  • We are starting homeschooling with Lucas! He’ll be 2 in June and we both come from education backgrounds. I was an early childhood educator for over 10 years so I couldn’t wait until he could start. He already knows his alphabet, recognizes numbers, knows most colors, and loves to learn. He loves to paint and color so we let him go wild with it! . . . . . #earlychildhoodeducation #education #teachersofinstagram #homeschooler #livinghomeschool #playbasedlearning #homeschooldays #homeschoolkids #childhoodunplugged #homeschoolfamily #homeschoolfun #homeschooling #earlylearning #homeschoolers #toddlerplay #homeschoolrocks #momlife #letthembelittle #homeschoolingmom #toddleractivities #homeschoolcollective #homeschoollife #hereisourhomeschool #preschool #learningthroughplay #homeschoolmom #homeschool #invitationtoplay #homeschoolmama
  • Towards the end of my pregnancy, I started to feel regret. Why did we decide to have another baby so close in age to Lucas? Will Lucas hate me for having to spend time with his baby brother? Will they resent me? But once Lincoln came home, Lucas has blossomed into this wonderful big brother. When Lincoln cries, Lucas tries to give him his pacifier or hold his hand. When I ask Lucas for a hug, he runs up to me and gives me one and a kiss and says “I luh you”. He doesn’t hate me... he loves me AND his baby brother and that’s all I could’ve asked for. I can’t wait to see them grow up with each other and go through life holding hands. . . . . #motherhoodalive #motherhoodrocks #mommysbaby #mommyhood #mommylove #lovebeingamommy #mamabear #mamablogger #mamarazzi #mamalife #mamablog #motherhoodrising #momblog #writeyouonmyheart #littlefierceones #mytinymoments #enchantedchildhood #wildandfreechildren #familytrails #documentingmotherhood #thebloomforum #thesweetlifeunscripted #mommyhood #mommylove #connectingmoms #simplymamahood #honestlymothering #lifeasmama #thisismotherhood #finallymamablog
  • With my first son, I pumped/breastfed for 2/3 weeks before stopping. He wasn’t gaining weight, we were told to supplement, and i just gave up. This go around, I wanted to try to go to at least 6 months. Well... I’m here and still pumping. It’s been hard especially since i have a low supply. I only make around 10/11oz a day so we still supplement but I’m determined to keep going. However, at the end of the day i know fed is best so if I ever stop pumping... I’ll be okay with that! Any tips for this pumping mama?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #pumpingmom #breastmilk #breastpumping #motherhoodunplugged #pregnancy #breastfeedingmama #liquidgold #parenting #pumping #momlife #breastpumpinghelp #happypumping #exclusivepumpingmom #breastfeeding #pumpingmoms #breastfeedingmom #babyboy #exclusivelypumping #pumpingtips #pumpingmama #breastfedbaby #breastpumpingmommy #motherhood #baby #exclusivepumping #pumpingmilk #thepumpinglife #momsofinstagram #finallymamablog
  • Baby L was born 12/4/19 at 34 weeks exactly. He was 5lbs 13oz and 17 inches long. He spent 20 days in the NICU and those were some of the hardest days of my life. Leaving Lucas at home was leaving a part of my heart at home and when i was at home, part of my heart was at the hospital. Finally, on Christmas Eve, our family was reunited and Lucas got to meet his baby brother. We are so in love. . . . . . #love #christmas #nicubaby #family #babies #nicumom #preemiemom #preemie #babylove #preemiehood #nicudad #preemiepower #nicu #niculife #babyboy #kids #preemiebaby #instagood #nicubabies #boymom #nicustrong #preemiestrong #merrychristmas #nicujourney #baby #finallymamablog
  • The countdown is on to meet our second baby boy. I’m so glad I chose this man and he chose me to go through life with. He’s a great husband and an even better father.

  • We took Lucas to the fall festival in our community and he loved it. He loved the hay, the fog machines, all the kids and seeing costumes. He’s definitely more social than my husband and I which is going to keep us on our toes! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #Autumn #AutumnLove #Wanderlust #Foggy #FoggyMornings #Halloween #October #SweaterWeather #RoadTrip #PSL #PumpkinSpice #CornMaze #Hayrides #PumpkinPatch #Rain #RainyDay #FallVibes #Fall #FinallyMamaBlog
  • This diaper caddy from @_mollieollie_ is amazing. Ever since I got it, it’s been on my bed every night. Lucas still bed shares with us and has bottles throughout the night so I keep some in it plus some tissue and other necessities. It’s amazing! It has pockets on the side as well as a zip up pocket. I keep my lip balm in there!

  • People have asked us if this baby was planned or unexpected. He was definitely wanted. Sean and I decided on having another and stopped birth control to have him. He wasn’t unplanned. Granted, having 2 under 2 is going to be rough and we know this.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This pregnancy has been a lot harder than my first. I found out i have placenta previa and then at my last appointment I found out that I also have vasa previa. Vasa praevia is a condition in which fetal blood vessels cross or run near the internal opening of the uterus. If I start having contractions, baby can bleed out and die. We will know more October 28 but it looks like I’ll be heading to the hospital when I’m 32 weeks and staying there for 3 weeks and deliver via csection at 35 weeks. It’s been hard to say the least but we will do whatever we need to do to make sure Baby L makes it earth side and is safe.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We love you and can’t wait for our family of 4 to be complete 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #itsthelittlethings #flashesofdelight #petitejoys #lifestyleblogger #abmlifeiscolorful #thehappynow #pregnancybelly #thatsdarling #mommyblogger #parenthood #momlifestyle #momblog #joyfulmamas #pregnancyblog #livethelittlethings #livecolorfully #theblogissue #nothingisordinary #prettylittlething #makeyousmilestyle #parentingblog #imsobloggingthis #parentingblogger #veganblogger #vegansofig #syblbloggers #finallymamablog
