… There’s a lot of reasons Tim & I chose to take a year off but one of the big ones for me was to be present for Evelyn. It’s been a little over a month of diving into being a full time mom and I feel like this time has given me the focus […]

By mariapelletier on May 17, 2018
Hi Mommas and MTB, So I know I promised this update LAST Monday and as hard as i’m trying to keep my consistent posting schedule (Mondays and Thursdays!) it has been difficult to find the time while fun-employed. Logistically, I’m having a hard time finding a good place in the house with enough natural light […]

How We’re Coping with Sleep Regression and Teething Pain at 9 Months
By mariapelletier on May 3, 2018
Ladies, after a week of sleep deprivation I’ve realized this – childbirth didn’t scare me off from wanting another baby down the road, newborn cluster feedings didn’t break me but the 9 month sleep regression & teething pain from her two top front teeth coming in may be the deal breaker of how many infants […]
As of today, Evelyn and I have been in NH for 1 full week. I had plans of journaling, yoga, playdates with friends I haven’t seen in a while and day trips to enjoy the beautiful and rustic outdoors.

I hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend. I am writing this post on Sunday night, a glass of wine and dairy free ice cream on my nightstand. It’s 8PM and I’m exhausted. We had a packed weekend filled with some great family time. The problem with fun weekends, is the To-Do list never gets […]
Hi Mommas & MTB, We’ve almost made it to the weekend! It’s been super rainy in LA and we’ve been stuck in doors a lot. Between that and Evelyn now crawling I’ve had some super challenging and exhausting days. I wanted to give all my momma readers out there some encouragement – and also a […]
Hi Momma’s and MTB, I used to think mom’s with babies who were out and about were crazy. Leaving the house seemed so overwhelming! However, I’ve now realized that leaving the house is necessary to keeping your sanity. When Evelyn is particularly fussy, getting outside is a good distraction for both of us. Over the […]
Gals, I’ve had a moment of self discovery this past week. I’m breaking up with instagram. Ok, maybe it’s not that dramatic but still, I’m making a big change. It’s been brewing for a while. Having a newborn I’m spending way more time on instagram – from going down a rabbit hole of discovering cute […]
