Postpartum recovery and real experiences
This summer was extra special for us, knowing it was our last one as a family of four before baby Cherry joined the party. We made sure to soak up every single second, capturing all the little moments on film so we could keep them forever. It wasn't about grand adventures, but about those sweet, simple times together.
You guys, I'm literally on cloud nine right now bc my sister is having her baby and I'm about to become an auntie again!! It's such a wild mix of emotions, feeling like it was just yesterday I was holding my own babies for the first time, and now getting to watch my sister experience it all. My heart is so full I could just cry :,)
Okay, you guys, I just had to share bc my heart is literally bursting right now. Having all my girls together, Stella, Ozzy, and now our sweet baby Cherry, it's seriously everything I've ever dreamed of and more. The non-stop giggles and the way they all love on each other just melts me, ngl :),
You guys, I'm still just so overwhelmed thinking about how much support I had after Cherry came. And honestly, a huge part of that was my girl Sarah, who was only 11 days postpartum herself and still showed up for me. It just makes me wanna cry happy tears thinking about it, bc that's the kind of village we all deserve, right?
There's nothing like those quiet morning moments with my babies, especially when I can snuggle them close and still get things done. I swear, these early hours are pure magic, and keeping my supply happy is a big part of that for me.
Happy Halloween everyone!! This year's costume was so special to us, a little nod to our love story and how we always just knew it was each other. It's a reminder that sometimes the simplest things, like a movie quote, can hold the biggest meaning. :,)
Okay so I gotta tell you guys about this DoorDash DoubleDash thing bc it's seriously been a game changer for us lately. Tanner and I have the most opposite lunch preferences ever, and it used to be such a whole thing trying to figure out what to eat. Now? Not an issue at all, and it's kinda magic.
Okay, so this tradition started way back when Tanner and I were just babies, basically. We were all broke college kids, none of us could afford to fly home for Thanksgiving, so we kinda just... made our own. And honestly? It's become one of my favorite things ever, a real core memory for our family.
Okay so I've been playing around with making my own lil sodas at home, and ngl, I think I just stumbled onto my new favorite combo. It's super simple but tastes like a dream, and it's been such a fun way to get my Bloom in every day!
It's Valentine's Day and my heart is just overflowing thinking about my sweet Tanner and our three little valentines. It's wild how much can change, and how much stays exactly the same, when you add more love to the mix. This day always makes me so sappy, ngl.
Happy Valentine's Day, you guys! It's so wild to look back at how much our little holiday traditions have changed, but also stayed exactly the same in the best ways. From just me and Tanner to our sweet crew of five, every year just gets better and better.
Okay, so you guys know I'm not exactly a Michelin-star chef over here hahah. But lately, I've been trying to get more comfortable in the kitchen, even if it means a little chaos and a lot of laughs. And ngl, sometimes it actually turns out pretty good!
You guys know I'm all about finding those little things that just make life feel a little bit brighter, right? And honestly, sometimes it's as simple as sunshine on your face, the smell of salt water, and a yummy drink that gives you that extra oomph to chase after three little girls all day. It's not about being perfect, it's about finding what fills your cup so you can pour into others.
Valentine's Day has changed a *lot* for Tanner and me over the years, from those early days when it was just the two of us making googly eyes, to now with our three little valentines running around. It's wild how much your heart can grow and how different, but still so special, this day feels with a full house. I wanted to share a little bit about how we navigate it now and some of the things that make it feel extra magical for our family.
Every baby has been completely different and I've learned something new each time. Here's my honest experience with breastfeeding — the good, the hard, and everything in between.
