Our Birth Story // Why We Decided to Hire A Doula

It’s a kind of love I never knew was possible. How could I though? I simply wasn’t capable. I wasn’t capable until Sophia was born about 8 weeks ago…     As expected, new parent life hasn’t been all peaches and cream, and those of you who are veteran parents are probably nodding your head […]

How to Create Chic Maternity Outfits Using Non-Maternity Clothing

As a fashion-conscious pregnant woman with a very limited shopping budget, creating cute, affordable, and sensible maternity outfits has been one of my biggest challenges during this 9-month journey.

To Cover Letter or Not Cover Letter, That Is The Question || Are Cover Letters Still Relevant?

Keeping Things Clean in the Office, at Home & Everywhere Iin Between

I was never the clean freak growing up. In fact, my standards for cleanliness is probably just around average for an American woman lol. Let’s just say I can tolerate a certain level of mess. But recently, I realized that’s simply because I am unwilling to put in the work to keep up with

Debt-free Life February 9, 2018 13 Comments
