| Object Permanence Box | I love having a space in our home where I know Ollie can play safely and independently. Obviously even in his Montessori style nursery, there are things that we need to move and tweak as we realize he can get to or hurt himself with. I decided to write some of the pros and cons down so far, especially now that he is crawling and the floor mattress is a blessing and a curse. Pros: Oliver can choose and access any of his toys neatly presented on his shelves. He ... View the Post
How to start cloth diapering
I know I haven't been doing this for a long time at all, but I did want to write down some encouragement to those of you who are thinking about incorporating cloth but haven't dived in quite yet. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. My plan was to be a cloth mom almost right from the start but all that pressure wasn't helpful, it just created guilt. I had three newborn cloth diapers (two Grovia and one Luludew AIO) that he would wear when I didn't think he was going to poo ... View the Post
Oliver’s 9 month update: All the milestones but no more teeth
Catch up on previous updates: Oliver's birth story | Month 1+2 | Month 3 | Month 4 | Month 5 | Month 6 | Month 7 | Month 8 Nine month's old is such a fun one because that's how long he was inside my belly and I still think that is remarkable. It has obviously been a much busier 9 months than when he was all tucked inside but it's incredible getting to know our little one. This month he has grown in leaps and bounds; not so much physically, but in what he is able to do now. I'm going to ... View the Post

Please consult a prenatal yoga teacher or healthcare professional for expert advice on exercise during pregnancy.] Allow me to hit rewind for a second before I start talking about yoga and exercise during my pregnancy. At the beginning of 2016 I started doing a type of yoga called "Bowspring." It's very different to the "traditional yoga" and I was enjoying it a lot until I took an Iyengar style class in ...

A thank-you to my Insta Husband on his birthday
Happy Birthday Daniel! Thank you for your patience at meal times. I'm sorry about the cold food because I have to take 432,567, 719 pictures from different angles before we eat. Thank you for being my photographer. Sorry that I ask you to retake the photo so many times because my hair was weird or my smile wasn't quite right. Thank you for doing so many jobs. Your work, looking after Oliver, cooking, cleaning and laundry. Sorry that I don't tell you often enough that you are ... View the Post
Meal Plans: June 18-24
This week has gone pretty much on track but there is no way I'm making the quiche tonight. It's an awesome meal but I am wiped and now I know not to put that on a Friday but rather a Monday or Tuesday. I love learning as I go! It's also Daniel's birthday on Sunday so we might want to go out then instead of Saturday. So basically I'm not sure what the weekend holds, but I prefer planning and deviating from it, than not having a plan at all! Happy Friday! What are your favorite meals to ... View the Post
