To say that breastfeeding has been a struggle would be an understatement. I had been told over and over that breastfeeding was hard so I went into it promising myself that I would make sure my baby was fed no matter what. I was so hopeful that once Isla was here it would just work. […]

Farvel, 2018
Another year is coming to a close. I can’t emphasize enough how big of a year 2018 was. 2018 was the year I grew a human and became a mother. When I reflect on 2018, it is easily my best year ever. Best of 2017 | Year End Lookback Personally, 2017 has been good to […]

Meet Isla Rey
October is a very special month. I was born in October, Chris’s birthday is in October, and now we welcomed our sweet Isla Rey into the world in October. She came out perfect and screaming on October 8 and was 8 pounds 4 ounces, 20 inches long. We are so, so glad she is finally […]

Autumn Picks | New Mom Wish List
It feels weird typing this out knowing that when it goes up, I will have a baby. I am sitting here at 40 weeks pregnant starting to feel like baby girl will never come, which is, of course, ridiculous. It’s an absolutely perfect Saturday. The sun is shining and the temperature is set to stay […]
Babymoon to New York City
It has been over four months since Chris and I took our babymoon to New York City. I delayed posting this and thought about scrapping it because I didn’t think we took enough photos while in New York. The more I thought about it the sillier that seemed because this blog is my space to […]
Twenty-Eight | Birthday Thoughts
Happy birthday to me! October is the best month to have a birthday and I have always loved it. This birthday is monumental in so many ways. It’s my last birthday childless. I have found that this year I’ve had serious tunnel vision looking forward to meeting Isla so this year, I want to spend […]
Autumn Bucket List
Autumn has always been my favorite season. I live for the days where the temperature cools enough that jeans and sweaters are necessary and the leaves begin to change. Every year, I put together an unofficial autumn bucket list in my planner but this year it is more important to me than ever to have […]
Third Trimester Musings
I cannot believe that I am at the end of my third trimester. My pregnancy has flown by and as excited as I am to have a sweet baby in my arms, I know I am going to miss having her close and feeling her movements all day everyday. I haven’t shared many pregnancy updates […]

Nursery Tour | Gender Neutral Boho
I am so excited to share my new favorite room in the house, our nursery. This is a room that I completely started from scratch on and pretty much has taken shape piece-by-piece ever since I found out I was pregnant. We (honestly, it was mostly me) began to plan out the nursery before we […]
Maternity Portraits with Cait Rose Photography
It has been a while since Chris and I had pictures taken of just the two of us… since our wedding, actually. I think pregnancy is an amazing time so I knew I wanted a few shots of Chris and I before Baby Berry’s arrival. It feels like I follow every photographer in Columbus (so […]
