👀 When Monday Hits Ya Hard At 5am 🐦 But SRSLY I think Ford got my eyes and apparently we have parrot eyes 🏊‍♂️ We have a pretty standard week over here with play dates & hopefully some home cooked healthy meals, but we also have some fun stuff like adults night out for Ford’s uncles bday on Weds & our first swim lesson @goldfishswimschool this Thursday! 🤔 In the meantime I’m trying to figure out how to combat these new early mornings, the light in his room hasn’t changed but who knows. Maybe it’s this whole almost crawling thing?? 👇🏻 Let me know if your kiddo’s done this too!! . . . . . . #almondsandasana #victoriacohen #sleeptraining #sleep #babysleep #crawling #parrot #green #takingcarababies #9monthsold #babyboy #eyes #sleeptrain #earlywakeup #5am #motherandson #honestmotherhood #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodrising #igotitfrommymama #theeverymom #lagunabeach
👩🏻‍🍳 This dinner took me about 15 minutes to make...the longest part was cooking the pasta: 1️⃣ HIT SAVE on this post for an easy weeknight go-to dinner to add to your repertoire 2️⃣ Saute kale over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil, salt & pepper. Takes about 5 minutes. I did this ahead of time and just reheated. 3️⃣ Bring pasta water to a boil and drop in a bunch of protein packed @eatbanza linguini which takes about 10 min to cook 4️⃣ While the past is cooking saute your shrimp (ideally marinate them in lemon juice, olive oil, salt & pep beforehand) over high heat. Just a couple min on each side until punk/crisping up. 5️⃣ When the pasta is al dente remove it with tongs and toss it in with the shrimp. Add @gothamgreens vegan pesto and give it a toss. 6️⃣ Serve it all up with a big squeeze of 🍋 . . . . . #almondsandasana #victoriacohen #pasta #shrimp #kale #pesto #gothamgreens #eatbanza #plantbased #green #greenfood #theeverygirl #theeverygirlathome #theeverygirlcooks #theeverygirleats #dinnerideas #easydinner #dinnerinspo #healthydinner #shrimppasta #15minutemeals #proteinpasta #plantprotein #lemon

👊🏻HONEST MOTHERHOOD POST COMIN’ AT YA TODAY👊🏻 😴 The other night I had a dream that someone gave me a brand new little baby. She wasn’t biologically mine, I was adopting her I suppose, and she was gorgeous. She had blonde hair and bright eyes and oddly reminded me of a miniature version of my niece. ✌🏻 I had two strange feelings/issues in the dream: 1️⃣ Since she wasn’t biologically mine I wasn’t going to nurse her, and she was to be my last baby. I suddenly had this really weird sad feeling about never nursing another babe. 2️⃣ I was overwhelmed by anxiety. The exact same anxiety that plagued me with Ford and that continues to hover at a low simmer. I distinctly remember thinking: what plan should I be instituting? Should I be following this book or that book? What schedule should she be on for naps? For feedings? 🙅🏻‍♀️ I woke from it feeling, as I do in my waking hours as well, no where near ready to even consider the next kid. 👶🏻 I’ve got many friends who are excitedly planning for baby #2 which is amazing, but for me the dream solidified that although I’m really enjoying motherhood & this stage with Ford, I am not yet to the point of forgetting the trenches of newborn life. 🙋🏻‍♀️ Curious how you feel/felt when thinking about subsequent kids? Did/do you want a long pause in between? Or were/are you thrilled to add more to the brood ASAP? . . . . . . #almondsandasana #victoriacohen #theeverymom #honestmotherhood #motherhoodrising #motherhoodunplugged #sahm #firstborn #dreams #weirddreams #motherhoodslens #motherhoodjourney #motherhoodunited #motherhoodmoments #newbornlife #ppa #postpartumanxiety #postpartum #sleeptraining #postpartumjourney #postpartumhealth #9monthsold
🙌🏻 We’re BACK!!!! ✈️ After 11 days away we are finally home. It was sooo much fun but it felt good to unpack, buy groceries and take a stroll with the @uppababy Vista not the travel stroller 😂 📷 I have SO many photos & moments & learnings to share, I honestly don’t know where to start! 📝 But as a quick recap: 🏔 We went to Sun Valley ID for a gorgeous mountain wedding & some time with my husband’s fam. 🇺🇸 Then we flew further west to California and did a bit more of the lake/mountain thing with my fam in Lake Arrowhead over the 4th 🏖 And finally, a culminating stop at my parents in Laguna Beach for a major shoe stock up at my mom’s store @tootsieslaguna as well as my must have fish tacos from @bajafishtacos 👶🏻 All in all, Ford was a trooper despite some 5+ hours drives, 4 flights, and sleeping in random closets and even a bathroom in the @slumberpod 😭 He warmed up to family that he got to spend extra time with and gave a good face crumbling cry to others 😀 But boy that kid must have known we were home yesterday afternoon because he was ALL SMILES all evening in Chicago, even the randoms in the elevator got a big toothy grin ✌🏻I’ll be sharing more this week, and keep your eye out for some home updates too! . . . . . . . #almondsandasana #victoriacohen #beach #travel #lagunabeach #saltcreek #saltcreekbeach #orangecounty #vacation #travelwithkids #travelwithfamily #sunvalley #lakearrowhead #theeverymom #honestmotherhood #motherhoodrising

📷 Making your kids pose in silly places is basically parenting 101 🤦🏻‍♀️ But seriously you guys I have 45k photos on my phone and about 35 of them look exactly like this but with some MINOR difference. Truthfully I never take the time to delete them & I feel like I’m so far gone it doesn’t even matter 🙋🏻‍♀️ Anyone else in the same boat? Tag someone who can relate and tell me what sort of pics you have duplicates of: food, dogs, kids? 🛍 Shop Ford’s track suit and other cute pieces in this print by downloading the @liketoknow.it app and taking a screen shot of this pic or use the #liketkit link in my bio http://liketk.it/2D5x3 . . . . . . @liketoknow.it.family #LTKbaby #LTKbump #LTKfamily #LTKkids #LTKunder50 #LTKunder100 #almondsandasana #victoriacohen #fordolsonburke #lakearrowhead #colorful #maltshap #diner #americana #allamerican #americandiner #checkered #pink #beige #bright #stools #9monthsold #countertop #parenting #4thofjuly
