Just for Mamas

*A special spot for moms looking for home and life inspiration.*

Welcome to "Just for Mamas," a corner dedicated to sharing my favorite finds for my fellow mamas. As a full-time stay-at-home mom and photographer, I have a first row seat to the beauty — and hardships — of motherhood. I'm always in such awe of the moms in my community making a special home for their families.

Here you'll find the ways I'm making my home life and professional life the fullest it can be! The MTP blog is full of photography inspiration for families prepping for their upcoming session and moms looking for tips on capturing special moments on their own DSLRs. I also share my latest obsessions: from home decor, household gadgets, favorite reads, gorgeous clothes, and kid-approved finds.

Thanks for reading!

My mama must-haves:

So yum I even sneak them! We have two green bean fans so this recipe is a great snack or side you can make ahead and use throughout the week!	My kiddos are obsessed with grapes and if yours are too then you need to immediately get this grape cutter from Amazon. Both my husband and I agree that this was a game changer for us!	Annie's most loved and cherished activity for the past year. Every major holiday (birthday, Christmas, Easter, etc.) I gift her a new kit. She spends hours playing with these.
LITERALLY our most made meal! My SIL introduced this to us like 5 summers ago and it was one of our go-to meals since.	Finished this thriller while sick this weekend. WOW. It was a page turner and so captivating! I love this author. Highly recommend.	Check out this influencer for not only fun fashion, but TODDLER hairstyles! Any fun or cool hair style I give Annie is inspired from here! Including all the products I use.
Perfect for meal prepping and my littles LOVE them. It's a hit paired with rice and steamed broccoli.	I've read three of her books lately and they do not disappoint!	The biggest hit in our home for my 15 month old and 3 year old. Promotes independence and keeps them occupied for a while. Doesn't cause a huge mess!
The only sippy cup my kids use! They just came out with this version and we love the colors. Great transition from bottle to sippy!
