Olivia just turned 10 months old, which means I have less than two months to plan her one year birthday bash! I've been on Pinterest non-stop to get some party inspiration. It reminded me of the beautiful farmer's market birthday party my cousin, Mina, threw for her one year old last year. Lettuce reminisce the celebration as I share all of the details. And yes, I have a terrible habit of sharing parties a year later lol.... Read More

Postpartum Care + What Postpartum is Really Like
I always imagined that postpartum and maternity leave would be relaxing with a lot of TV time and loving baby. I often see new moms on Instagram constantly talk about how they’re in pure bliss.

Some details may be TMI so feel free to skip this post if it’s not for you!... Read More
