Hey friends, it's been quite a while! It was not in my plan to go MIA here for most of the summer but it was a nice break. This summer has been a bit of a personal rollercoaster for me. It's been a time of self-discovery and learning to embrace all of myself. It's been messy and quite complicated but growth is never comfortable! And that's okay. I still have so much to grow through. – WHAT’S GOING ON IN MY LIFE – In July, I was able to take my first solo trip since becoming a mama. I ...

Outdoor Summer Must-Haves For A 1-Year-Old
Hey mamas! Are you wanting to get outside with your toddler babes? If so, I have compiled a list of outdoor summer must-haves for a 1-year-old (and up) for you. While I love playing inside with my daughter (hello, air-conditioning!), there's just something so special about seeing Taya get excited every time we get outside. In fact, when I ask her if she wants to go outside, she goes running to the door, and sometimes she'll even go grab her shoes. It's the cutest thing! I'm sharing our ...
Monthly Coffee Chat Vol. 5
Hey, hey! It's been a while, friends. How are you all doing? I hope your summers are off to an incredible start. I know I have been a bit MIA here on my blog but I've been insanely active on all of my other platforms. To be honest, I have been in a lull with my blog for a few months now. I have content ideas that I know you'll love but it's hard to write these days. When I get the rare chance to write, I feel as if I have no drive or energy to do so. It's SO hard! But more on this further ...

Monthly Coffee Chat Vol. 4
Hey there, CWS fam! As I sat down to write this month's coffee chat, I realized that I totally skipped over last month's chat. It's been crazy! I am so glad to be seeing summertime and can't wait for all of the adventures I'm going to have with Taya. It's been pretty hot in Central PA lately. I'm talking high 80s and 90s! Not sure how I feel about that, but being able to go outside has been great for Taya and me. – WHAT’S GOING ON IN MY LIFE – I am finally back to my ...
Tips For The Beach With A 1-Year-Old
If you're looking for the ultimate list of tips for taking a beach trip with a 1-year-old, then you've come to the right place! We took our first family vacation at the beginning of May to Myrtle Beach. We were just a 2-minute walk to the beach and it was a dream. You can catch the recap of our trip HERE. It was Taya's first time at the beach and though I had a feeling that she'd love it, I was still really focused on proper planning for the trip. I wanted to keep packing minimal but smart ...
