Max Turns One: Party Recap
Can you believe I’m a mom to a one-year-old?! We celebrated Max’s first birthday last month, and it was magical!
Top 10 Newborn Essentials
I’m here to give you my 10 must-have things I think you need for your newborn. These products have saved baby (and me) after pregnancy!
Bold, Boho Master Bedroom Reveal
Before baby Max was born, I wanted to make sure my bedroom was a place I would want to retreat to; a place where I could find peace and happiness amongst the chaos of caring for a newborn. With the help of Joybird, I created a colorful, boho oasis perfect for refueling my creativity and energy.
Baby Brand Spotlight: Pehr
With baby Max here, I’ve been having such a fun time finding the cutest and practical outfits for him. One company I have really come to love is Pehr. They are a woman-founded and woman-led company that create wonderful products in partnership with ethical manufacturers and craftspeople.
The Postpartum Essentials I’m Loving
A lot of mothers talk about the fun stuff that happens postpartum, like the cute clothes, the nursery and special moments with baby - and you know I’m gonna tell all of that. I also want to be your go-to for all the not-so-fun stuff that comes with the “fourth” trimester.
Baby Max’s Nursery Reveal!
After giving birth early, two hospital stays, and a COVID scare, I finally have some time to share baby Max’s nursery! Many people dream about their wedding day, but I dreamt about my baby’s room.
The Non-Maternity Dress Styles My Bump is Loving
So, I made a bet with myself. At the beginning of my pregnancy, I told myself that I would limit the number of clothes that were deemed “maternity.” I didn’t want them just to end up in a pile post-baby, waiting until the next time they could be worn. One problem: when you go to search for bump-friendly pieces on most retailers’ sites, you’re stuck combing page after page. That’s why it’s important to know the types of styles that work, so you’ll avoid weeding through the masses to find the one piece that will work.
The Summer Cocktails (and Mocktails) You Need to Try
It’s finally summer! One of my favorite things about the season is the fun drinks. Since I’ve been pregnant, I don’t miss alcohol at all, but I still want to celebrate the sunny skies with a bright mocktail.
12 Empowering Books on Baby Goode’s Bookshelf
I have always been such a bookworm, diving into multiple books at the same time. I’m really hoping to pass that gene onto the baby! Books have the power to start conversations, introduce important lessons, and change the world. That’s why I have handpicked every single book that has found a home in his library.
How I’m Practicing Self-Care
It’s so easy to get wrapped up in the world around us that we ignore how our mind and body are feeling. I’ve always wanted to be open about my own journey with mental wellness, so here are four ways I like to practice self-care while at home.
Sex Reveal! It’s a…
It seems just like yesterday I found out I was pregnant, but I guess it’s true when they say time flies when you’re having fun (and growing another human!) We found out a couple weeks ago what Baby Goode’s sex…and guess what?! We’re revealing today!
The First Trimester with Baby Goode
Recently, Alex and I told a really big secret - WE’RE PREGNANT! The outpouring of love and support we received was absolutely amazing and gave us the warm-and-fuzzies! To have a little human growing and developing inside of you is a feeling that unmatched by any other. Since I just entered my second trimester, I wanted to share a few things that helped me get through the morning sickness and turbulence of the first semester. Because mama - you are strong, you will get through this!!
Five Ways to Increase Confidence
To me, confidence is unique for every person. It may be loud and bold or it may be quiet and refined, but one thing all confident people have in common is their inner sense of peace which creates an effortless high frequency energy. That energy comes from a place of non-judgement and self compassion. It’s contagious!
Why Improving Your Confidence Matters
The concept of confidence and self-esteem is a topic that has interested me for quite some time. After doing some research, I’ve decided to make a 3-part series all about what I discovered. This is part one - and it’s all about WHY having confidence matters.
Cult Classic Movies for Every Occasion
With all the rain in LA recently, I’ve been in the mood to grab some popcorn and pop on a cult classic. Movies have always been such a big part of my life, so it only felt right to round up some of my favorites for each occasion!
