Why DIY This DIY wall decor project is one that came very naturally to me. I love interior decorating (and organizing!) and I come from a very talented family in the building/craft world. Decorating is one of the most enjoyable hobbies that I have. It then makes sense that DIY fits in quite well. But […]

New Mom, Who Dis? I never thought I would care about breastfeeding. My mom had trouble breastfeeding, so I was formula-fed. And as I went into motherhood, I didn’t think that I would be able to breastfeed either. I had fully accepted that before my son was born in January 2016. While it was not […]

Well I guess I’m not hiding how old I am anymore. This September I’ll turn 30, and I’m actually pretty excited about it. After the year that I had last year, I’m honestly just grateful for the ability to have another birthday and to continue to watch my family grow. I’ve done a lot of […]
