Hi! I'm Trista

I'm a wife and a mom of three. I live in Iowa where I spend my time snuggling my babies, chugging coffee, and avoiding the laundry. I'm so happy you're here!

She did NOT remember snow from last year! She loves the snow itself but is not a fan of the cold. Same girl, same. ❄️ #2yearsold #momof3 #girlmom #itsagirl #snowday

After 26 months, I know this journey is coming to an end for us. It’s longer than I ever thought I’d be able to breastfeed and longer than I BF my older two, even if you add their times together. So why do I feel guilty? I feel selfish for taking away something so comforting to her, especially when it’s not bad for her it. Why am I doing it? Because it is the only thing that has brought her comfort (specifically overnight). For the past year or so she is awake every few hours and needs to nurse to fall back asleep. I know it’s important she get better sleep. I’d love for Jason to be able to do bedtime with her or comfort her overnight. Am I doing the right thing? I have no clue but I’m doing what feels right for us, right now. It’s hard knowing I’ll never do this again. It makes it official that my baby is growing up. …Checking another thing off the list that I’ll never experience again, and that’s really, really hard to do. My emotions have been all over the place for months, which is common when you wean. I didn’t always realize anxiety and depression were common when weaning because I don’t think it’s talked about very much. Maybe it’s because we feel guilty when we wean. We feel like we could’ve tried harder to keep going. Or because we are embarrassed to have done it for so long. Whatever the reason is, there’s no one timeline that works for everyone. Just remember, we’re all doing our best to do what we feel is right for our family. ❤️ • #extendedbreastfeeding #ebf #weaning #weaning #weaningjourney #weaningbaby #breastfeeding #momlife #momtruth

One of Blaire’s favorite Christmas traditions is going to the mall to see Santa! 2020 is the only year we haven’t gotten a picture with him since Blaire was born in 2014. Although I think this is the first year we had to be in the picture since 2/3 of our kids were not into it. 🤣 Thank you to Northpark Mall for inviting us to shop at some of our favorite stores! While we were at the mall we were able to finish up the last of our Christmas shopping. 👏🏻 How much shopping do you have left? #NorthparkMallIA #winterwonderlandwednesdays
