I feel this is the beginning of the end of nursing forever. My daughter, my third and (most likely) last baby, will be 11 months old three days from today. Last night, she didn’t want to nurse. She wanted to suck her thumb instead. Raquel is my first thumb sucker, so this is new to me. I laid her in her crib, certain she would change her mind and want me to feed her. But she didn’t.

True life: I tried La Mer Crème de la Mer Moisturizer for six weeks straight. I was fed up with my winter skin and decided to pull out all the stops when I had a 30% off coupon.

It’s my sweet sixteenth anniversary of turning 20, and for some reason I’ve been thinking about how much change has happened since I was standing on the edge of not-quite-adulthood. The way I consider time and experiences has been the biggest shift. There is something so liberating about being in this stage of life, even though I’m quite literally, tied down in the most familial sense. You feel it, right? Yeah, I’m about to get philosophical.

It is with mixed emotions that I share the news that we are moving! I’ve been relatively quiet on social media and here on this blog throughout the holiday season not only because I was spending some down time with family, but also because I’ve been busy getting our new home ready for my family to move in.…

I’ve seen a heated debate brewing around which pair reigns supreme, and since I own and wear both of the bestsellers, I realized it’s time to share a comparison for those of you who may be considering your first pair or switching teams. Here are my honest, un-sponsored thoughts on the cult favorite Spanx Faux Leather Legging vs Commando Perfect Control Faux Leather Legging:…
