I pack daily lunches for 3 kids so I’ve tried many different brands of deli meat and cheese. These days I only use Boar’s Head Simplicity line of meats and cheese for sandwiches because they are all-natural and organic. Simplicity is a line of all-natural and organic products with the taste and quality you can expect from @boarshead_official.⁣
⁣
So next time you’re at the grocery store, check out Boar’s Head Simplicity line. It’s a great choice for purposeful parents and healthy families. #BHSimplicity #MadeBetter

Gender neutral nursery inspiration part 1. 🐰🐻⁣
⁣
The focal point of any nursery is the crib and rocking chair and I love this set from @babyletto. It’s clean, simple design work with numerous styles and both are functional, versatile and suitable for both boys and girls. ⁣
⁣
I’ve been testing out latest baby products and am working on a complete blog post. As a mama of 4 who has tried numerous baby products over the past 10 years, I will share what to look for, what to avoid, where to invest and where to save. Stay tuned! #mommydiaryhome ⁣

I hear a lot of misconceptions about family travel. Many people tell me they want to travel before kids because they were told traveling is impossible after kids. Many parents believe traveling with kids is just too difficult to even attempt. I too, used to think this and limited where we went when my daughters were little. ⁣
⁣
Well I’m here to tell you traveling can be even more fun and fulfilling after kids. Sure there will be moments of difficulty and stress, but isn’t that part of traveling in general? You will have moments of stress, but in the end, it will be worthwhile if you set realistic expectations and make the most out of each day. There is no greater life teacher than traveling! ⁣
⁣
Plus nothing tastes better than delicious room service in a new city while wearing matching bath robes with your little one. 🐻You can find more family travel tips and tricks on my blog, mommy-diary.com. #mommydiarytravels⁣

This was my last #babybump selfie before I went into labor. I was really heartbroken over Kobe & Gianna’s death and later that night my water broke. I waited for contractions to get stronger and it never did, so I had to check into the hospital to augment my labor with pitocin because my contractions weren’t strong enough and I had to get the baby out within 24 hours. ⁣

Yet despite my “birth plan” not starting off smoothly, I ended up having an unmedicated birth I dreamed about. It was intense but so amazing! The birth story is on the blog. Will follow with a video soon. Click the link in bio to read the full story! #mommydiarypregnancy #birthstory

Today was my first official day back in the home office. “Official” is a loose term because as a solopreneur, this means my “business hours” can be interrupted by any child at any given moment and breastfeeding takes precedence over deadlines as I find a rhythm in my new life as a mom of 4. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Even though I’m a mom working from home, I’m a professional and never miss an important deadline. Today I barely made the cut off time by submitting my work right before 6 pm all while breastfeeding and rocking my baby to sleep during the day. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
To be honest it was a bit hectic and because of it all, I haven’t yet processed the fact that my 3-year old is starting preschool tomorrow. It’s something I’ve been thinking about for some time but the start date has come abruptly because suddenly I realized that there’s no way I can work from home with a 3-year old and a newborn under the same roof.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Meanwhile, this is a photo of my distraction today. She is now 20 days old and already showing signs of becoming the perfect #instagrambaby because she won’t take her eyes off the camera. Swipe for more #babyfever content.😍 #giarumi ⁣⁣⁣#김인솔 ⁣
