6 Months With Kate

A few hours ago we got home from Kate’s 6 month well-check appointment. Everything was all good! Her growth and development are both on point, and she got her next round of shots (always fun). We played upstairs for a bit, and now she’s napping. Her afternoon nap is typically her longest, so I’m hoping she gives me another few minutes of peace so I can get this post scheduled. A big reason why I started this blog was to chronicle my memories with Kate, but I’ve been slacking lately. I haven’t done an “X Months with Kate” update since she turned 3 months old! Aside from being busy (which isn’t a good excuse because we’re all busy), sometimes I overthink the blog content. Not everything has to be “perfect” and not every post is going to be one a larger audience wants to read. And that’s okay! First and foremost, the blog is for me and our family. So more posts about Kate it is!

My Favorite Baby Products (0-6 Months)

A couple weeks ago, one of my Instagram followers DM’d asking whether I‘d published any baby product recommendations on my blog. I hadn’t yet because I wanted to live with things for a period of time before recommending items to y’all. Since I’m new to “mom life”, I wanted more experience under my belt. And to be honest, I felt a little self conscious sharing this kind of thing as if I’m some kind of expert. 😅 But, ya know what, damnit? I kind of am an expert now! 💁🏻‍♀️So, here’s my favorite baby product recommendations for 6 months and under!

The Liz List - October 18, 2019

Happy Friday! 🥳 Y’all Kate turns 6 months old tomorrow. 😩 I can’t even handle it. It flew by. Everyone warned me it would and it has and it’s wild. What’s cool though is she’s starting to be more interactive and fun. Honestly babies are kind of just bumps on a log for a while. 😅 Obviously you still love them through the boring (but adorable) newborn phase, but they really are much more enjoyable to hang out with all day once they start babbling and giggling. It’s been fun. Also, I decided I’m going to start doing highs and lows on here. It’s an easy way to share about my week + allows me to keep it real while giving me an outlet to maybe complain a little. Sometimes a girl just needs to complain! So here we go…

My Whole30 Experience (Plus a Weight Loss Update)

While we were in North Carolina in September, I decided to do a Whole30. I was frustrated by my weight loss progress and felt like I needed to set some (temporary) strict food boundaries because I kept moving the goal post. I’d start my week with the best of intentions, but by 4pm on Monday I’d set about that mental dance wherein I convinced myself I deserved that glass of wine because BOY was Kate a handful today. Can anyone relate?! 🙋🏻
