Get Organized with AboutOne
It’s that time of year, back to school. While my kids aren’t in school yet I see this time as an opportunity to reorganize my family’s day-to-day life. I consider myself pretty organized but there are always areas where I just can’t figure out how to get organized. For instance, my desk is almost always…
Motherlove More Milk Plus Review + Giveaway
For the first 5 weeks of Noah’s life I pumped all of his milk. And any breastfeeding mom can tell you that pumping doesn’t yield as much milk as breastfeeding. So I pumped a lot and often just to keep up with his demands. But near week 5 I noticed my supply dropping. I knew…
Noah Asher – Month Two
Noah is 2 months old! I really can’t believe how quickly he is growing. I’m already packing up clothes and cloth diapers that are too small. Seriously kid, slow down! At his check up on Monday his stats were: 16 lbs 24 in – long and 100% healthy I just went through all the 6…
The World Through Noah’s Eyes
While laying on the floor playing with Noah I realized how different things seem from his perspective. So I decided to take a few pictures of what he sees in places he likes to hang out. The ceiling fan in our bedroom. This is what he sees when he goes to sleep and wakes up….
Better Cloth Diapers Review + Giveaway
We’ve been using cloth diapers on Noah now for about a month and it’s going great. When we started using cloth with Jude we did prefolds and covers but we then began to explore other options. I learned that I really do like a pocket diaper best, especially ones with snaps. I’ve tried a lot…

Noah and I have had our fair share of breastfeeding struggles to say the least. For the first 5 weeks I pumped and bottle fed him expressed breast milk while his tongue tie issue was resolved and he slowly learned how to nurse. Now, he is a nursing pro but still take a bottle on…
Summer Salads at Noodles – Available for a Limitied Time
We don’t go out to eat often but when we do (usually Sunday afternoons) we want it to be something nutritious yet still tasty. That is why we often frequent Noodles & Company. They have something for everyone at a reasonable price. I really love their summer salads they have right now. I’m a sucker…
PEEK on my Porch
On of the biggest selling point for this house was the screened in porch. I love being outside even if the weather is a little too hot or a little too cold. I crave being outdoors. But with 2 small children the outdoors doesn’t always love us back. Reasons why I love our screened in…

Sleep with a 7 week old
Warning: This is NOT going to be the post you are expecting. While shopping the other day a random lady stopped to admire Noah’s cuteness. She gave me a sympathetic look and said, “Oh, It will get better. You will eventually get to sleep again.” I just smiled politely and nodded my head opting not…
