Baby + Mommy 11 Month Update

admin — Tue, 27 Mar 2018 23:36:15 +0000

Sharing our love for this city plus a baby and mommy 11 month update. It’s hard to believe that we have been in LA for over 3 years now. When we found out we were pregnant, the question we were constantly asked was “Are you planning on moving back home?”. We never toyed with the idea because we were both on a career path that we wanted to continue to pursue here. Now don’t get me wrong, I would love nothing more than to be surrounded with our immediate family and share the incredible development and experiences of sweet baby Adaline with them. We are doing our best as a new family of 3 to keep working hard and loving hard in the city we both share the same love for and know baby girl will someday too. We love LA for too many reasons. Yes, the weather is gorgeous and the views are insane but it’s the impactful, memorable moments of witnessing, exploring and sharing all of these memories together with my little family. There is so much to do here from hiking to beaching to eating and shopping. I could go on but you get the idea, our weekends […]

Baby Blues: 5 Things To Get Over

admin — Thu, 18 Jan 2018 14:34:05 +0000

I got the baby blues and 5 things I need to get over … I am very thankful that I never suffered from post part depression. I have had a few friends who did and of course read up on it before pregnancy in fear I may develop it. It’s a very common, real and difficult thing, especially since the very first few months should be some of your happiest moments ever. I will say that I have had some baby blues simply created from my new found role as mom. It’s THE most, BEST, amazing role to ever take on but being a “Mom” and the caretaker of another human being, well it’s flat out hard. It’s A LOT of stress! Imagine loving something so much, yet fearing for their well being at all times. Yes, I may be a bit of a worry wart for those who know me well, but it’s all good intentions. And because of that I wanted to share a few things that I have learned along the way now that baby girl is almost 9 months old to help any new mama’s or pregos to digest before they fall in to the light baby blues like I […]

Mommy Necessities

admin — Fri, 02 Jun 2017 06:00:43 +0000

Mommy necessities … I’ve read a lot of mommy blogs and listened to plenty of experienced mommy friends when it comes to the necessities. Tips like what to pack in your diaper bag or what you should never leave the house with out, but no one mentioned anything about lotion. No, not baby lotion, I’m talking lotion for mommy, a necessity no one seems to mention! It’s so important to have clean hands and sterilize everything for an infant. So of course all I feel like I do is wash my hands. I wash my hands before I hold baby girl, after I clean her diaper, after she spits up all over me and any and every other messy situation you can think of. We can’t forget about all the bottle cleaning I have to do too. From pumping and feeding, my hands are getting rough from the constant washing and drying of all her necessities. No one told me how sensitive mommy hands can get from all the work!! Which is why my tip to every new mom out there is to stock up on some hand lotion and pack it in your mommy purse, your diaper bag, your car, your […]

To My Dearest Mother

In honor of Mother’s Day we wanted to dedicate this post with a special poem to our beautiful mothers. We are so blessed to have these amazing women in our lives who have made us who we are today. Thank you for the unconditional love and support! To My Dearest Mother © Kirsten Rollander My mother is a special part Of all that’s cherished in my heart, She is my pearl, my soul, my mate; She is the one to make life great. She is an angel without the wings, Who makes life special with the littlest things, Whenever I’m in need of love, She is there from the heavens above; Whenever I’m in need of a shoulder, There’s no one as devoted as my mother. Her presence and love have always been there, Everything in her nature is to only care. With every soft hug and kiss The world seems more beautiful and blessed. I’m sorry for all the times I caused you pain, But after these brief storms my love still remains. I love you so much, I will love you forever- I wrote your name on my heart And it will stay there forever, and ever… Happy Mother’s […]
