I don’t update this blog as much as I want to, but I think the reason is that I’ve been trying to make it something that isn’t very ME. I’ve been obsessing over SEO and making everything perfect when really… this blog started as a way for me to process my thoughts. I think after ten years I’m going back to that.

Recently I made over our bedroom to be much more cohesive. I utilized a lot of what I already had from thrifting and generally decorating other parts of my house, but went in search of a few things I needed to make it feel really like a united bedroom.

I will earn a small commission that helps support this blog, but nothing is linked that I have not bought myself or had recommended to me by trusted friends. As I near the end of this fourth pregnancy, I thought I would share some of my personal postpartum essentials. It hit me yesterday that I only have a month left until she arrives. Which means I had better stock up on my tried-and-true needs! With each pregnancy and delivery, I have gotten a more solidified idea of what some basic…
