    Breastfeeding and Pumping Essentials

    February 24, 2022 /

    Breastfeeding is no joke. It is such a difficult thing to do in many ways- planning your day around feedings, figuring out what to do and how to pump when you have to be away from baby, storing milk, finding the best pump for you, etc. It’s a lot. With my son Lake, I was new to breastfeeding and felt like I learned something new every day about tips and tricks, what to do and not to do. One of my biggest regrets is not joining a support group (one I found on Facebook that I joined when he was about nine months old) sooner. I instantly felt connected to…

    The Skeltons: Family and Maternity Pictures July 2021

    August 17, 2021 /

    Thank you so much to Lindsay Kokopa Photography for the amazing pictures of our growing family. Lake’s maternity pictures were taken on the beach at Lake Michigan, so I wanted something similar to that feel but unique to baby girl. This perfect spot on a Geist Reservoir dock felt so right. The water was gorgeous and Lake loved counting all the fishies around the shore. I canot get over how big my Lake looks in these pictures, taken just before his second birthday.

    Maternity Travel Tips: The Secrets to Traveling During Pregnancy

    May 6, 2020 /

    I had a handful of travel plans already in place before I got pregnant, and the closer I got to those trips, the more nervous I got about the whole thing- How would my body react? Would I be so exhausted from the flights that I couldn’t recover once I got to my destination? Was it safe? How could I make it easier and less stressful? I started searching for advice online and I was frustrated to find that most articles simply suggested traveling during your second trimester. Ummm, not helpful.  When your best friend is getting married and you are the Matron of Honor and your husband is the…

    Must-Have Maternity Leggings

    May 5, 2020 /

    1. Foucome Women’s Over The Belly Super Soft Leggings These are my most commonly worn pair- I love that they come with an adjustable band to tighten and loosen as my bump grows. They come in five colors and are under $20! They run VERY small- Mine are a size large. They are soft and cottony (with a touch of spandex), great for wearing with tops or under dresses, and absolutely no worries on being see-through. I like them just as much for out and about (often paired with sweatshirts and baseball hats at cheer practice) as I do for snuggling on the couch. Snag them on Amazon! 2. Blanqi Everyday Maternity…
