Can’t get enough of these Utah sunsets.

02/10/2024

LIFE UPDATE - We moved! Our time in Maine has come to an end and we decided to live in Utah once again. And while we will miss the beautiful trees, the ocean, and kind people in Maine, we are excited to live near our family and friends again! And the mountains! Goodness me! Lately, I’m acting like I’ve never seen mountains before! They’re like SO PRETTY!

Wishing you a happy new year!!

I knew I wouldn’t regret buying these glasses for $2 at Goodwill a few weeks ago so I can romanticize drinking my sparkling pink grapefruit beverage on NYE while wearing a Christmas sweater and sweatpants. 😄

My Summer Staples
☀️🌊🍉🌴⛱️🍦

Taking a break from putting up some fall decorations to post about some things I’ve enjoyed this season! This is so I can look back on it someday and be like, “Aww yeah, I remember that 🤗.” Pre-nostalgia. That’s just how I am.

Silly little white shoes from Walmart. Super affordable, cute, and simple. The perfect summer shoe imo.

CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen. Is it a little too orange for my pale skin? Yes. But do i slather it on and go with it anyway? Also yes. The velvety finish and sun protection is worth it. ☀️

I get genuinely excited to wear these sunglasses whenever the sun comes out. I’ve never felt that way about sunglasses before so that seemed noteworthy. 😎

Thank the library gods for offering audiobooks on the most convenient way! I use the Libby app and cloud library app and I’ve loved listening to audiobooks while I’m working on my various diy projects this summer. There’s nothing like being fully immersed in an engaging story. 📚🎧✨

Tillamook ice cream. 🍦 I’m partial to the flavors Udderly Chocolate and Tillamook Mudslide 😋

Another Walmart special from a few years ago! I wore this striped dress approximately once a week, every week this summer. Easiest outfit ever. 🤍💙🤍

☀️July Moments☀️

1)I got to pick the book for the book club I’m part of and I chose Remarkably Bright Creatures! A charming story that features a giant pacific octopus as one of the main characters! 🐙

2)Many strawbs were eaten 🍓🍓🍓

3)&4)Little Miss DIY is back at it again! This time she’s sanding the kitchen cabinet doors in her creepy basement. Sanding is annoying, but it’s MUCH easier with this corner cat sander.

5)So many walks in the sunshine 🌞

6)I’m really loving my new sunglasses. 😎 Do I look like I’m wearing a parachute? It’s just a baby carrier lol.

7)Scored some candlesticks and cabinet organizer shelves from Goodwill!

🌺June moments🌺

1)Some family stayed with us in June and we got to be tour guides to some of Maine’s best sights and create amazing memories! 📍Portland Head Light

2)I never regret a visit to the ocean. 📍Old Orchard Beach, ME

3)Visited Boston for the first time and walked some of the Freedom Trail.

4)& 5)Started reading The Simple Things magazine (right up my alley) and loved this description of June.

6)Visited Plymouth Rock and decided that Plymouth, MA is so cute! See my Plymouth post a couple posts back to see more pics.

7)& 8)Finished reading Heartstopper vol. 3 and 4. Cutest series ever! I loved reading these before bed to end my day with cute, warm fuzzies filling my heart. 😍 5 stars, highly recommend.

9)I’ve been reading this book verrrryyyy slowly over 2 years’ time (😱) and I finally finished it in June! Not my favorite in the Green Gables series but I still dearly love Anne Shirley and reading what she gets up to.

10)The 3rd novel I’ve read by Rebecca Serle and I really appreciate the magical element she includes in each of her books. I listened to the audio and I would have liked a different reader (which I feel bad saying because the reader of this one is the author herself) because I prefer more of a performance rather than a straight up reading, which is what this felt like. I give this one 3 stars.

A quick visit to Plymouth, MA!

🌟March Moments🌟

1. The month started out with waaaayyy too much snow and the piles on the edge of our driveway were taller than me! ❄️
2. We gave our garage the easiest facelift ever with some magnet kits from Amazon. Soooo simple, but effective, right??
3. I learned what a pseudoscorpion was when one made an appearance on our bathroom counter. 🕷️ Eek! Completely harmless and incredibly small, but those pincers were so menacing!
4, 5, 6. Screenshots from some of my favorite poems in Rupi Kaur’s book Home Body.
7. I made sugar cookies for Spring/St. Patrick’s Day and I’m looking forward to making sugar cookies again soon! I think they are becoming one of my favorite baked goods.
8. Listened to the Lessons in Chemistry audiobook and loved it! The reader and story were both fantastic. 📖
9. Spring finally showed up! 🌸
10. A Relactation Triumph! Long story short, I breastfed my baby for 8 weeks, then decided I was done and let my milk dry up. Then I wanted to try again so I decided to try relactating. Nine and a half weeks after I started my relactation journey, I pumped a total of 5 oz in one session. This may not sound like a lot, but trust me, it’s a lot! I would love to share more on this in the future because it’s a ~whole thing~, but this photo will have to do for now. 😊

MOMENTS FROM FEB 2023

- Family walk selfie! 📸

- I love a purpley-pink sunset!

- Discovered the app and joined a virtual book club that reads only children’s lit AND joined a regular in person book club.

- Rug shopping. Why is a piece of carpet so expensive?!?

- I love the flocked trees, but winter has overstayed its welcome. Party’s over. Time to go home.

- The used-to-be-empty bottom drawer of baby boy’s dresser is now full of clothes he has outgrown. 🥺

- The drinks you can find on my desk on the daily. Water, vanilla chai, and Mother’s Milk tea.

- Currently reading Book Lovers on .app and loving it so far!

- Currently listening to B.F.F. and it is excellent! I’m so close to finishing and I think it will get a 5 star rating from me!

✨THIS IS 32✨

I’m navigating the intense whirlwind that is postpartum and these days are filled with spit up rags everywhere, sleepy newborn cuddles, more laundry than I thought possible, trying to change a diaper as quickly as possible so I don’t get peed on, lots of meditation, so many bodily fluids, making sure I remember to eat, constantly checking that little one is still breathing, being extremely conscious of my self-care practices, waiting patiently for the day when my baby won’t just stare at me blankly and will actually understand who I am, and trying to figure out how to make pumping milk more enjoyable (but, like, seriously, how do you make pumping not the most annoying chore in the world??).

And the spectrum of emotions!! I don’t think it’s talked about enough so let’s talk about it: I thought I had some sort of idea of how the intense postpartum feelings would go, but I knew absolutely nothing. Some moments are so wonderful and happy and fulfilling and I feel like I know what I’m doing and other moments I feel like I’m completely falling apart. A little less so now that the early ultra hormonal days have passed (thank goodness because those early postpartum crying sessions are exhausting), but the falling apart moments still happen, not gonna lie. I have to take each moment as it comes. Really good times and really bad times - it’s all there. And I’m giving myself permission to feel all the emotions. (Continued in comments)

✨28 weeks✨I can’t believe I’ve made it this far! The most shocking thing lately is how this little 2.25 pound baby (according to my pregnancy app) can kick me in the side so hard it makes me jump! *Like, excuse me, I am your mother!* At least he seems to be enjoying himself in there. 👶🏻
