The Second Baby

"When are you going to have another?"

I am asked this question all the time. People are getting antsy.

How to Love Your Built-Ins Again!

When we first purchased our condo, one of my favorite things was the huge wall of bookshelves. It was so functional, and was a great place to display some of favorite belongings. A few years later, we had used this as a dumping ground and they just felt messy, all the time.

Our New Anniversary Tradition - Family Portraits

To celebrate our five year anniversary, we woke up early, got dressed up, and spent the morning with our wedding photographer. You may remember, we did the same thing last year (except then we did the evening, too many bugs), you can see those photos here.  These photos are so special to me. I love the nod to our wedding (the clip in my hair is from our wedding day), the fact that we got some of us nursing, and captured the special love between my daughter and her daddy. We hadn't planned on nursing photos, but I love how they turned out.  Here's us celebrating our anniversary, and our family- at our home, on our condo building roof, and at a local park, taken last Fall (September 2015).

Migraines & Hormones (for those who suffer from Auras)

“Due to the preponderance of evidence that migraine with aura is associated with an elevated stroke risk compared with migraine without aura, and the assumption that this risk would be further elevated by use of estrogen-containing contraceptives, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and the WHO have considered migraines with aura to be an absolute contraindication to the use of combined hormonal contraception.” (Ref 1)
