This beautiful experience of breastfeeding my second baby has been even more amazing, since I’ve been able to increase my supply for a solid freezer stash!! This time around with aspen, I was determined to get a freezer supply built so that I could leave the house for a few hours without worrying about not having enough milk at home for a bottle. #ad And you guys, I’ve never pumped so much milk in my life!! I’ve been incorporating these @milkful_momma lactation bars into my diet, and the results are no joke (swipe to see my pump amount from one side today)🤱🏼 I ate one bar every other day or so to gradually help increase my supply, and was able to pump about 3-5oz EACH side as a result! Including an extra 2-3oz catching my let down with my Haakaa pump. I was never able to do that while I was nursing Izzy. It’s unreal what nourishing your body with wholesome ingredients made of essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants does for your supply when you’re a nursing mama. Plus, the texture and taste of these bars is amazing. Tag an expectant or new mama in the comments who would love to have these in her pantry! They even come with a weekly or monthly subscription — you can use the code “theminiapartmentblog” for 20% off your @milkful_momma order💛 #brestfeeding #fedisbest #normalizebreastfeeding #milksupply #breastfedbabies

Today is a very big day - it’s day one of my new weekly series #TMAthisishowwedo 🥳 and to kick start the series, we’re chatting about This Is How We Do: Friendship. Making friends once you become a mom is intimidating! But finding your people takes effort: it’s showing up to your door with spit up on our shirt and two coffees and say hey I get it, I’m right there with you, let’s do this together. Today I’ve got three amazing women + veteran mamas sharing their heart on making friends as a mom - how to do it, when to do it, and why it matters to build your tribe: @sarahwestfall: “We’ve moved a lot, so making and developing new friendships is something I’ve had to do often. I’ve learned I can’t wait for other moms to come to me, even as the new person. In order to make real and deep friendships, I have to be willing to make the first move and keep inviting moms into my life and my home. I can’t expect more than what I’m willing to give.” . @mamainthemidst: “Just show up coffee in hand baby on hip. Send the text while rocking the little ones. Lean into those friends who will accept you rolling in late with your babes in tow. Motherhood is amazing but can be lonely, so hold tight to those invaluable friends who are willing to walk alongside this journey with you.” . @wildflower.journey: “Be open to different. My best mom friends are those that I had nothing in common with before kids! We were so different from each other, but we were desperate for a tribe. Feeling isolated in motherhood forced us to look for any and everyone who was welcoming, even if we didn’t have many similarities before kids. Turns out, after we gave each other a chance, we were exactly what we needed.” . If you’re looking to expand your mama tribe, give these mamas a follow! They’re full of wisdom, realness, encouragement, and grace. And check out my stories and bio for valuable resources on making, keeping, and building friendships as a mom! XO

NEW SERIES COMING TOMORROW👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻THIS IS HOW WE DO: MOTHERHOOD + MARRIAGE!!✨ We’ve all been there - you’re in the thick of it, and pick up the phone to ask your friends, call your mom, look up Bible verses, Google and search Pinterest - trying to find a clear answer to *thriving* during the daily struggles of balancing marriage, parenting, motherhood, finances, working, time management, friendships, meal prepping, cleaning, going “green”, working out, getting enough sleep....and the first thing you ask or type in is: “how do I do/say/manage/balance/get ____?” 🤷🏼‍♀️ Girl, I see you. I am so right there with you! It’s hard to manage it all, while staying happy and sane. Can I get an amen? 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️ This is why I am SO excited to announce a new weekly series I created, that starts TOMORROW! This series is going to cover hundreds of topics that we all struggle with, featuring real-girl answers and encouragement from some amazing women I’ve met on IG who are now dear friends. 👩🏼‍💻 So turn on notifications for @theminiapartmentblog, then head to my stories to see some sneak peeks of what to expect + how Y O U can influence the weekly topics! Meet me back here tomorrow morning for week one of #TMAthisishowwedo 👯‍♀️ What is something you find yourself Googling how-to’s on? Drop them below, or in the poll in my stories — Your topic could be featured in this series in the coming weeks! Xo

Yesterday my littlest turned 2 months old 💗 Her and izzy have a lot of similarities from when izzy was 2 months old - same expressions, same laugh, same eye color too! At 2 months, Aspen is sleeping through the night (praaaaise), laughs a lot, coos and makes noises, and loves tummy time. Every time I look at her I can’t believe I created this beautiful little life, and another before her. Anyone else feel like time just FLIES during the little years of raising babies? #aspenjoyallegri #2under2 #raisingstronggirls #habitandhome

Mood when you wake up and you’re✨T W O✨ It’s been 6 years since we picked out her name. 3 years since she was growing in my belly. 1.5 years since I decided to leave my full time job to become a full time mom with her. 2 months since she became a big sister. Today I blinked, and I have a toddler. We woke her up with balloons in her room, Mickey Mouse shaped pancakes for breakfast, and later today we’re taking her to build a bear and then out to dinner and dessert. Our sweet, fearless, silly, sassy little Izzy June - how is she already two! She is growing so fast, and yet still so little in so many ways. Happy Birthday to the sweet girl who made me a mama 🥳🎂🍭✌🏻 #izzyjuneallegri #sheisfearless #girlmom #thisistwo

For years I dreamed of having a nursery, a bedroom just for my babies, a safe space where I could create a magical world for them to grow. And here we are, in the first home we’ve had that has more than one bedroom, where I could finally create a whimsical girl’s room for Izzy and Aspen. This is one of my favorite little spots in their room.✨I am beyond myself that I have daughters, and I think I always will be because God not only blessed me with one girl, but he blessed me again by giving her a sister. A sister is something I never had that I always wanted, and now I get to experience the joys of sisterhood through my own girls.💛 Swipe to see a close up of the prettiest handmade baby booties from @three.pines.co that we received this week! I adore this little shop, and Aspen has been living in these booties whenever we’re lounging around the house. They’re so cozy and soft and perfect for her tiny newborn toes! #nurserydecor #raisingstronggirls #prettylittlehome #nurseryinterior #targethomedecor
