My Life in Pictures

My Life in Pictures

Hey internet friends! I have been so MIA since February, so I thought it would be fun to do a mini photo-dump from the past few months to give you a quick update on life (not that a whole lot has changed 🙂). But just to give you some insight into our life since February! Insight 1 👆🏻. Being outside. Since the weather has turned warm (THANK YOU LAWD), we have been outside as much as we possibly ...

Quality Time Schedule For Couples

December 30, 2020 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Quality Time Schedule for Couples - Prioritize your quality time with your partner instead of scrolling through social media and realizing it's almost time to go to bed! This downloadable, printable schedule will give you varied, intentional quality time ideas for every week night!

Let me paint you a little picture here of an average evening - I've been spending the day with a pack of adorable, tiny humans, we get them all tucked in to bed, shut their doors, and breathe a lovely sigh of success for wrapping up another day with them. Maybe it was life-givingly awesome, maybe it was a giant dumpster fire, maybe it was a constantly fluctuating mix of both (almost always), but ...

July Chats

July 30, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Chats? Let's chat about that. Hello, friends! I want to start doing something new on the blog. One thing I've had to realllllly work hard to find balance in is parenting while having a career in blogging. Because it's a work from home job and I'm also a stay at home mom, the two get muddled sometimes, and it can be really challenging to figure out how to do both well and not sacrifice one or ...

Back in Business!

March 4, 2019 by Annie Chesson 7 Comments

Hello everyone!!! I am so excited to be writing this right now! I will say that part of me is sad that maternity leave is over because I just LOVED being able to focus all my time and attention on my bebes. It was a wonderful three months. Very, very exhausting and challenging at times, because...newborn + one and a half year old...but I freaking loved it. So, I'm going to spend some time ...

My 6 Favorite Apps for New Moms (for pregnancy and after)

December 26, 2018 by Annie Chesson 7 Comments

Ah, modern technology. Isn't it just the best sometimes? I know it's a hot button topic that our society is WAY too technology and social media centered, and I totally can get on board with those arguments in certain situations. BUT - when you are breastfeeding a new baby and learning your routine, an app that tracks which side you started feeding on so you don't have to remember when the next ...
