About

Hi there!
My name is Sydney and I am a single mother to the most beautiful baby girl in the world named Lily Ray. I believe that you can be a co-sleeping, baby wearing, nature loving mama and still be stylish and cool! I am not an expert in anything, but I love sharing what I know. I feel like my true calling is to be a comedian. You may or may not agree with that. If you’ve decided to stick around…yay! And welcome! If not, have a beautiful day!

Yesterday was a bad day. You know when you try so hard to push away your feelings and then all at once they come flooding in? Yep, yesterday I experienced a flood. Almost literally because of all the tears involved.
After beating myself up and feeling pretty crappy, I came to the conclusion that I only had one choice. I could continue to wallow in self-pity and succumb to the fact that I felt like the worse mother ever or I could keep doing my best and try to be better. I chose the second option. Because I have a beautiful little human to care for and she deserves nothing less than an amazing life and I will spend every waking moment making sure she has one! .

  • It’s kinda crazy how apparently it’s snowing in parts of the country. We are getting a bit of wind her in San Diego today and I’m mad that it’s not as nice as it has been. Maybe I should be more grateful? ☀️🌷🌿 #weatherwuss #spoiledinsocal

  • Some days she’s attached to me at the hip. Other days she’s exploring the house like a little pirate looking for treasure. Here she found a piece of wood and I could’ve sworn it was gold with how excited she was! Having a toddler is soooo exhausting but so magical at the same time! ✨ #toddlerlife

  • This girl would sit inside her dresser all day long if I’d let her. I’m not sure where she gets her love of clothes and changing outfits from, because honestly, getting dressed actually stresses me out and I’d rather just wear sweats. 🤷🏼‍♀️

  • One of the hardest things about motherhood is realizing you’re not in control. As much as you want to be, you’re not. These little humans of ours have minds of their own. Their own thoughts, wants, and needs. I was reminded of that today when I was trying to take photos for a blog post and Lily was not having it. All I could do was say #ohwell #itried #movingon give her a kiss and let her go play!
