I'm finally ready to share before and after photos of my body just after giving birth, and now. For someone who has struggled with body image issues for my whole life, taking a picture with my stomach exposed and sharing it with the world is facing a big fear for me. But even in writing this I feel proud to have overcome it!
Red isn't a color that I'm drawn to. It's not one that I wear often. I always had this idea in my head that blondes don't look good in red. But when I tried on this red floral faux wrap dress (currently on sale for $49 with code SHOPTOIT) at J.Crew last week, my mind was changed.
I started working with Prudence on my bedroom last month, and in that time she has taught me so much about interior design and how rooms flow. We're on our second project now (can't wait to share it soon) and during that time have become great friends.
When she texted me last week asking if she could come over to "play around" with my living room off the clock, I was basically jumping for joy.
For a few weeks I was struggling with what to feed Amalia now that she's pretty much off of purées entirely. The purée thing was easy and fun for me but when it came to solids, I was at a major loss at first. Now we're in a groove, and I'm going to try to share more of our recipes with you starting with these veggie-packed muffins that are gluten-free, dairy-free, and sugar-free, sweetened only with bananas.
Last week on my Instagram “walk and talk” stories, I talked about how after becoming a mother, weekends are often way more work than actual workdays. On Sunday nights, I’m usually exhausted and literally cannot wait for Monday morning to hit… You know, like the way non-parents feel on Friday afternoons. Can I get a #MonYAY anyone?
