I’m so sad to be writing that Evelyn is already 6 months! While i’m loving her being more interactive, I can’t believe we’re already half a year into parenthood. Her Stats: Weight: 15lbs, 11 oz Hight: 26.5 inches She Loves: Sweet Potatoes & Avocado. She HATES bananas and broccoli. I recently upgraded her toys and […]

Hitting A Wall – The Downward Spiral of An Exhausted Mother
By mariapelletier on January 18, 2018Hey Mommas & MTB, You know that saying, Hitting a Wall, that’s used a lot when talking about endurance races (marathon, triathlon, etc)? It describes perfectly the gigantic road block I’ve ran full-speed ahead into and just landed HARD and am now deciding how to get back up. For those not familiar with the saying, […]
Hi Mom Bosses, Worry #1 when going back to work was how I would cope being away from my baby, Worry #2 was, what the heck am I going to wear?! After four months of leisure wear I had to dig deep in my closet for my blazers and work outfits to see what would […]

Hi Mommas & Mommas-To-Be, Thank you to everyone for the kind words and support as I transitioned back to work. I surprisingly haven’t cried at the office. I’ve been able to FaceTime Evelyn a few times during the day and since she isn’t sleep trained yet I still had several hours to cuddle her once […]
Well Evelyn’s first Christmas didn’t go as planned. I was looking forward to my parents visiting, getting the last few days of being able to sneak in some naps and extra sleep before I headed back to work full time. We had plans for a few overnights in Santa Ynez for wine tasting and visiting […]
Ladies! Oh I have a fun one today! If a year of TTC has shown me anything it’s how common it is for people to say some super insensitive things without even realizing it. It’s also made me more aware of situations where I might do this, or i’ve seen it done. Since it seems […]
Four Months! I can’t believe it. Life with Evelyn is starting to feel normal and it’s getting easier to do things out of the house. Evelyn is such a fun baby. Always giggling and smiling. She is LOVING the Christmas Tree – she likes to grab the branches and look at the lights. She’s also […]
Hey Gals, It’s been 3 weeks of me going dairy free for Evelyn. It seems to be working, her skin is sooooo much clearer. She still has some red & puffiness around her eyes which i’m hoping will clear up in the next week (I read it can take 3.5 weeks for dairy to completely […]
