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...

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...

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 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...

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...
