Where I post
Hi, I'm Karli
I'm a wife, a mom, a coffee-dependent Type B, and a Communications PhD who does research for a living. I share the honest version of motherhood: the gear we kept, the stuff that quietly went in the donate pile, and the harder parts too.
Before our son, we walked through pregnancy loss and infertility, and that season changed how I see God and just about everything else. So if something isn't worth it, I'll tell you. And if God was faithful when I couldn't feel it, I'll tell you that too.
Most asked
Why cloth diapers?
Honestly, we started for the money and stayed for how much better they were on my baby's skin. The washing is the part everybody dreads and it is the part I stopped thinking about after two weeks — one extra load every other day. The ones we actually use are on my links page, code and all.
What are the baby registry must-haves?
Fewer things than the lists tell you. A safe place to sleep, a car seat you can install without crying, a carrier you will actually wear, and about twice as many muslin blankets as you think. Everything we genuinely kept is linked on my links page — the rest went back.
What has surprised you most about each month?
All of it, honestly. Nobody tells you that the thing that worked last month stops working this month, and then you are back to guessing. I am slowly writing down what shifted month by month, because I know a lot of you are in the middle of it too. Tell me what you are in the middle of and I will cover it.
Why do you talk about faith and loss?
Because it's the most honest thing about me. Losing our babies showed me what I'd been leaning on instead of God, and it taught me that His faithfulness isn't defined by whether I feel it. If you're in that season, I hope you feel a little less alone here.
