I had my first baby boy, Silas on November 29! He's almost 3 months old and has just been the absolute joy of our lives!
🪿 Married To My Best Friend
I married my best friend, Garrett, when we were 20 years old! We met in preschool and started dating in high school. Being a wife is one of my favorite things.
🪿Cultivating a Home I Love
I love HOME. I love decor, I love vintage and antiques, I love coziness and warmth. We have a 1914 house and one of my favorite things is adding and preserving it’s charm. I also love to garden, bake, and recently started sewing!
I love sharing bits of my life, my fav baby products and recommendations, organization tips, and more!
Let me know if we have anything in common! I need more MOM FRIENDS!!!! Let’s chat 🫶🏻🥹
... Read moreBecoming a first-time mom has been the most incredible adventure, but let’s be real, it can also feel a little isolating sometimes, right? That’s why I’m so excited to connect with more mom friends here on Lemon8! Finding your tribe is truly essential, whether you’re looking for someone to grab coffee with, share baby milestones, or just vent about sleepless nights. I've found that reaching out online, joining local parent groups, or even just striking up conversations at the park can make a huge difference. Don't underestimate the power of a simple 'Hey, how old is your little one?' to spark a new friendship. Those early days with a boy mom can be a whirlwind, and having someone who truly gets it makes all the difference.
Beyond the baby haze, I’m also passionate about making our 1914 home a cozy sanctuary. With a little one crawling around soon, I'm learning to balance my love for vintage decor with practical, baby-friendly solutions. Think soft rugs for tummy time, secure shelving for those precious antique finds, and lots of clever storage for all the new baby products! It’s a fun challenge to blend old-world charm with modern baby necessities. I’ve been experimenting with baskets, ottomans with hidden storage, and even repurposing some vintage pieces into changing stations. It's all about creating a functional yet beautiful space where everyone feels comfortable.
Speaking of baby products, I'm always on the hunt for the best and most practical essentials that genuinely make life easier. One thing I’ve learned as a first-time mom is to read reviews, ask other moms for their honest opinions, and not be afraid to try different things until you find what works for your little one. For instance, finding the right swaddle that actually keeps your baby snug, or the perfect sound machine that truly helps with sleep, can be a game-changer for those early weeks! I also love discovering sustainable or multi-use items that grow with your baby. It’s not just about what’s trending, but what truly fits your family's needs and lifestyle.
If you're also navigating boy mom life, or just looking for someone to chat about home projects, gardening, or even simple joys like baking, I’d love to hear from you. It’s amazing how much wisdom and support you can gain from sharing experiences. What are your go-to tips for staying sane in the early days of motherhood, especially when you feel sleep-deprived? Or perhaps your favorite way to incorporate family life into your home decor without sacrificing your personal style? I’m also curious about your favorite timeless vintage finds that you’ve managed to baby-proof! Let's build a supportive community where we can share insights, celebrate small victories, and truly feel connected. I can't wait to see your comments and get to know you all!
