This post is sponsored by Cord Blood Registry ® (CBR ®), but the opinions expressed here are my own. After recently giving birth to a beautiful baby girl, it's safe to say that I am still reeling off of the magnitude of what my body has just accomplished. Four times now, I have carried, nurtured, and delivered new life, and the overall capacity of what that entails is ... Read More
Nursing Favorites After Four Babies
It feels like it's been so long since I sat down in front of my computer to write a new blog post. I have missed this little creative space of mine, but I also know that Lilah's sweet newborn days are flying by at warp speed, and along with trying to juggle my new life as a mom of four, I'm savoring every sweet moment of her snuggles and squishiness while I can. I suppose it ... Read More
Lilah’s Birth Story
Up until the day that I delivered Lilah Grace, the births of my children had been rather uneventful. I mean they were eventful, of course, but they were pretty textbook, and to be honest, almost easy. Lilah's delivery was a little more dramatic though. As many of you know, I went past my due date (May 3rd) this time around, and as much as I was savoring every moment of this ... Read More
The Final Bumpdate | 38 Weeks, 7 Days
{diaper bag c/o Fawn Design | maternity dress} You've probably noticed that things have been a little quiet around here lately. As I near the end of this pregnancy, I've really been trying to take the time to take it all in. As uncomfortable as I am, as exhausted as I am, and as over being pregnant as I am, I am still fully embracing the final days of carrying this baby. My ... Read More
Why I Decided That My Fourth Pregnancy Was the Right Time for a Maternity Photo Shoot
Here's the truth. For the longest time I thought that maternity photo shoots were kind of silly... not for other women, but for me anyway. I am by no stretch of the imagination a model. I feel totally awkward in front of a camera, I have no idea how to pose properly, and most days you can find me rocking a pair of yoga pants, so just the thought of getting all dolled up at ...

How My Fourth Pregnancy Has Been Different Than My First
This post has been sponsored by Palmer's, however all of the thoughts and opinions expressed here are entirely my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that support Kozy & Co. They say that every pregnancy is different, and after nearly four full pregnancies, for the most part I would have to agree. Sure there have been similarities between all of my pregnancies. I've ...

32 Week “Bumpdate”
I'm trying really hard to be better about these "bumpdates", if for nothing else, so that I have something to look back on when I want to remember all of the fun (and not so fun details) of this pregnancy. I have officially hit 32 weeks, which means that I have 7 or so weeks to go (give or take). It actually seems kind of surreal that we are this close already. My previous ... Read More
27 week “bumpdate”
I have been absolutely terrible about documenting this pregnancy. I think that it's partially because this is our fourth baby, and I obviously don't have a ton of free time on my hands these days, but I also think that it's because this is likely the last time that I will ever be pregnant, and I'm having a really hard time coming to terms with that. You would think that that ... Read More
Maternity Must Haves (the 4th time around)
I suppose with each subsequent pregnancy, my list of essentials becomes just a little bit shorter. I'm not sure if I'm bold enough to say that it's because I've gotten wiser through experience, or if it's simply because I've realized since my first pregnancy that you really just don't need that much stuff, but either way, the items that top my "must-have" list are significantly ...

Four Just Feels Right
{maternity dresses c/o Pink Blush} Surprise! That's basically exactly how I felt, the day that I sent Max off to Kindergarten and we discovered the big news. That morning, I breathed a sigh of relief and immediately thought, "I've totally got this now." After having three kids at home with me for the last (almost) year and half, having two at home felt like it should be ... Read More
