When we moved into our house, there was a random room off of the kitchen that had just been put in. It felt like an afterthought, and had very little heat and no insulation. We at first thought of it as a nuisance and kept it empty for months. It was dark and cold and empty for that first winter.
Before I had Amalia, I asked my friend Jessica, the co-founder of The Parent Collective, to offer her top six tips for brand new moms as a fun guest post. When she sent me these tips a few weeks ago, pre-baby, I thought they sounded good but had no idea how accurate they would be.
And we're back! After taking last week off, I feel refreshed and ready to get back on track with lots of fun fall content and some exciting giveaways coming up.
Over the weekend, Anel and I celebrated* our five year wedding anniversary, and instead of doing our yearly interview (last year and the year before) with wedding photos yet again, I decided to change it up and share five lessons we've learned over the last five years.
Last week, Stephanie came over to take photos of us with Amalia for our "newborn shoot", something that I used to think was cheesy, but now feel so happy that we did it. I just wanted to share a few of my favorites with you!
