If you follow us regularly, you know that we are smack dab in the middle of the Whole 30. You can read about it here. While we aren't following the diet strictly with Jacob, he is enjoying many of the snacks and meals we're having and we're trying to make better decisions in general about what we feed him. 

For Every Step {a Freshly Picked giveaway}

Susan Petersen has been a huge inspiration to me for a while now. Ever since i saw her story on Shark Tank I knew that with enough hard work and determination I could make just about anything happen. 

If you are unfamiliar with her story, Susan built her company from the ground up. Literally. Susan started Freshly Picked one summer by taking discarded windows from her brother's window installation company, hammering out the glass and selling the metal to a scrap yard.
 She used the money from selling the metal to buy a bag of scrap leather at a yard sale and made her first pairs of baby moccasins. 

Love Grows Here {a sentimental handprint craft}

Jacob has three of the best grandmother's around who love on him big time, so when Mother's Day came around we knew we wanted to make something extra special and meaningful for his Grandma, Mimi, and Nonna.

Little Moments

A special thank you to Gerber for sponsoring this Mother's Day post and challenging me to pause and really reflect on all the little moments that make motherhood worthwhile. 

The first year is full of so many challenges and frustrations that even the most patient of us have those "what in the world did I get myself into?" moments. 

Getting Ready for the Whole 30
