My Honest Feeding Story

This month I received an email from The Honest Company asking me to share about my feeding experience as a new mother in partnership with their Honest Feeding Stories series. They have set out to encourage conversation and end stigmas surrounding parent’s feeding choices. Seeing as we are coming up on six months of breastfeeding I thought it was a great opportunity to share about our journey:  Becoming a mother …

Coen’s Birth Story

WARNING – This is a birth story. If you don’t want to read about the gritty details of birth, I’d just go ahead and skip this post! Also, this is a very long post -but so was my labor, so it seemed fitting. As the end of my third trimester grew nearer, I began actually looking forward to birth – something I never thought was possible. At the beginning of my …

10 Must Have Items for your 0 to 3 Month Old Baby

Shopping for baby can be quite an overwhelming task. Who knew there could be so many options for… well everything?

Introducing Our Son

Coen Robert Baker. Born at 2:59 am on December 23, 2016. We are absolutely in love. I plan to write a more in depth birth story at a later date, but I can’t believe that just two days after I posted my last blog post about the third trimester, we were on our way to the hospital. We arrived at the hospital around 10 pm on December 21st and went …

Pregnancy: The Last Stretch

I cannot believe that we are nearing the end of pregnancy and preparing to meet our little boy soon. I am 38.5 weeks, so we could literally meet him any day now! I thought this would be a good time to update you on how third trimester went – hopefully I am not updating you in at 41.5 weeks still waiting, but we will take it as it comes! If …

We Are Having a Baby!

We are having a baby! I thought since I started third trimester this past week, I should really update this blog and let you all know that I am pregnant! The photo above was taken yesterday and I am currently 28 weeks along.  I announced it on social media back in June, but for anyone who missed that: we are due on New Years Eve (though we are measuring more …

Adam & Carly’s Wedding

Adam’s family was moving across the country when he spotted Carly while touring one of his potential new high schools. Needless to say, he really rallied for Kennedy High School over the other options! These two have been together since high school, went to college together, and were finally married this past weekend in Missouri. Their wedding day began with threats of thunderstorms, but the skies held off until the bride and …

Memories

2014. Sometime during the course of this year we were looking through random footage we’d taken on our iphones and decided to make a ‘year-in-review’ video. It was a fun little project that we worked on sporadically during the year and I think it turned out well. They’re my memories though, so perhaps I’m biased. ha. We spend a lot of time documenting other people’s memories and experiences for work, …

Trier Family Vacation in Cape Charles, Virginia

I sure do love living in Washington, DC but this Michigan-girl really misses living by water. I just find so much comfort in the breeze that comes in over the water and sound of the waves hitting the shore. A week by the ocean with family and friends was exactly what Dave and I needed. We rented a house by the water that had a littler private beach and neighborhood swimming …
