Sleeping In with Reverie Sleep System

After having a second baby, life has definitely changed for me. Juggling work at home and managing a household is already challenging to say the least, and adding a demanding infant to the mix can be stressful. But the hardest part is always trying to the best mom I can be, and balance my limited time and energy with each child, doing more than just meeting their basic needs like feeding, diapering, or bathing – but actually enjoying those special moments that make parenting wonderful. Oh not to mention the lack of sleep that comes with it! I think that is the only thing that could ever tick anyone off – sleeplessness! I have been hearing a lot about various alternative remedies (like CBD oil UK) but I just have not had the time and energy to research enough about it yet. I guess, the lack of sleep too, at times feels good when you look at your babies smiling!

So, as I was saying, in order for me to really give my best self every day, it is so important for me to get a good night’s rest. If I don’t sleep, I find myself zoning out all day long, snacking incessantly, and reacting to little things with a much shorter temper. When Sophia was born I started sleeping in her room on a daybed, because I didn’t want to have to wake up Tom every time I got up to nurse her. Right around then, I got the opportunity to try out the Reverie adjustable sleep system, and it was a good thing because very soon I was back in our bedroom.

Reverie’s sleep system is a holistic approach to sleep. The system has two major components, including an adjustable base and a DreamCell mattress (or two mattresses depending on the style you choose). The adjustable base allows you to lift your head or feet up, and also has other special features like massage. For our king bed, we have two separate mattresses and bases, and each base has its own controls. The DreamCell mattress is completely customizable to your level of softness or firmness. If you are ever unsure about what firmness of mattress you want, one factor to consider is the “ILD” (see this article on why you need to know about ILD) range of the mattress. Each person has their own preferences and its a good thing DreamCell comes with different types to compensate for that.

Overall we absolutely love our new bed. I never realized I could improve my sleep so much until trying out this system. I think everyone needs to at least try an adjustable base system to see just how comfortable it can be. I also love the headboard which has a modern and clean design that works great in our room. We like to spend our weekend mornings in bed now – sleeping in and just hanging out – me reading or working on blog projects and Tom and Adam playing on their iPad’s or reading books. For sleeping, I can set my side to my comfort level without disturbing Tom. In the middle of the night, I just lift up the head to a seated position and I’m comfortably nursing Sophia without straining my back. Tom loves the zero gravity setting, where the head and feet are slightly lifted, so you feel like you are sleeping on a cloud.

Having children is never easy, and when you add house responsibilities, cooking, sports, homework, and after school activities – you have a recipe for one tired and stressed out mom. Sleeping well is so important to maintain your health and sanity. A huge thanks to Reverie for helping this mom get her much needed rest!

Last week we took a quick trip to escape the snow for some sunshine in Key Largo, Florida☀️ We spent every moment possible outside, Tom and Adam got their Scuba Diver PADI certification (yay!) while Sophia and I spent our days either swimming or drawing marine life and landscapes. This was my first trip after my sister passed last November, and even though I look so happy here, there were so many moments I felt the grief and sadness, as if it happened just yesterday. I am still figuring out how I want to show up in this space, as I have changed so much as a person since the loss. I just don’t feel called to post some of the things I shared before. Maybe that will change someday, or maybe it will just naturally evolve into something new. I think I will take this year to just process it all. (Even the idea of taking an entire year to think through something is a huge shift for my usually hyperactive type A personality) My focus at the moment is just living in the moment with my family and friends, spending time doing things that make me happy and healthy. I hope to share some of that journey here with you ~ thanks for following along ❤️
I had planned to shoot this outfit in collaboration with @lenacoutureofficial right before my dear sister passed away. Saba, the designer, was more than understanding if I didn’t want to anymore - but after thinking on it for a while I decided I wanted to - in my sister’s honor 💗 She was always my biggest hype woman. When i would feel like I’m not good enough or that I should quit (which was often) she would tell me I was unique and great and to keep it up. When I think of my sister, beauty and love is all that she embodied in her being. She expressed that on the outside also - as she loved to wear everything glam, bright & colorful, and full of bling. Hair done, nails done, everything did - that was Nusrat. For this shoot I took the time to get glam after a long hiatus - and makeup and hair took so long because I think I forgot how to do it, but afterwards I was surprised how I felt transformed. When I wore this gorgeous outfit that I know was designed with such love and incredible attention to detail by @lenacoutureofficial, I felt all of that beauty - like a walking piece of art, and very much at peace. Thank you so much to @divmophoto for capturing the feeling so well 💕
Ski weekend with my favorites ❄️❄️ So proud of Sophia for skiing on her own for the first time!
There are some trees with seeds that only grow after a fire. Their seeds are completely sealed with a resin that have to be physically melted off by a great fire in order to propagate. So to do we as humans, gain wisdom only after great pain and suffering.*
A month ago (and one day) I lost my sister and best friend to cancer. I am still completely gutted and broken. But, I’m also so so grateful to have had felt the love that now brings me so much heartbreak. ❤️ I am so inspired by her - and I will forever live my life to honor her memory. Miss you sis ❤️

Cozy for a coffee date ☕️
French. Toast. Egg. Bake. Save this recipe for a weekend or holiday brunch - it’s SO good and fool-proof! I’m not even a sweet person and I love it. The pecans are a non-negotiable IMO - I get honey bourbon vanilla pecans for this and it is just heavenly. Enjoy!
