Glass of Glam

Update & On Mondays We Link Up

Life Update

Things have been crazy around here – hence the reason why I had to skip our Monday post last week and why I’m sharing a life update this week. We visited Sidney’s grandmother in Boston last weekend, and had our realtor show our condo to potential buyers while we were gone. They worked tirelessly to stack showings while we were out of town, because anyone has tried to sell a house with a toddler knows, it is a lottt of work. Heck – it’s a lot of work even without a toddler!

We happily sold our condo within a week of putting it on the market. All the preparation and sacrifice we worked towards finally paid off. The stressful part is, we need to find a new place to live in a few short weeks. And like in the rest of the big American cities, the Chicago market is super hot. Homes have been flying before we even get a chance to see them. We’ve been incredibly busy looking at homes and communicating with our realtor and financial advisors to coordinate the next big move in our lives.

It’s an exciting time. But it is taking up most of my time and energy. But I thought I owed it to you guys to be able to come here to link up as usual. While this isn’t my typical helpful or informational post, the community this linkup attracts and fosters brings me so much joy. So here we are!

Here’s a photo of Sidney today. She is obsessed with her new rain boots and won’t let me take them off. She loves shoes, just like her momma! Hope you guys have a lovely and stress-free week.

    She’s so happy and absolutely adorable. Love her rain boots and can understand why she doesn’t want to take it off! Good luck with the house hunting and keeping my fingers crossed that you guys find the one soon.

    Congratulations! This is such a big event for your family and it’s also extremely time consuming, so remember to give yourself grace and know that for a little bit you might have to focus on different things. I wish you so much luck in finding the right home for your next step. The pandemic has made the market hot here again, it was a bidding war zone when we bought out current home 12 years ago, and now it’s similar again. Thankfully I have 0 desire to move again. Again, congratulations and best of luck to you both.

    Oh sweet Sidney, she is just so stinking adorable! I wish you so much luck on the house hunting! I remember when we sold our first house, I had a toddler and a newborn and I shipped them off to grandmother’s house for the first weekend of showings. Thankfully, we got an acceptable offer within 24 hours so I didn’t have to deal with all that again! I am sending lots of good energy out into the universe for you…may you find the very perfect home for your beautiful family!

When we went to Hungary for a week I knew I wanted When we went to Hungary for a week I knew I wanted to be able to come back and continue nursing Rosie. 🌹Our goal is 12 months, and she was only 9 months old when we left.

I brought along my @spectrababyusa pump with the goal of keeping up my supply. I started by pumping four times a day, but dropped to three after a couple of days when I realized that it wasn’t too uncomfortable to just pump 3 times. Two pumps were at the hotel, and one was usually while we were out and about (on planes, in restaurants, hotel sitting areas, and bathroom stalls.) I was a little shy to pump in public, but in Europe NO ONE cares. They didn’t even bat an eye. I wrapped myself in a scarf to be discreet, but I probably didn’t even have to do that.

Sadly, I dumped all the milk. I didn’t want to worry about storage, freezing, transfer, and cleaning pump parts like a madwoman. I just wanted to be as free as possible while still being about to feed my baby when I got home. It was a lot of work but so worth it! Any questions? Leave them in the comments or feel free to DM me! #pumping #babytips #nursingmom #breastfeeding #spectrabreastpump
