Hi Balanced Beauties! It's been a LONG time since I've written a blog post. While being a full time mama has taken up the majority of my time, there have been a few things that I've wanted to share that were recently suggested by some of you. The topics I'll write about are: quick baby weight loss (next blog post coming) and an update on Brooklyn at almost 8 months. My second post (next week) will detail how I managed to lose my baby weight, and all the things that I feel helped that ...
Newborn Essentials
Hi Balanced Beauties! Ask and you shall receive! I am finally writing a much requested post about my personal favorite newborn essentials. During my pregnancy, I think I googled "top rated" and "most useful" newborn essentials more than anything, so I can understand why this was the most common request in my inbox! I am going to keep this post short and simple. From what I've experienced, whether you love an item for a baby, or if a certain item worked for someone else's baby, doesn't ...

I will be sharing my postpartum journey in next week’s post. It is just as ...

Popping bottles of a different kind in 2020 <3
Hi Balanced Beauties! Happy New Year and Hello 2020! We are ready for you. Just about four weeks left until our little girl arrives and we couldn’t be more ecstatic. As we march through these final weeks, I can now understand how other people say that the symptoms of the first trimester would rear their head again in the third!
