When life gives you a newborn, a toddler, many animals, and labor injuries… along with all the other life challenges, you need to find some peace. Here’s mine. I give myself about an hour or two every night before bed to do something for ME. I choose either coloring, reading, or video games.

We had such a fun time with Auntie at Kipp the other day. This place has soo much to do. Kat loves going there and wants to stay all day. (Thank god it’s a 2 hour time slot for mama) we always have soo much fun. Her favorite thing to do is all the slides. She goes again and again. She makes su

The Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium is an amazing place to visit. As locals we go all the time. My daughter’s favorite places for animals would be the Aviary and the Aquarium. As a duck enthusiast she loves ducks and all the birds. She could spend the whole day between just these two

My friend Scarlett came over to get some photography practice recently and had a great time, though my toddler was a little interested in the process. She definitely wanted in on all the action. We got a couple great photos out of it though! My son Jaxon is soo cute, we just wish we had better

These simple adult coloring books are my favorite way to wind down. They are soo calming and give me the creative freedom I need. I love using alcohol markers, acrylic markers, and gel pens to add in all my details. Recently I’ve been doing more simple pages as I haven’t had the time to do

Our family has grown a little larger and I couldn’t be more grateful. Both my kids are soo precious and I couldn’t imagine life without them. Their bond has already forming and it’s warming my heart. Katerina is obsessed with her brother and is such a great little helper. She’s always helping wit

Average cost for photos in our area that aren’t mini sessions are $300 plus money per photo. Each photo on average is $50. I think this is absolutely insane. What happened to family photos being affordable? I would love to buy a camera and do photos for others at affordable rates some day. B

I’m soo thankful for the extra time I’ve had with you. Mommy loves you soo much. Baby boy was due June 26th and came June 2nd. I’m especially happy that this pregnancy was soo much better than my first and that baby boy stayed in 2 weeks and 3 days longer than his sister did. (Without the scare

On Saturday we headed out to Nelson Produce Farm for the Freedom Festival and had an amazing time. This farm is soo much fun, especially for the littles. My toddler had a blast. It included: -tractor train ride - photo ops -petting zoo -pillow jumps -many playgrounds -fair games -blow

I haven’t had time to color a lot recently, but now that we are settling into a routine I’ve had time to relax. I recently had a beautiful baby boy. Between a newborn and a toddler my hands have been quite full. I’m really looking forward to the nights my husband is home so that I can have some

Having a newborn again is wild… But the difference between my son and daughter are night and day. Postpartum healing with my daughter was easy, with my son in injured and it’s been tough. My pelvis is spilt down the middle and in my SI joint. It’s excruciatingly painful. Plus the first week

There is nothing I love more than being a mom. Especially with having such wonderful children. My son and my daughter are my entire world and I couldn’t imagine life without them. Rina has taken the big sister role very seriously. I wasn’t sure what to expect 2 weeks ago when Jax was born, but

Welcome to the world Jaxon! 💙 I cannot believe you’re here, I feel like I was barely even pregnant. (Even though you stayed in much longer than your big sister) My labor experience was interesting to say the least. Sunday: went into prodomal labor Friday: labor got stronger and was told

I swear this pregnancy flew by compared to my first. To be fair my first pregnancy was a living hell. Complications, Hyperemesis, countless hospital stays, water breaking at 23 weeks, over 10 weeks in the hospital straight, depression, house hunting from the hospital bed, then purchasing a home

I recently had the opportunity to model for maternity photos and it was such a fun experience. I’ve modelled most of my life, but maternity modelling is definitely new. My first pregnancy was hospitalised so I didn’t have the opportunity to do anything fun. Though I did get some photos donated and

There is nothing more relaxing or satisfying for me than coloring a new page in my coloring books. From simple or detailed, the stress leaves my body no matter what. I’m soo happy because my husband got me a few more coloring books for mother’s day from him and our daughter. He really knew exac

Finding cute clothes while pregnant is definitely a struggle, but let me tell you it’s totally possible! My biggest hack: Thrift cute clothes in larger sizes. Maternity clothes are hard to find and are usually ugly. Sizing up is definitely the way to go. Hack 2: Invest in the breastfeeding
