I decided a blog post about the top spots for a prenatal massage Charlotte and Lake Norman might come in pretty handy for the mama’s out there! I am pretty picky when it comes to where I get a massage. If I’m going to pay for relaxation, I want the whole experience. It’s hard to […]

We love books and have been to our fair share of the best libraries in Charlotte. While my oldest was little, I worked part-time, which meant my two days home were usually spent running errands, or enjoying downtime with her. When we moved from PA to NC, I found myself a newly minted stay-at-home-mom and […]
This post is one I feel pretty qualified to write. Ice cream is my favorite food, so I’ve tasted quite a few of the options out there. I thought it would be fun to put a list together for my favorites ice cream shops Charlotte NC in case you’re looking for a sweet treat. Best […]
Being a new parent is hard. If this is your first baby, date-nights probably look a little different, or maybe non-existent. I hope this list of Charlotte Date Night Ideas helps open the doors to some new ideas on what date nights can look like post-baby. As a seasoned mom, I’ve done life after baby […]

This sweet family has grown since I first met them. Jess was one of the first mama’s I met after moving here from PA and she welcomed me with open arms and the sweet southern hospitality I had heard about. To see them with their surprise (and rainbow!) baby was such a pleasure to be […]

I have recently started to really get into listening to podcasts. I know, I know… I’m pretty late to the party. Let’s be honest, usually my radio is ruled by two tiny humans who insistent on disney songs and the Trolls soundtrack. Seeing as mamahood + business are my jam, I thought I would share […]
