Hey, CWS fam! Long time no talk. I know it's been a while since my last post. Being a work-from-home mama is one of my greatest blessings but it definitely comes with its challenges. I am constantly trying to seek out what "balance" means for me now and I think I'm realizing that there is no such thing anymore, haha. Just kidding.

Tips For A Baby Milk Bath Photoshoot
Hey there, mamas! Ever since I shared one of Taya's 6-month milk bath photos the other week on Instagram, I have had some mamas reach out asking for tips... ... and since this photoshoot didn't go *exactly* the way I had planned it, I figured I'd share my experience and give some tips on what I learned! I knew that I wanted to do a milk bath photoshoot when Taya turned 6 months old because 1. hello, cute photos! 2. It also marked 6 months of exclusively breastfeeding. This was such a ...
CWS Happenings
Hey loves! Happy September! I'm glad to be seeing a new month because a new month always makes me feel refreshed and it reminds me that it's okay to press the "reset" button.

Our Breastfeeding Journey So Far – 5 Months

Some things I want to be upfront about before diving deeper... This post is going to be ...
6 Years Of Blogging
I'm so happy that YOU are here to celebrate with me today! Six years ago, I launched Coffee With Summer with a fiery passion in my heart and fresh coffee in hand. I didn't know it at the time but the decision to launch CWS would change my life in so many beautiful ways... It's crazy to look back at the early days of CWS. I actually started my blogging journey on Tumblr back in high school. Back then, blogging was more of a journal or venting place for me and my teen years and all the ...
