Having done this three times, I can honestly say that there is very little baby needs and oh so much the world has invented and created and marketed that will make you feel both like you need it all while also feeling completely overwhelmed. Couple my experience with this relatively new found passion I have for Waldorf education and its ideology, and I now have, what I believe, is the ‘real’ baby registry list.
Read MoreWe all know how important self-care is, especially as parents. And I feel like often as the primary parent, I will put my me-time on the back burner, usually to be forgotten until my fuse has run out. Well, the good news is, Brit has found a way to not only make sure my mental health and wellbeing are taken care of but has figured out how to present it to me in my love language: gifts!
Read MoreWhen Brit and I first began actively planning for our family, our first hurdle to overcome was figuring out the who, how, and where. Who would be our sperm donor? How would we find him? Where do we look?
Read MoreWe had an amazing opportunity recently to be interviewed by Shira Lazar, host of Let’s Go There on Channel Q & RADIO.COM, about our journey to parenthood. We spoke about how and why we chose the California Cryobank as well as what we were looking for in a sperm donor.
Read MoreWe have compiled a list of all the baby registry must-have items, including a few other good-to-know items, for first-time mommies. From strollers and car seats to baby food brands and our favorite places to shop for clothes, we’ve got you covered!
Read MoreAn experienced photographer, although new to her own business, was looking to expand and diversify her portfolio. She is committed to showing all people and families of all colors, genders, sexual orientations…the works! Pretty awesome, right?
Read MoreSo I figured I’d put this post together because this information isn’t really out there and I feel like it should be. Gyu-Kaku is one of my favorite restaurants to go to. First off, Sydney loves to “do the cooking” which is nice on my end. Secondly, as someone who has been tracking her macros (macronutrients: Fats, Carbs, Proteins), I am usually always looking for ways to make sure I hit my protein goal, Gyu-Kaku, a Japanese BBQ restaurant is a great place when protein intake is needed. I also enjoy eating out but it’s common knowledge that eating out can be tricky while dieting. You could get a salad that you think is “healthy” but walk away having eaten an entire day’s worth of calories and then some! At Gyu-Kaku, I know if I pick a lean meat, I should be good.
Read MoreAside from the pumpkin spice lattes, the 31 Nights of Halloween movies on TV, and sweater weather creeping in, another fall favorite for my family, or me rather, is prepping for, creating, and ordering our holiday cards. This year, we are super excited to be using Basic Invite for our personalized holiday cards.
Read MoreWe all know teething sucks for all parties involved in a babies life. Whether you have kids or not, we can all agree that teething’s a bitch. Or is it…?
Read MoreWe hadn’t discovered L’ovedbaby until Thea was 5 weeks old. It’s sad, really, because we missed out on dressing her in what would soon become her go-to wardrobe. Now, this may seem like a silly post, as it’s about clothes, but it’s really so much more than that.
Read MoreLike most pregnant couples, Brit and I wanted to document our pregnancy in as many ways possible. From iPhone shots to professional shoots, I wanted it all, and Brit was more than happy to oblige.
Read MoreSydney had found and fallen in love with Breezy Ann Photography (BAP) nearly two years ago and was set on Anna (the magician behind BAP) one day doing our maternity shoot and newborn shoot.
