💚 I Think We Found His Color 💚 ✔️ I can’t believe I’m saying this because I swear I JUST switched out all of his clothes but it seems we are almost getting ready to make the next leap! Ford is 8.5m and has been in 9m clothes for a while now (still mister long & lean) but I’ve got an amazing box of 12m hand me downs waiting to be sorted and that task is officially on my to-do list this week 🙋🏻‍♀️ Any other moms feel me on this??? 🤦🏻‍♀️ If you answered yes to the above question, tag a momma friend who can relate to the constant sizing up battle! 🛍 To shop this adorbs romper (size 6-12 months fits him perfectly w/room to grow) & 10 other items from Nordstrom’s Pop In for kiddos (including one item we won’t need for a while but I’m so tempted to buy RN) download the @liketoknow.it app and screen shot this pic, or use the #liketkit link in my bio http://liketk.it/2CBNA . . . . . . . . @liketoknow.it.family #LTKbaby #LTKbump #LTKfamily #LTKkids #LTKunder100 #LTKunder50 #almondsandasana #victoriacohen #8monthsold #green #nordstroms #babyclothes #overalls #romper #babyboy #fordolsonburke #babyclothes #9monthold #honestmotherhood #theeverymom #littlenomad

👨‍👦Happy first Father’s Day @tburke8 !!! 🙏🏻 We appreciate how hard you work everyday for us, how you always sing songs that don’t make any sense, and how if you’re home you try your hardest to clear your schedule during bath time. ✈️ We miss you when you’re traveling but Ford told me he will readily forgive you for it if you bring him home a souvenir from every trip going forward 😜 📷 by @cassandra.eldridge . . . . . . #almondsandasana #victoriacohen #fordolsonburke #tomford #tomandford #fathersday #fathersday2019 #happyfathersday #theeverymom #father #fatherandson #bestfriends #dad #daddy #grey #gray #white #8monthsold #happybaby #honestmotherhood #fatherhood
🥑 This whole solids thing can be so fun and so scary 🍳 From allergies to gagging this boy gives his momma a heart attack at every meal! 👏🏻 But it’s also amazing to watch his fine motor skills develop, his taste buds emerge, and his appetite ebb & flow like a regular adult 🧼 PS we finally figured out how to remove the fabric seat to wash it and it’s so easy! 🛍 Shop our favorite hanging high chair plus some feeding essentials 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/2CzNP 📷 by @cassandra.eldridge . . . . . . @liketoknow.it.family @liketoknow.it.home #LTKbaby #LTKbump #LTKfamily #LTKkids #LTKunder50 #LTKunder100 #almondsandasana #victoriacohen #babyfood #solids #blw #babyledweaning #ezpz #philandteds #babylist #thebump #honestmotherhood #theeverymom
🧢 I’m not sure how the “cup as a hat” thing started but we play this silly game a few times a day and it makes both of us giggle. 🌈 These stacking cups are so simple and so classic and they are probably Ford’s tried and true favorite toy. 🧸 To shop our other top pics for simple timeless toys download the @liketoknow.it app and screen shot the pic or use the #liketkit link in my bio http://liketk.it/2Csk3 📷 by @cassandra.eldridge . . . . . . @liketoknow.it.home @liketoknow.it.family #LTKbaby #LTKbump #LTKfamily #LTKkids #LTKunder50 #LTKunder100 #almondsandasana #victoriacohen #babytoys #babylist #8monthsold #colorful #cups #silly #hat #fordolsonburke #theeverymom #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodrising #sahmlife #sahm

💕 “My Love is so high and so wide and so deep. It’s always right there, even when you’re asleep.” 📚 After memorizing Giraffes Can’t Dance entirely by heart, I decided to mix up the storytime selection just a bit and somehow a sweet little book (quoted above) that must have been a gift, surfaced and has quickly become a favorite for the both of us. It’s a little bit sappy and brings me almost to tears each of the four times a day we read it but Ford loves it and so do I. 🛍 To shop our five favorite books right now download the @liketoknow.it app and screen shot this pic or use the #liketkit link in my bio http://liketk.it/2Ce2R 📷 by @cassandra.eldridge . . . . . . . #ltkkids #ltkbaby #ltkbump #ltkfamily #almondsandasana #victoriacohen #books #babybooks #kidsbooks #boardbooks #giraffescantdance #bedtimestories #books #booksmart #bookshelf #bookclub #bookquotes #love #lovequotes #motherhoodrising #motherhoodunplugged #theeverymom #honestmotherhood
🎥 On Saturday night my husband and I watched What The Health (I know it’s old news & controversial) but of course we were immediately like FML we are vegans now. 🥦 We’ve done this before, I’ve done this before, the whole attempting to be plant based thing. I know that for my good conscious and the environment I want to be more plant based. And generally speaking I do believe it’s the best path health wise. 🤦🏻‍♀️ That said, doing anything 💯 full on and cold turkey (no pun intended) is HARD. It involves time, research, and finding how to make it work without compromising other things that are important to you - like still eating pizza if we take a trip to Italy per se. 💪🏻 That said, My goal is to make a more conscious effort for 2 out of 3 meals a day to be plant based. A couple of years ago I stopped cooking red meat at home and I’m probably going to mostly cut out dairy, chicken, turkey, and egg as well - focusing on eating sustainable quality fish. 🙋🏻‍♀️ If you’ve got suggestions on how to transition or how to balance this sort of life shift, especially with a kiddo, I’d love the advice. Additionally, I’ve never been one who feels awesome on a heavily legume based diet so tips on that are welcome too! 🥑 BONUS: link in bio for a V old video of me making some delish vegan lentil wraps . . . . . . #almondsandasana #victoriacohen #vegan #veganism #goingvegan #plantbased #whatthehealth #plantbaseddiet #plantbasedfoods #veganfood #veganrecipes #veganlife #veganlifestyle #sustainableliving #sustainableeating #environment #foodforthought #plantbasedjuniors #plantbasedkids #plantbasedbaby #salmon #spaghettilimone #pasta #spinach #arugula
👋🏻 Hi there! In case you’re new here I’m taking a post to re-introduce myself: I’m Victoria, it’s nice to insta-meet you 💻 I started this handle & my blog in April of 2017 mostly focusing on cooking, health, wellness, and how to take small steps every day to be a more conscious citizen of the world. 🤱🏻 Over the past two years I’ve become a mom, moved homes, and my husband and I are working on another home renovation right now that we’ll be moving into later this year 🧘🏻‍♀️ I have an 8 month old son, Ford, who I am home with all day errrrryday. Before that I was a full time yoga teacher and before that I worked for 5.5 years at @pepsico in Supply Chain & Shopper Marketing. ☀️ I grew up on California & Florida, went to college at @smudallas where I got a masters in Engineering and ended up in the Windy City where I’ve been ever since ❤️ I love good food, a tidy house, smooches from my LO, getting in a 20 minute @onepeloton workout everyday, and laughing hard at my husband’s (often times unintentionally) hilarious comments on life - the other day I had to giggle when he told me I was folding my beloved picnic blanket as if it was an American flag 😂 💆🏻‍♀️ As I’ve talked about on here I struggled hard with Post Partum Anxiety and quite honestly didn’t enjoy the motherhood thing until 5-6 months into it. Now it’s amazing, challenging, but amazing. 💪🏻 I’m a cancer survivor, a Democrat, and an avid book worm (I get a little bit of anxiety if I don’t have a new book to read as soon as I finish the one I’m on.) I’m currently binging on Call The Midwife on Netflix and The Handmaids Tail on Hulu. 🙋🏻‍♀️ I’m a pretty open book and love connecting with people on here so comment below or send me a DM to introduce yourself or ask any questions! 📷 by @cassandra.eldridge #almondsandasana #victoriacohen
