Daily Maintenance is Key: Lessons From My Maternity Leave
Since I took about 5 weeks off from blogging (and life) to take it easy after Simon’s birth, I knew that I’d need to use Dave’s Spring Break week to catch up and plan ahead.
I was really looking forward to feeling like my normal productive self again… however, I didn’t expect it would be so difficult to find my productivity groove again!

However, after 6 weeks, I can say that so far, the transition from 1-2 has been easier than 0-1. Thank goodness!
How We Store It
I’ve gotten so many random questions about how we store various items in and around our house… so today, I’m sharing a post about how we store “IT”.
Obviously, what works for me, for my family, and for our home won’t necessarily work perfectly for you — but maybe it will spark a few ideas for how you might be able to better store and organize your stuff.

As I planned ahead for the arrival of baby Simon, I thought it might be fun to resurrect some of MY favorite posts from the past 3.5 years of blogging.
Today, I’m sharing some of MY favorite family, marriage, parenting, and motherhood posts — with a few extras thrown in because I just couldn’t decide!
5 Tips for Giving the Gift of Food
Over the past 5 weeks since Simon’s birth, Dave and I have been blessed with numerous meals and other food gifts.
And since I’ve shared my love of giving and receiving food gifts before, I thought I’d do another post about little tips and tricks you might consider the next time you’re giving the gift of food — because I just don’t know anyone who wouldn’t appreciate the gift of food.
