  • Just got done sharing my breastfeeding/formula feeding journey on instastories and then briefly debated giving into this look and letting Rhett have a sprinkle or two. 🙊⁣ ⁣ Hahahaha! #momlife — One minute you’re spending hours researching healthy foods for your baby and the next you pick up the dirty toy off the restaurant floor, blow on it, shrug, and hand it back over. ⁣ ⁣ Tell me I’m not the only one.... 🤣 . . . . . . . . . . . #katesnumberones #momliferocks #newmom #newmomlife #indymom #indianapolismom #indianapolisblogger #newmomtips #momtips #mommemes #mommeme #motherhoodunited #breastfeeding #breastfeedingjourney #bestbabyformula #bestformula #babyformula #babysonlyorganic #formulababy #fedisbest #breastfeedingmama #breastfeedingprobs #breastfeedingproblems #9monthspostpartum #motherhoodproblems #motherhoodsimplified #motherhoodunplugged
  • When your husband becomes a dad... your entire world changes.⁣ ⁣ Yes, you love your husband before that sweet babe came into the world. But the moment you see your hubs become a dad, everything is just... different.⁣ ⁣ The first time I saw Ross holding Rhett, I cried. It’s like my heart burst into a million pieces of “googley-eyed-ness”.😍⁣ ⁣ Since then I have to admit... I’ve wanted to “accidentally” elbow Ross a time or two. Things don’t change THAT dramatically when you have a baby. 😂⁣ ⁣ But when I see these moments of these two holding each other close, my world stops... and I realize this is what life is all about. ⁣ ⁣. . . . . . . . . . . . #katesnumberones #marriageafterbaby #mommyblogger #indyblogger #indianapolisblogger #mommydaddyblog #postpartum #postpartumjourney #momlifebelike #motherhood #motherhoodunplugged #skintoskin #skintoskinbonding #daddyandbaby #babyanddaddy #newbornphotography #marriageblogger #motherhoodunited #mommytobe #newbornbaby #9monthsold #babyfashion #daddybabybonding #daddybabyfashion #husbandandwife #marriagetoday #marriageworks #momblogger #newbornmomblogger #newmomlife ⁣ ⁣ ⁣
  • Oh mamas.... I had a reality check today.⁣ ⁣ Sometimes, as moms, we try to act like we have it all together. We can even convince ourselves that everything is fine.⁣ ⁣ But sometimes it’s not... sometimes you feel exhausted. Some days you feel lazy (even though you’ve done a million things that day). Sometimes you feel guilty for being on your phone or for not paying attention to your little one every second you’re home from work.⁣ ⁣ Today I had a reality check. I got home from my job and immediately went straight to working on my blog. I, of course, gave Rhetty Roo kisses, but then ran upstairs and started working again. I did a load of laundry, created a few pieces of content, and finished a few emails. ⁣ ⁣ Afterwards, I came downstairs and felt SO guilty, immediately regretting that I used that time to work. I was upset with myself and wished I would have spent that time with Rhett. ⁣ ⁣ But here’s the thing.... I know myself too well. If I would have spent the entire time playing with the babes, I would have been frustrated that I didn’t get things done. Why didn’t I finish the laundry? Why didn’t I work on my blog? Why didn’t I just send those quick emails? The list goes on.⁣ ⁣ I sat there and realized that I can’t do everything, I can’t be everything. I have to make choices. ⁣ ⁣ Today I chose to spend half my time getting chores done. Tomorrow, I’m choosing Rhett and Ross. The whole day. And I’m not going to allow myself to feel guilty for one minute. ⁣ ⁣ I know that there are going to be days that I HAVE to do laundry. Days that I have to clean the house. Days that I have to do little things here and there that take away my time from my favorite boys. But knowing that I’m doing those things for them, allows me to process & understand that it’s okay. ⁣ ⁣ I’m okay. And momma, you’re okay. We can’t be perfect. We can’t be everywhere & everything at once. But... we CAN be a mama, a wife, a chef, a homemaker, a professional, a friend, and so much more. We just have to give ourselves the permission to.⁣ . . . . . . . #newmom #katesnumberones #newmomma #postpartumbody #momlifebelike #postpartumthoughts #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodunited #lifeasamommy
  • MAMAS... this is how it usually goes, right? 😂⁣ ⁣ Daddy claims he just needs 5 more minutes. And in those “five minutes” the babe is fed, gets a bath, gets changed, takes a nap, plays with his toys, chews on ten different teethers, rolls around the room three times, gets into things he shouldn’t, and melts your heart for the 18th thousandth time. Hahahaha! I can’t. ⁣ ⁣ AND... all of this happens in the room daddy’s sleeping in, yet he manages to stay asleep the entire time. I’m confused. ⁣ ⁣ Buuuuuut, I guess the daddies deserve to sleep in every now and then. 🙈😂 . . . . . . . . . . . . . #katesnumberones #indyblogger #indianapolisblogger #mommyandme #babyboy #9months #9monthsold #9monthspostpartum #postpartumjourney #momduties #mommyduties #motherhood #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodrising #daddyandbabyboy #newmom #newmommy #daddysleeping #realstagram #momessentials #momessential #mommyblogger #momlife #mommylife #lifeasamommy #lifeasmama #motherhoodrocks #momsofinstagram #funnybabies #momquotes
  • Giveaway closed! Congrats @dixiedarling82 !!! ❤️
  • FIREFIGHTING changed our lives. ⁣ On his first shift, I was a complete wreck. I spent 5 hours that night thinking through a speech I was going to give when he got home the next morning.⁣ ⁣ I planned to tell him that we couldn’t do this. I couldn’t do this. I was worried every moment. I was by myself with a baby for extended time periods. I was angry at Ross for leaving us. I was angry at him for putting himself in danger. I was angry about everything. ⁣⁣ ⁣ The moment Ross got home from his first shift, I was up (I didn’t sleep the entire night) waiting for him. He walked in the room.....and I began my speech. ⁣ ⁣ But, mid-sentence I looked up.....⁣ ⁣ I saw Ross’ eyes. They were brighter than I’d ever seen. His smile was glowing. His stance, prouder than I’d ever seen. ⁣ ⁣ He walked over to me and kissed me, told me he missed me & began telling me about his first day. ⁣ ⁣ In that moment, I knew. I knew that I would never ever say that speech. I knew that this was God’s plan all along. Ross was where he was supposed to be. I was where I was supposed to be. ⁣ ⁣ Rhett and I miss Daddy when he’s on shift, but we know that in the morning, he’ll be home to give us a kiss and tell us he missed us. And we’ll be there to hug him & tell him we love him. ⁣ ⁣. . . . . . . . . #katesnumberones #indymom #indymomma #indianapolisblogger #indyblogger #firefighterwife #firefighterwives #firefighterwifelife #wifelife #gallerywall #gallerywalls #postpartum #postpartumjourney #9monthsold #9monthspostpartum #firefighterflag #firefighters #firefighterlove #motherhood #motherhoodunplugged #lifeofafirefighterswife #babytoys #firefightertoys #momlife #motherhoodquotes #realstagram #blackandwhitegallerywall #babybeanies #firefighterson #momsofinstagram ⁣
  • This man. He’s better than I ever imagined. ⁣ ⁣ He cheers me on when I want to give up.⁣ He wipes my tears when I’m having a bad day.⁣ He makes me laugh when I don’t even want to smile.⁣ He tells me I’m a great mama, even though I don’t always think I’m good enough.⁣ He makes my lunch every morning.⁣ He brings me cookies... just because.⁣ He gives and gives and wants nothing in return. ⁣ ⁣ I remember when I first met him and thought he was too good to be true. I even called my momma and told her that Ross was “too nice.”⁣ ⁣ I hadn’t ever been in a relationship that gave me such fulfillment. I hadn’t ever dated a man that constantly poured his love over me.⁣ ⁣ Before Ross, I was in a very toxic relationship. One that made me feel small and insignificant. One that made me feel as if no one could love me. One that made me question if I was crazy. ⁣ ⁣ I spent my days and nights before Ross feeling as if I’d never find someone who could truly love me. ⁣ ⁣ The best decision I’ve ever made is to marry this man. He’s shown me my worth and continues to every day. He is truly my miracle. ⁣ ⁣ Unfortunately for him... he’s accepted and encouraged my divalicious behavior as well. ⁣ . . . . . . . . . . #katesnumberones #indyblogger #indianapolisblogger #indianapolis #marriagelife #marriageblogger #marriage #husbandsofinstagram #husbandandwife #relationshipblogger #relationshipblog #honeymooning #honeymoondestination #marriageselfie #indywedding #indianpoliswedding #newmom #newmomma #motherhood #motherhoodquotes #motherhoodunplugged #realrelationships #realrelationshipgoals #datenight #relationshipblogger #momessentials #dottiecouture #honeymoondress #naturalmakeup #mommabear
  • Crinkle paper is every momma’s best friend. Like for real. ⁣ ⁣ Before I had it, Rhett was obsessing over wipes and would growl if he didn’t get to put the bag of wipes in his mouth. 🙊⁣ ⁣ Now, we have crinkle paper everywhere... Car, changing table, playroom, diaper bag...everywhere. ⁣ ⁣ If you don’t have any, ya need it mommmmmaaaa. One of our essentials! I linked his newspaper crinkle paper in my stories! 💕⁣ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #katesnumberones #indyblogger #indianapolisblogger #momblogger #mommyblogger #indianapolismoms #thisismotherhood #postpartum #postpartumjourney #babyboyfashion #babytoys #babyessentials #nurserydecor #imperfectmom #nurseryinspo #nurseryideas #crinkletoys #liketkit #liketkitfamily #motherhood #motherhoodunplugged #9monthsold #9monthold #babychilling #nurserymirror #projectnursery #nurserywalldecor #changingtable #mommyessentials #momessentials
