instagram Archives - Moments of Musing

I have admittedly been a bit absent from here. February threw me through a loop with all of us being sick at one point or another. Before my sinus infection, I hadn’t had a fever in as long as I can remember so having two within as many days definitely forced me to take a step back.

And then, I don’t know, my emotions spiraled and I kind of did not gather my bearings until recently. I explain why towards the end of this post.

Here is what I’ve been up to recently via instagram. (If you don’t follow me, you should because I update that the most frequently of all my channels and platforms.)

1. Moments of Musing turned 2!

March is Spring’s month, and therefore, symbolizes a month of new beginnings. Fresh starts. Change. March is also Women’s History Month. It is therefore fitting that two years ago this month I re-launched my blog, which celebrates all things woman, mom, wife, and more.

2. I have a few cool projects coming up and I’ve been working harder than ever to make my dreams a reality.

“Women, we are nurturers, that’s what’s expected of us. We have our children. We have our husbands if we are lucky enough, and our partners, whoever. But we have to find personal fulfillment. We have to follow our dreams. We have to say, ‘I can do that and I should be allowed to do that.'” – Glen Close

This year, I’m filling my heart with love AND I’m following my dreams. I am excited, I am nervous and I am READY!

3. Motherhood has been wonderful … funny, embarrasing, frustrating, stressful but always beautiful and full of SO MUCH LOVE (and blowouts).

My toddler threw open my public restroom stall door at breakfast over the weekend leaving me a bit embarrassed (and cracking up) and a fellow mom (total stranger) having to catch said door so it didn’t slam into her + her child. #thisismotherhood

4. WE’RE GOING ON A TROPICAL VACATION SOON!

Since the summer isn’t coming to us anytime soon we decided we’ll go to it! We recently booked our upcoming island vacation and I’m SO excited! Move over weaning + winter blues …this mama is trading you in for a different kind of blues…

5. I am happy with my postpartum body progress… it’s almost hard to believe I weigh the least I have since around my wedding! (I’m sharing a more in-depth postpartum body update in my instagram stories today.)

Mirror, mirror, know what I see? A magical body ✨ It’s carried and birthed two babies, via two C-sections, & has fed them both. I’m just so grateful for the magic of it all. 💕Getting ready for our upcoming island vacation, which means stocking up on swim suits! Funny how I used to be more self-conscious pre-baby. Counting down the days!

When I first launched my Instagram account as a passion project, I am not sure I intended for it to be what it’s become (also a source of income)—partly because I didn’t know it could and partly because I didn’t think it could.

Here is where I say to you: take that chance you’ve always wanted to! You never know what good can come of it.

I know from the outside, it might seem like I’m just pushing products on Instagram and sometimes on here, so I want to take time to explain and be clear: my blog and my Instagram account were started and remain ways to connect women and moms, and frankly everyone seeking

to be empowered,

to relate,

to feel happy,

to be yourself.

I try to be authentic 100% of the time. And that means I choose which projects to work on and which products to advertise. I never sponsor something I don’t believe in or trust. And I still try to keep it personal and be myself along the way by offering non-sponsored writing and personal tidbits in my sponsored work.

I hope you understand and even enjoy visiting my feed.

If you do enjoy being on my feed, consider following along. If you follow me and/or like my photos, thanks for supporting me and sticking with me. It is very much appreciated!
