I started 2018 as an anxious new mama cradling a tiny four month old baby wondering how I'd ever go back to work. Now I have a walking, spunky 16 month old and I've found my new normal (usually!)! Excited to take a look back at 2018 below with our favorite outfits and an ever-growing Naiya.

Sharing a letter today for new moms and moms-to-be who are about to take the plunge into parenthood too.

I'm excited to share a guest post by my hubby, Phil. I last interviewed him about how his experience in becoming a first-time dad. Since it looks like that post was one of your all-time favorites, my wordsmith of a husband is back today by popular demand.

Today I'm sharing the top 5 ways you too can build your own brand from the ground-up and ultimately become your own boss.

Along with today's outfit post, I'm sharing 5 life lessons I'd tell my younger self (as well as life lessons I can't wait to share with our daughter someday).

Last week, I finally had the chance to paint for the first time since Naiya was born. It was only for about an hour but I walked away feeling like I found a little piece of my pre-baby self again.

Excited to share my #1 secret for getting my daily workout in with you today. I'm also rounding up 12 of my favorite workout brands of the moment you need to know about because they'll motivate you to hit the gym.

Excited to share them with you today along with today's outfit post (this dress is less than $70.00!). I'm also teaming up with Once Again Nut Butter to share one of Phil and my favorite snacks of the moment that's helping us to feel good too.

If you're not a new mom, let's face it, you need self-care in your life too! Hopefully these ideas will help you as well.

A few weeks ago, I promised myself I'd make a big change in my life in order to find a better balance. Sharing the one thing that's made me happier this year (other than Naiya) since giving it a try.

In addition to today’s outfit post, I'm rounding up some tips in terms of how to reshape your view of success too (especially if you're a perfectionist like me).

After asking everyone around me their favorite audiobooks and podcasts, I started downloading right away like it was my job. I've now become completely obsessed. Rounding up my favorites you need to know about today as well as details on behind my outfit of the day.

Sharing one of my favorite pairs of leggings with you today that brought me from pre-pregnancy through to pregnancy, postpartum and beyond (without having to buy a different size!). I first started wearing K-Deer haute yoga pants years ago when they were a new brand that had the perfect shorts and pants for hot yoga.

Last week was my first week going back to work since having Naiya and it was so surreal. As excited as I was to actually get dressed, find my professional self again and have adult conversations that didn't involve poop and spit-up, leaving Naiya was undoubtably hard.

Get ready for a lengthy post full of tons of outfit photos. Thank you so much for being part of my journey this year and for following along with our growing family!
