In honor of Mother’s Day, I am sharing five of my favorite blog posts that I’ve written about my motherhood experience so far:
1. 12 Lessons in 12 Months: My First Year of Motherhood
3. Love Your {Postpartum} Body – 5 Ways to Improve Your Postpartum Body Image
4. What Works (for You) is What’s Right
And here’s a bonus: My Back-to-Work Plan
Happy Mother’s Day mamas! You’re all amazing and deserve to be spoiled 🙂
Admittedly, while I am happy with our decision to move from the city to the burbs, it has been quite the adjustment and there are still some things I miss about city life (overcrowdedness and constantly being in a rush not included):
Walkability:
In Brooklyn, we had SIDEWALKS. Now, we have limited sidewalks so our walks are spent partly in the street. We lived around the corner from so many stores, a few blocks from the train and a playground. Up the block from us was “the avenue.” That’s what people in the city call avenues that have stores and such. There were bodegas (similar to delis), pizzerias, take out restaurants, a diner, a library and so on.
I don’t know about you but I’ve been dreaming about vacation. Since I am creeping on 31 weeks pregnant, though, I am not getting on a plane any time soon. It sort of makes me sad. Last year, it felt like we were on the go a lot towards the end (Disney World, California and Michigan) so it has been nice to stay put for a little while… however, now that it has been a little while I want to be on a plane and headed to a beautiful beach.
I am hoping we can road trip somewhere before our next big vacation in September but if not, there is always summer. We live in a town with private beaches and pools so I plan to take advantage of that. While dreaming of said summer, I have come across one piece swimsuits that I think would flatter my — and others’ — postpartum bodies.
I got a lot of questions about the above suit I wore last year in Puerto Rico so I figured I’d share my picks for this year’s swim suit season:
What do you think? I’ll be sharing some two-pieces (high waist bottoms) soon!
1. This door mat was one of my first purchases for our new home. I love that it’s in Spanish and that it’s colorful… two of my favorite things. I’m counting all of our home decor purchases as Christmas presents 😉
2. It snowed twice this past week… and I actually enjoyed it.
3. We started decorating our Christmas tree this week and it gave me all the warm festive feels.
4. We are hosting Christmas Day and I am so excited!
5. This season is so full of love and gratitude. I don’t think a day has gone by recently where my husband and I are not counting our lucky stars/ blessings.
Wishing you all a joyful weekend!
