My baby is finally feeling better, thank goodness! My baby is finally feeling better, thank goodness! I'm going to be honest, I am exhausted. The emotional toll this week has taken on me has just made me a new level of tired. 

I saw something the other day and it really stuck with me. 

Nobody talks about this when you are thinking about having kids. They talk about the financial piece and the how it's going to change your life piece. But nobody talks about the risk you take by having something you love so much and all the worry that comes with it. 

It's a risk every day to have your whole heart walking around, and going to school and picking up illnesses. There is so much worry and stress that comes with it.

But on the other hand, what a privilege it is to have something you love that much. I have never loved anything the way I love this little boy.

While sometimes the emotions, intrusive thoughts, worry and stress get the best of me, I am grateful every second of every day that I get to be this perfect, beautiful tiny human's mom.

Thanks for all the sweet messages of encouragement this week. It's so nice to know I'm not alone. I'm very grateful for all of you!

3 Beauty Products to Add to Your Wish List


It’s been a minute since I’ve mentioned some of my favorite beauty products.  I always talk about my old reliables, but I thought it was time to mention a few new ones! So today, here are three beauty products to add to your wish list!

First up is the WORLD’S BEST TONER. No joke, no exaggeration. My friend told me about this product and so I gave it a try. It has been a game changer for my face. The Mario Badescu Glycolic Acid Toner hyper-focuses on pigmentation and wrinkles. It helps remove old acne scars and  honestly it has helped me with my current break-outs too. I have been using this for several months now and I can’t live without it. I even have Stephen using it too. OH and best part, it’s $18 for a big bottle.

Up next is the LA PURE 24K Gold Eye Treatment Mask. These under eye patches combine 24K Gold, collagen, hyaluronic acid, and grape seed extract to reduce wrinkles, dark circles and puffiness around your eyes. I mentioned a different under eye patch a few months ago, and these patches are a big upgrade to those. I like to put my patches in the freezer for an extra cooling sensation (and to add one more step to my ice rolling). My eyes have never looked better that after using these for a few weeks.

Finally I want to talk about the latest No B.S. product. We all know I LOVE the No B.S. line. I am always so excited when they come out with a new product and right now that is Day + Night Hyaluronic Cream. It combines Jojoba Oil, apricot oil and Hyaluronic Acid to give you hydrated and smooth skin. Plus as always, No B.S. has no parabens, sulfates, phthalates, petrochemicals, or artificial fragrances. If you get dry skin in the winter, you NEED this cream.

There we go! Three new beauty products to add to your beauty wish list.

What’s your favorite beauty product right now?

Today we are making a Valentine's Day waffle platt Today we are making a Valentine's Day waffle platter with nutella filled uncrustable waffles. I do realize waffles don't have crusts, but it helps keep the Nutella inside! 

How to make them:
-First, mix your batter and dye it pink with a little bit of food coloring. 
-Then make your waffles, I found this cute @bydash mini waffle maker for Valentine's Day!
-Once they are done, spread a little nutella on a waffle.
-Add a second waffle to the top and use a heart shaped uncrustable cutter to make an uncrustable waffle. 
-Arrange these on a cute plate, add some strawberries, serve and enjoy!

What's your vote on Nutella? Delicious or overrated?
