13. I can’t believe one week ago today I was contemplating whether or not I was in labor and, if so, if it was too soon to go to the hospital… And little did I know that my sweet girl would be born just a few hours later. Happy one week, Ava! You’ve forever changed my life .

20. Today is a rough day for this mama — it’s my last day of maternity leave During this time, I’ve changed lots of diapers, had sky high anxiety, perfected my swaddle, learned how invaluable a swing is, googled everything baby under the sun, suffered through the initial, and unfortunately, sometimes recurring pain w breastfeeding, cried along with my little girl, doubted my mothering skills, and had many sleepless nights. The first weeks are no joke, y’all. However, I’ve also sang dozens of songs, read the cutest of books, taken at least 50 pictures a day, loved every second of baby girl clothes shopping, given hundreds of hugs and kisses, smiled the biggest of smiles along with my little girl, gained confidence in knowing what she needs, watched her discover her hands and learn how to swat and grasp toys, enjoyed that Ava loves to nurse, soaked up all the cuddles/kicks/punches, died for that morning smile my babe gives out every day when I wake her up, have lived for the moment each and everyday, and have learned that having a baby truly does get better everyday. Planning things just aren’t as simple as they used to be and I kind of enjoy that. Maternity leave was a 12 week wild and amazing adventure that I will always hold dear. I can’t believe this photo was taken 10 weeks ago. Ava Mae, I’m not sure what tomorrow may hold but you’ve made me so happy and proud that I can call you my daughter. Mommy loves you! #babyhamman

Ava’s 5th Birthday party was last weekend, right Ava’s 5th Birthday party was last weekend, right before we all got sick! 🦄 I’m sharing more photos, details, + sources on the blog today, plus, more of the party in stories today! ✨🤍 #unicornparty #5thbirthday #birthdaydecor
Thank you sweet friends for your messages after my Thank you sweet friends for your messages after my stories last night. 🤍 I think right now what is so worrisome is all of the neurological symptoms that are coming from this virus... loss of taste & smell, smelling smoke/disgusting smells, and dizziness. There are waves of good hours and waves of bad and every morning I wake up with new symptoms. Again, I have a few upcoming scheduled posts + I may give updates on symptoms but that’s about it on here. I can’t believe Covid finally hit our house... and we were so close to getting the vaccine. 😫

🤍 It's time to refresh our towels + bedding for the New Year! After heading to @meijerstores, I picked up fresh white towels, pretty patterned sheets + pillowcases, and a classic, crisp white quilt. 🥰 To keep everything tidy, I added in some woven baskets + wire bins. I layered in greenery 🌱 for natural elements as well as pretty + functional cleaners, a gorgeous candle, and a sign with personality! How do you keep your bath and bedroom linens organized? #Meijer #NewYear #Organization
Our January #bookshelfie 🤍 Clean, fresh, + simp Our January #bookshelfie 🤍 Clean, fresh, + simple. // I’ve been absent on social this week, actually really since the change of the New Year.  This was intentional & planned before what happened this week. Just because I’ve been silent on here doesn’t mean I haven’t been speaking out in real life. I chose to listen on here, quite a lost art that I’m personally working on improving this year. 🤍 I’ll leave you with this: The other day, Ava and I were reading Parker Looks Up, one of the books we’re reading this month. 📖 She looked at me and said, “I love her skin Mommy. Isn’t it pretty?” Yes, my dear it is. ❤️
