input on bringing a new baby home and all of their tips and tricks. While everyone means well, it...
Sarah Bowmar here- and I am so excited to share we welcomed our son, Dean, into this world on March 7! I do have my daughter, Oakley's, sleep schedule in a blog as well if you would like to check it out. Since having Oakley, I became a certified Baby-Led sleep...
I don't pretend to have everything figured out and I am certainly improving my own time management skills every single day BUT I do feel like I have some great tips to balancing and managing time that I think a lot of people could benefit from. For reference, so you...
Soup is easily my favorite food group. When we were in Tanzania last summer for a month, they served soup before every dinner. I thought I had died and went to heaven. So when I can make soup at home that fits my meal plan (and utilizes the meat we have in the...
With my demographic growing up with me, a lot of people ask me daily how we knew we were ready to have children, or at least start trying. It's not a guarantee to get pregnant as soon as you want or plan it perfectly and I always want to kindly remind everyone that it...
I can't believe I was giving birth to our son a week ago today! Time absolutely flies, especially during the newborn stage. I was hesitant to share anything on breastfeeding, again, as I was petrified to be ridiculed online, again, about it. It can be such a toxic...
I don't know about you, but when I am trying to increase my milk supply, I am usually struggling to hit my calories each day (as it is recommended by the ACOG and OBs to eat 500 calories above maintenance, and this includes working out). These cookies will not only...
I am sitting here, writing this, from my favorite spot in the entire world: my 5 day old son is asleep on my chest, my 19 month old daughter is fast asleep in her crib, and my dog is asleep at the foot of the couch. As silly as it sounds, my most viral video on the...
We spend so much time getting our baby registry ready, the nursery, the hospital bag, the outfits, the toys, etc but so few women spend time getting what THEY need to have at home after giving birth. I have been through this postpartum journey twice now and feel I...
What an incredible experience of delivering my son, Dean Wild! To say the experience was night and day different compared to my daughter's birth story would be an understatement. I have been taking notes and will do my best to share everything as I know how much...

Sarah Bowmar here to bring you my favorite study tips that I have used for the majority of the life post high school. For background and context to know I am not blowing smoke, I graduated with my undergrad in marketing in three years, graduated with my MBA in 11...
If you aren't following me on Instagram or TikTok, you've probably never seen our dog- Arrow. I never had a dog growing up where Josh had about 6-12 at a time (mainly hunting and antler dogs). When we decided to get Arrow in May of 2019, I was completely overwhelmed....
Baby boy is due in 11 days (February 28, 2022) and his nursery is no where near completed. In fact, it was a storage room up until 12 days ago and we finally got everything out of there last Monday and had the carpets cleaned. My original plan was to not buy anything...
It's almost that time to have baby number 2 and I wanted to bring everyone my updated packing list for my hospital bag! For reference, I don't really feel like I overpacked when we were in the hospital for Oakley but I definitely have slimmed down this packing list...
I was of course scrolling recipes on TikTok during my latest pregnancy insomnia episode the other night and found a "hot dog burnt end" recipe that looked amazing. That being said, it required about 14 ingredients for the dry rub and another 15 for the sauce + had a...
I've been having breakfast sandwiches each morning and also am beginning my nesting phase (baby is due in 20 days), so I decided to make two loaves of honey wheat bread tonight! The recipe was extremely simple, you don't need a bread maker, and took less than 90...
If you follow me on Instagram, there's almost a 100% chance you have been exposed to at least one of my story posts showcasing my daughter, Oakley, playing independently. She just turned 18 months old yesterday and has been spending a portion of the day playing by...
One of my favorite stories: Oakley's birth story. I cannot believe Oakley turned 18 months old today! I wanted to share her birth story to my blog (we do have a podcast on it as well if you are someone who enjoys podcasts). We are also about to welcome baby #2 into...
This is such a surreal time for me! I am 36 weeks pregnant and we just got home from Disney World last week- it was our last trip as a family of 3 (Oakley was 17.5 months old at the time of our trip). We had an amazing time and I did receive a lot of questions on...
It's no secret that blueberry mini muffins are a fan favorite between kids and parents. But the ones that are found at the store or the gas station are full of sugar and little to no protein. I wanted to make some protein mini muffins today and they turned out...

I am asked daily on book recommendations for parents. There are so many stages of child development, sleep, eating, gentle parenting, gentle disciplining, etc that I can't possibly list them all every single time someone asks so I decided it was a great time to create...
I searched far and wide for a casserole with scalloped potatoes that didn't call for ham (as I wanted to use venison sausage). I sort of combined a quiche recipe with a casserole recipe and subbed the hash browns for scalloped potatoes and it turned out perfect- the...

Fewer things relax me more at the end of the day than a night, relaxing, hot bath. During pregnancy, you are ALLOWED to take baths as long as you do not overheat. This is especially critical in the first trimester where overheating can result in an increased risk of...

I am proud to add "chicken mom" to my accolades. I have been wanting a chicken coop for over a year, given how many eggs we go through daily between Josh, Oakley, and me! Fortunately, my best friend and her husband have egg layers and they gave me a ton of tips on...

First off the bat- I hate the term “working mom”. I saw a quote recently that said, “never in my life have I ever used the phrase ‘working dad’” and that rocked me to my core. I wish I had a term to describe the woman who is working at is also a stay at home mom, when...
