Today marks 8 weeks of staying at #safeathome for us Rices as a result of the coronavirus global pandemic. 🙏🏽 Although we are very thankful for our family’s health and ability to work from home, it’s been 8 weeks of two jobs, two kiddos and zero child-care and managing that new normal has been very…
My Favorite Podcasts: Motherhood + Beyond
I love podcasts! Mama or not, we ALL have way too much on out plates, too many things to do and not enough hours in the day to get to them. I always want to keep learning, evolving and growing but who has time for a book these days? Enter podcasts… the easiest, most productive…
New York City Travel Diary
Happy Monday, friends! As you might have seen on #instastories, we were in New York City over the weekend. It was a FLASH trip- we arrived at 11AM on Saturday and left for the airport on Sunday at 4:30PM- but it was really fun one with a lot of spots (and purchases 😅) worth highlighting….
Baby Bear’s DIY First Birthday
Teddy Bear is officially ONE and I can’t even believe it! This was seriously the fastest year of my LIFE. Is it just me or do second babies age faster? I swear he was born like… yesterday! 😭 Life has been absolutely insane the past few months and while I didn’t want that to get…
Our Newborn Essentials
Almost two years ago I shared this post about newborn must-haves– what to buy, what to borrow and what to skip. Having just gone through the newborn phase for a second time with Teddy, I figured I would update the list with the items I found the most useful in months zero to six and…
Potty Training, A Novel
Man oh man. Where to begin? Around 20 months or so, Chickie started giving us (what we interpreted as) clear signs that she was ready to begin potty training. Almost overnight our girl went from being super oblivious to bodily functions to noticing them and showing interest in learning what they were. It began with…

If you’re wondering what our birth plan is then this…
Raised Real: Well Fed Kiddos, Chilled Out Mamas
I’ve said this before and will say it again: the only constant in motherhood is change. Ch ch ch ch changeees 🎶 coome and come FAST when it comes to kids, am I right? Just when you think you have the routine down, in comes the C word (change you guys, clam down 😂) and…
Chickie’s Rainbow Themed Second Birthday
And just like THAT our baby girl is TWO.. How is that even possible? It feels like just yesterday we were driving home from the hospital at exactly 20 MPH terrified of anything happening to our precious cargo. Fast forward two years and our tiny baby is a TODDLER- the finger wagging, boss-you-around, make her…
Traveling with Baby: The Logistics
In her short 23 months in this Earth our little Chick has done her fair share of traveling. When we got pregnant, #handsomehubbs and I made a pact to try to stay us once baby arrived, traveling included. This has meant lots of trips near and far for little miss. Although I’ve written posts on…
