let’s paint
A couple weeks ago, a friend of mine group-texted me and a couple other friends asking if we wanted to go to a studio and paint. Looking to dive deeper into relationship with these fellow mamas, I said yes to this kid-free activity. And I am so glad I did! We got there and our […]

cloth diapering 2.0
Before we had Rylie in 2016, I did a lot of research and decided to do cloth diapering. We were young (22-year-young), living in my in-law’s basement and our income was low. Aaron and I have always been resourceful, and the sad truth of spending thousands of dollars on diapers that only ended up in […]
