Nov 15 Loving the newborn stage..with Taking Cara Babies infant sleep class

An honest review of Taking Cara Babies “Will I Ever Sleep Again?” Infant sleep course

Hi Friends! It’s been a year since I’ve written to you. In that time, I’ve become a momma and our son is about to turn 1 in just a few days. This has been the most incredible year of my life, of course against the backdrop of one of the hardest years for absolutely everyone in the world as we navigate this global pandemic.

Now that I’ve got 1 year of momma experience under my belt, I want to revisit some of the most important topics from both my son’s first year and our first year of being parents! So this will be my first blog in a series all about motherhood.

Dec 11 Walking to wellness

Hello readers! I'm super excited to share this post with you all, as to me it exemplifies part of the original vision Allison I had for the blog: focusing on things (no matter how big or small) that we are loving lately. So…what have I been loving lately?! My mom's commitment to her cardiovascular health and her development of a walking exercise routine! I really wanted to feature her because she exemplifies that small consistent changes can add up to some of the biggest results. I truly couldn't be prouder of her!

Oct 29 World Stroke Day

health, heart, lifestyle, stories

Today is World Stroke Day and something I feel compelled to speak out, despite my hesitancy because it’s quite emotional and private. I’m still wrestling with the fact that stroke is something that has effected me. It’s important though to share our stories, embrace our vulnerabilities, and get important conversations started. World Stroke Day seeks to raise awareness for stroke, the second leading cause of death. A stroke can happen to anyone, at anytime and anywhere. Young or old, completely healthy or suffering from a pre-existing condition, anyone can be effected. With stroke it’s important to act FAST and to know what to look out for. I’d urge you all to go to https://www.worldstrokecampaign.org for a variety of resources. It takes just a few minutes to educate yourself and you just might save a life!

So…it’s been a while! HELLO! I haven’t written in such a long time for a few reasons but the primary one being….(drumroll please)…. I’M PREGNANT! My husband and I found out earlier this spring that we’re going to have a baby in December, which is to be quite honest is the absolute best thing that has ever happened to me and my husband and our literal dream come true.

The universe truly works in magical ways. Roughly a year and a half ago I was at one of my all-time lowest points. It certainly didn’t help that I got in not one, but two, car accidents within 5 weeks. The second accident was pretty traumatizing and totaled not only my car, but the remainder of the spirit I was fighting to hold on to.

Mar 26 The body

This week I want to talk about something we carry with us everywhere, but hardly ever think about. Unless we’re complaining about it! Or pinching and prodding it.

OUR BODIES!

Spring is here and as soon as it rolls into summer we can all bet that every advertisement will be about bikinis, losing weight, and getting rid of cellulite, blemishes and any other perceived imperfection a body can have. In conversations with friends, the topics will be “I need to lose 10lb or I have to get rid of these stretch marks before I can show my legs.” And I want to head this off at the pass, so to speak. I know that the way the media landscape is, this post may be the only positive thing you read about your body this whole season. Even ads and organizations claiming to be body positive resort to tactics that trick us into feeling bad, all so we’ll buy the latest bra, skin cream, or eyeshadow.

The past six weeks have been nothing but beautiful chaos. The last time I wrote we were gearing up for heart month and all that goes along with it. There truly aren’t adequate words to express how much all of this has come to mean to us. However, if i had to pick one word to begin to describe things, it would definitely be passion.

Jan 15 Rethink the Resolution

Hi Loving Lately readers!!I I start off this post with just so much love for you for taking the time to read our words. We are just so grateful for you.

OK so we’re a few weeks into the year…and I want to talk about resolutions. This post is as much for me as it is for you, because I want to rethink the concept of resolutions and I hope you’ll join me in doing so.

This is the time of year that many of us choose to make resolutions, goals, dreams for the year and you know here at Loving Lately we LOVE personal growth and that is essentially all we write about. BUT…I think the culture around resolutions kind of stinks to be honest. Lose weight, spend less, get a promotion..these are some of the most common resolutions. And those are admirable ones, don’t get me wrong, but I think we can have a much better 2019 if we take a second to reframe them.
