Surprise! We’ve been hiding a little secret for the past couple of months…WE’RE EXPECTING BABY NUMBER TWO!!!! I’m beyond thrilled to finally share our exciting news! These past few months I’ve been SO guilt ridden about not being able to share our little secret.. I have so many stories of exhaustion and nausea to share…
Surviving Winter with Baby: Must-Haves!
It’s mid February and there’s no denying winter is upon us. If you watch my #Instastories every day you KNOW we don’t kid around with the weather when it comes to Chickie. It’s SO easy for a badly bundled kid to catch a cold these winters months so we always err on the side of…
Kid-Friendly Playlists That Won’t Drive You Crazy
Happy New Year, friends! That’s right- this is my first blog post of 2018; something I’m feeling SUPER guilty about since it’s already January 15th! Work has been insanely busy the past couple of weeks and will only get worst until the second week of February when two of my big cases are scheduled for…
Being Present this Holiday Season
How I stay present with my family while still sharing pieces of our life with you on Social Media is a question I get often from our LTL Mama tribe. With the holiday season (and the flurry of shareable photos + moments that come along with it) officially VERY MUCH upon us, I figured I…
Bows! Bows! Bows!
Ever since I found out we were having a girl, it’s been bow + headband central here at #CasaRice! If you follow me on Instagram or if you’ve seen this post, you know I’m all about boys clothes for Chickie, since girl clothes can feel overly girly sometimes. Not bows though.. Bows I’ll take any…

Raising Charitable Kiddos
Growing up, my mom and dad always made sure us kids KNEW how privileged we were. They didn’t hide the reality of the world from us; instead, they used the world around us to teach us lessons about giving back and helping those in need. How? Well.. in different ways. One particular memory that sticks…
New Series: #MomLifeMusings
As I’m sure you’ve heard me say a million times in the past, my goal with A Little Too Loud is to grow a community of powerful, complicated mamas that empower each other to be confident in their “too much-ness;” whatever that may be. I want this space to be more than just the Chickie and SHR…
Hospital Bag: Less is More + STEAL ALL THE UNDERWEAR!
Ok, it’s game time: the car seat is installed, the baby clothes are washed and the nursery is all set up. What’s left to do to prepare for baby? Packing a hospital bag, that’s what! I, like most people, packed WAY TOO MUCH in my hospital bag. What did I actually end up using? Let…
Breastfeeding + Exclusively Pumping: The Basics
Fair warning, friends- today’s post is a looooong one 🤗 As I’m sure you’ve heard me say about a million times before- I SWEAR by a book called Cherish the First Six Weeks. Cherish is all about putting baby on an eating/feeding schedule right off the bat. I know this is not for everyone and…
