Yesterday I shared I was “getting my pink back,” a term used to express feeling like yourself again and connecting with your own identity after having a baby. It’s a PROCESS, and one that always takes me around 9 months to start to feel.

A few things I did this time around:

- attended Pilates classes 1-2x a week until 37 weeks pregnant, combined this with @thesculptsociety prenatal classes at home

- returned to exercise 8 weeks postpartum

- intermittent fasting (more out of necessity due to having Stella home with me + working, but still helpful! 🤪)

- focus on protein, fiber and LOTS of vegetables + water. Typically this looks like a healthy lunch, light afternoon snack and dinner with my family. Yes I eat carbs, don’t want to live without them!

- cut back alcohol to a few drinks on the weekends, if at all

- was on Prozac before, during and after pregnancy (prescribed by my internist) which gave me my best and most joyful pregnancy and postpartum experience of my life. 20/10 recommend, talk to your MD.

- rarely eat out, maybe 1-2x a week. Mostly eating food at home which greatly helps me eat more nutrient-dense meals.

Kind of a boring answer, but this ain’t my first rodeo and I really tried to be patient with myself. You created a HUMAN, with all of its organs and it’s a freaking miracle! Love your body and treat it well. You deserve it. 😘😘

A full before & after of the boys shared bathroom today on CarrieBradshawLied.com (including paint colors and links)! This was a big project last year that I GC-ed myself after a full gut on our previous home primary bathroom. 🔨🛁

It was a lot of moving parts but so worth it. The @kohler plumbing pieces with @locustlanerugs and @weezietowels… I love it so much.

I spend a lot of time brushing teeth and washing tushies in here, so I wanted it to feel sweet and classic, just like my guys.

Comment BATH for links to some of the space, the full link list is on the website!! https://liketk.it/5fTxe

Took some cough medicine and crawled out of bed to see the girlies, and it was just the medicine I think I needed. 🤍

Summer date nights in a college town when most of the college kids are gone is… 12/10. 🤍🍣 It also means a lot of my sweet sitters are gone too and that feels personal. 🤪

Just two girls running late to church. 🫣🩷 But seeing Stella in my childhood and nieces passed down dresses really sends me. Too sweet! 🥺☺️

The silk maxi skirt is machine washable and fabulous. Comment SUNDAY for exact links sent to your DM! https://liketk.it/5f7E0

Some hair-washing-day girls chat. #NulastinPartner Who’s paying attention to their scalp health? Because it definitely hasn’t been me, and I’m realizing that I need to think about it if I want to maintain healthy and full hair.

For the past few weeks, I committed to using @nulastin’s vibrant scalp system, which includes the scalp scrub (smells so good), shampoo, conditioner and treatment.

Know that Nulastin is color safe, sulfate AND silicone free, so you can feel good about the products you’re using. Use code KAT20 for 20% off your order!

Another moment for this blue linen pantsuit because the way I have incorporated this blue linen blazer into EVERY outfit this spring. It is 10/10 -

Comment LIN for a DM with the link to shop this post on LTK: https://liketk.it/5e5fe

Dressing in linen until September, thx. #linenblazer

My mom sent me a video by @cocolarkincooks and I knew I’d be making this. Such a fab and EASY giftable recipe!

Comment SALT for the salt, my mini processor and some containers for gifting/storing: https://liketk.it/5dV4y #ltkhome

DIRECTIONS: Mix equal parts flaky salt and fresh rosemary in food processor. Pulse until mixed well. Add 3x more salt.

Save this recipe so you can find it later! 😘

We are currently working on all things home exterior, patio and landscaping, and our agreed inspiration often comes back to @zerogeorgest. So much peaceful, elegant charm. Endless inspo at this Charleston fave hotel. 😍

Is there a hotel or city that is your interiors or exterior inspiration?

To be someone’s mother. What an honor… and responsibility. Thank God I learned from the absolute best!!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms pouring into their children, making our world a little bit softer one kiss and hug at a time. Hardest and best job I’ve ever had, landslide.

Love you mom. Thank you for ALL of it. 😘

A little bit of life lately… sweet moments in between swim lessons, laundry and dishes. 😜

My happy hack this month has been NATURE. Planting new herbs and vegetables, fresh cut grass, blooming jasmine and roses. I’ve discovered the past year the SUN gets stains out of clothes. Wet the stain, let the garment dry in the full sun.

Of course it does. Brilliant.

What’s your happy hack been lately?
