#sponsored I know I am not alone when I say cooking during quarantine has been non-stop! Sometimes I just need a quick meal without a lot of clean up. With @lifecuisine, from the makers of @leancuisine, there is no shame in my microwave game! Their recipes include nutrient-rich ingredients, and they offer lots of meatless options to fit my lifestyle. What have you been cooking during quarantine? #DeliciousYourWay @lifecuisine

This is Michigan Avenue around 10am today! 😳Normally, I‘d be too nervous to bike this street but it was nearly empty. It was pretty surreal, especially given that this is a holiday weekend when typically the Mag Mile is packed with shoppers, cars, and tourists. 🚲 It was a nice ride, but I’m missing the buzz of the city. #chicago #stayhomesavelives #covid19

The New York Times reported that people are “panic buying Peloton bikes.” Is this you? 😆Honestly, I was blown away by how many of you told me you have one or are getting a Peloton after I first posted about it! What do you think of this Peloton-themed bike caddy? Want one? It’s created by a Chicago Area small business called @dit_workshops, and together we are giving one away in my Instastories right now!! The bike caddy is valued at $250 including shipping. Sales for them went through the roof after Peloton reposted this photo. @dit_workshops saved one so we can give it to someone like you! Enter in stories! 📷: @dit_workshops

I’m so grateful to be Theodore’s mom. The truth is, I didn’t feel that heart-exploding tear-inducing immediate love people talk about the moment my boy was first laid on my chest.
I was more in awe of him. We have it on video and it’s interesting to see my reaction. I just silently, almost blankly, stare at my screaming, five-pound bundle with a full head of hair. I was in shock, really.
It wasn’t until the nurse guided me into a wheelchair and handed me my swaddled little son that my eyes started welling up. My heart wasn’t bursting with love, to be honest. It was more an overwhelming sense of gratitude. How lucky are we to be graced with with a healthy son. How thankful am I to have experienced the safe labor and delivery I envisioned.
Of course, I am enamored with Theodore. However, it wasn’t until 3-4 months into motherhood that I felt that intense, unlike-any-other, heart-bursting feeling of love for my son. When it hit me, I texted my mom. I was finally experiencing that crazy love for my baby that so many moms told me about. She replied, “Now you know how I feel about you.” What an honor it is to be Theodore’s mom, and how grateful am I to experience love as a mother.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there. To the moms brining life into the world during this pandemic, to the moms longing to share their children with loved ones, to the moms balancing homeschooling and careers, to the women aching to be moms, to those who have experienced loss, to every mother — I hope you feel all the love. // Photo taken on Theodore’s birthday.
