I struggled to find a crib mobile I loved for Iris’s nursery. Well, actually, all the ones I found that I loved were over $100 and I just couldn’t bring myself to spend that much on a crib mobile. So instead, I decided to make one. This crib mobile only cost me $15 to
When the weather is nice, we like to spend as much time as possible outside. There’s just something about being outside in the sun that really wears a kid out and makes them nap extra good, which this mama is a fan of. Haha!

My sister and I are 22 months apart and we’ve been best friends since the day I was born. I love it! And I knew that was

Breastfeeding does not come easy for me. With both Hazel and Iris, I had to start supplementing when they were only weeks old. My body just doesn’t produce enough milk.

Iris Wilson Ellis. She entered this world with the loudest pterodactyl screams, a lot of dark brown hair, and the cutest turned up nose (just like her big sister and Daddy). Iris was born on May 11th at 6:32am. She weighed
My diaper bag got an organizational face lift since Iris was born. I’m an overpacker in general, and when I just had one kid, I had plenty of room to overpack my diaper bag. I packed it with everything I could possibly need (baby body wash, lotion, etc) because I was worried I might need something and not have it. But in order to

The recovery from a c-section is a little different than recovering from a vaginal birth, and while there are some items needed for the recovery of both a vaginal birth and a cesarean, a c-section requires a few postpartum items that aren’t needed for a vaginal delivery. I’ve experienced

I’m going into my second scheduled c-section in just a couple days, and it’s the weirdest feeling knowing the day your whole world will change. I’m definitely feeling more at ease this time around than I was with Hazel. The night before Hazel was born I only got two hours of sleep. Partly because I
