Christmas 2020

It's the most wonderful time of the year... a really crazy year. It's hard to believe that the holidays are here. The end of 2019 feels like yesterday and at the same time feels too good to have happened. The carefree life we all lived before this pandemic feels so out of reach, I'm struggling to grasp my mind around it. It's not that this state of the world will ever feel normal, but COVID has impacted so many parts of our lives that going back to the way things were seems unattainable. ... View Post

Hey Heath! Our second baby’s birth story.

He is here! A little over two weeks ago we welcomed our second son into the world, Heath Joseph Rosenberg. I announced my pregnancy not that long ago (here) and also shared the anxiety I felt being pregnant during a pandemic (here).  This time around I was much more afraid of labor and delivery, partly because of COVID and partly because I was afraid of leaving Jude and something bad happening. When you experience the love of having a child, you know how much there is to lose. Thankfully ... View Post

PREGNANT IN A PANDEMIC: DEALING WITH ANXIETY, GUILT, AND WHY I WAITED TO ANNOUNCE

I only save the word "hate" for things I completely despise, like Donald Trump, chocolate, and a bad season of Real Housewives (I'm a passionate Bravoholic). So I think "hate" maybe a little strong here BUT... I really, really, really dislike being pregnant. It took a while for me to be comfortable saying that, especially as someone who experienced a miscarriage the first time they got pregnant. My heart breaks for those women who struggle with infertility and I try to be as sensitive as ... View Post

SURPRISE! We’re expecting baby #2!

G and I are thrilled to finally share this news... we're expecting baby #2! To say that 2020 has been a whirlwind is an understatement. And while there is so much craziness going on between the political climate and the pandemic, this little surprise has brought us so much joy amongst the sadness going on in the world. We're due late October, making me 31 weeks along. We announced our pregnancy with Jude when I was around 16 weeks - much earlier than this pregnancy. But being ... View Post

JUDE’S 18 Month Update: Our favorite toys, books, and more

Whoa, it's been a little bit since I've blogged. Between being a mom, trying to manage a job as an event planner during a pandemic, and oh yeah... just dealing with a pandemic, life has gotten pretty crazy. I plan to share a life update very soon, as well as getting back to a regular blogging schedule. I can't believe I'm sharing an 18-month update on Jude! It feels like just yesterday I shared my birthing story and the struggles of being a new mom. Every month I always say is my favorite ... View Post

REFLECTING ON MY FIRST YEAR OF MOTHERHOOD (AND JUDE’S 1ST BDAY)

The days are long but the years are short. It's absolutely wild to think that one year has flown by. Everyone says that when you have children, time is so fleeting, and it is so true. Time is a parent's greatest gift and biggest thief. You shut the door on so many tiny chapters that make up their childhood, only to open a million more that give you small glimpses at the person they're growing into. And while I honestly proclaim that every new milestone and month is my favorite, a part of me ... View Post

These two sure do love their trains and trucks. Sh These two sure do love their trains and trucks. Sharing with each other is a different story but… we’re getting there. 😂🚂 🛻 Watching the two of them interact together has been so much fun. From brushing teeth together to wearing the same clothes, Jude has been asking for Heath to be a part of everything he does and it makes me so happy. #heyheathjoseph #heyjudeharrison #thebadbergboys #childhoodunplugged #babyboy #toddlerlife #letthembelittle #boymom #brothers
Name a better day drinking spot. 🍹 There is not Name a better day drinking spot. 🍹 There is nothing like the magic of a summer in Chicago. ☀️ #chicago #summertime #summertimechi #chicagoblogger #fromwhereistand
There’s nothing better than seeing your kids bon There’s nothing better than seeing your kids bond with the kids of the friends you grew up with. ❤️ Always up for anything, Diana was the first friend to visit me when I moved to Chicago 2 months later. We walked the city up and down, ended up at secret bars, and even had a karaoke session to Mungo Jerry on the redline. It was only fitting that as G and I check off things on our Chicago summer bucket list (more on that later) we visit my favorite tourist attraction together with our families (that’s @dpvarroney and @gary.rosenberg far in the back doing their best dad stances! ❤️) Swipe for a throwback from her first visit, taken with a digital camera. 📷 #chicago #summertimechi #motherhoodunplugged #darlingweekend

We’re a little late on taking our 9 month photos We’re a little late on taking our 9 month photos (and we may have missed month 8 🤦🏻‍♀️) but there was no way we were letting this one go by, since this has been our favorite month yet! Heath is officially crawling everywhere and he is FAST. Though he’s still the chillest baby we’ve ever met, that doesn’t mean you can keep your eyes off of him. Once he sees something he wants, he’s determined to get it. He loves to mimic his brother’s sounds and movements (and play with alllll his toys 🤪) and thinks clapping his hands is the funnest thing in the world. 👏🏻 He looooooves to chat and say mama, munch on broccoli, drink water out of his big boy cups, and play in the grass. We’re loving these summer days with you, our little guy! ❤️ #heyheathjoseph #9monthsold #babyboy #childhoodunplugged #motherhoodrising
Sometimes the blurry photos are my favorite. ❤️ #thebadbergboys #motherhoodunplugged #letthembelittle #blackandwhite #boymom #childhoodunplugged
