Oh Mammas, I don’t even know what to put in this post. Evelyn’s birthday party was a wonderful day and my heart was so full but like everything in motherhood, it wasn’t at all the day I had planned. I had visions of a beautifully set desert table with strawberry themed treats, and there was […]

To the Mother Struggling with Her Postpartum Body
By mariapelletier on July 12, 2018Mommas, The time is upon us – swimsuit season. When I was packing for our year long adventure in the trailer, I had packed the suits I had purchased when pregnant. I’d bought nicer quality, better material suits and justified the purchase as none of them were maternity suits so I could wear them postpartum […]
… 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 […]
Evelyn’s 9 Month Update – Sleep Regressions, Taking Steps
By mariapelletier on May 17, 2018Hi 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, 2018Ladies, 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. Instead, Evelyn and I promptly came down with bad colds. Thankfully she’s on the mend. Unfortunately, […]
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 […]
** Quick Side Note before hopping into this post, I follow a lot of other mommy blogger and vloggers and I feel like Monthly Update posts/videos end up feeling more like “humble brags” of your baby’s over development achievements and that can feel discouraging to other moms reading/watching. So I’m always hesitant posting where Evelyn’s […]
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 […]
