I try my best to create healthy habits for my kids—but TBH, it’s never perfect. I buy quality groceries, meal prep when I can, research every non-toxic baby product, and make time for exercise, daily dog walks, and mindfulness. But I’m also not about to stress over making sure every meal is perfectly balanced or […]

Picture this: The kids are finally tucked into bed, the chaos of the day is tidied away, and you’re faced with the nightly ritual of packing school lunches. While I love cooking, there are moments—especially when it’s lunch prep time—when I just want a quick fix to get something healthy packed and give myself a […]

Life with two toddlers is nonstop, and between juggling work, opening another Pilates studio in California, and keeping up with everyday chaos, dinner often sneaks up on me. By 5 p.m., my kids are starving (hello, hangries!). And I’ve come to accept this isn’t the season of life where I have perfectly prepared dinners on […]

I became a mom earlier than most of my friends, so when they started having kids, they often came to me for advice. So, when I found myself constantly saying the same things to my friends, I thought, why not put it all together in one place? So, here are a second-time mom’s top 10 […]

Deciding to leave your job after maternity leave—for a new role or a pause—is a big, emotional choice. There’s plenty of debate about making big career moves after having a baby. But those first few months bring fresh perspective and clarity. For me, the decision to change jobs became clear after returning from my first […]

If your kids are anything like mine, you’ve probably gone head-to-head in more than a few picky eating battles. Whether it’s food being launched across the room, or the all-too-familiar “I’m not hungry” (despite them having asked for a snack five minutes ago), it feels like a never-ending fight. Seriously, if pasta was a food […]

There’s a lot I love about winter—the cozy sweaters, lingering for an extra moment when I can over a warm cup of coffee, watching my kids race around the park in their cute puffy jackets that we whip out sometimes in San Francisco. But to be honest, it’s also the time when everyone seems to […]

Flying with a baby can feel overwhelming—from figuring out what to pack to getting through security with all the gear and hoping for a smooth nap at 30,000 feet. And between the schedules, the unpredictability, and the sheer amount of stuff… It’s a lot. After countless flights (and a fair share of in-air mishaps) with […]

Which prenatal vitamin is the best? The first time I found out I was pregnant, I did what so many of us do—I frantically grabbed a random prenatal off the shelf at Target and called it a day. Then I stuck with it throughout my entire pregnancy. I didn’t think much about ingredients, quality, or […]

The moment the kids walk through the door after school, I can feel the bedtime dread creeping in. It’s pure chaos—whining, crying, refusing to go to bed, the “just one more snack” and that last-minute burst of energy when they’re running wild, doing everything except calming down or relaxing. Desperate for a smoother evening routine, […]

I’ve found so many clichés of motherhood to be true, one of them being that your baby’s first year goes by in the blink of an eye. There are so many beautiful, exciting moments, but somehow, the details of firsts and milestones can feel hard to keep track of. I wonder why that is? (Couldn’t […]

Contrary to what society suggests (and what I definitely believed), motherhood doesn’t mean losing yourself. Instead it’s a journey towards discovering your most authentic self. Motherhood has pushed me to grow in ways I never imagined, giving me the patience to see things clearly and the confidence to act with purpose. It’s helped me figure […]

If you are building your nursery, convertible cribs are a must IMO. Anything that grows with your baby, think newborn to toddlerhood and beyond, is an investment worth looking into. These types of cribs not only save space and money in the long run, but they’re also a stylish and functional addition to any nursery. […]

Meal prep has become an essential part of our week, and such a good habit I encourage you to get into. We cook most nights; one because we love to cook; two because it’s healthier; three because it’s more economical. And because we both work from home, that means breakfasts and lunches are also at […]
