Sipping into Spring with Mini Eggs

Life lately has been a mix of challenges, learning, and joy. The 6–9 month stage with my little one has been way harder than newborn life, but also much more fun. There’s a lot more moving, more curiosity, more little hands grabbing everything, and more things to figure out every day. Every day also brings new milestones: first babbles, first attempts at walking, and endless smiles that make the chaos worth it.

I’m still learning the ropes of motherhood. Balancing baking, working, mothering, and slowly returning to being an athlete again is not always easy. Some days feel overwhelming, some days feel smooth, and some days feel like a mix of both. I’m learning to celebrate the small win. Whether its finishing a batch of cookies while the baby naps, sneaking in a short workout, or just surviving a day with minimal meltdowns. It’s all part of figuring out what works for us, and accepting that some days, balance is messy.

I am excited to celebrate Izzie’s first Easter. I am of course a holiday mom and have had lots of fun picking out her Easter basket. We are also going to hide eggs around the house with puffs inside as she can’t have chocolate yet. Here are some of my favorite basket stuffers if you have a young one to shop for:

Lately, I’ve also started easing back into training again, and it feels really good. My body feels fresh, which I don’t take for granted, and I’m trying to focus on building back slowly and working on some of my weaknesses. It’s a different mindset than before—less pressure, more patience. Right now, I’m just showing up, putting in the work, and seeing how it goes. No expectations, just trusting the process and enjoying the feeling of moving again.

And in the middle of all of it, I’ve found a little personal joy in something chocolatey, festive, and comforting: the Mini Egg Latte. Whether you prefer it hot or iced, it’s the perfect treat to sip slowly while enjoying a quiet moment.
