Mama Life
ABOUT
Hey friends! My name is Hillary and this is my daughter, Elsie. From being pregnant with my daughter to now, both of us have been figuring out how to manage day to day life during this pandemic.
My intention for this blog website is to share with all of you my experiences and adventures from when I was pregnant to now.
A little about me. I’ve grown up in Colorado for most of my life. I graduated Colorado Mesa University in 2014 with a bachelors in Mass Communication and met my wonderful husband that year on Halloween night.
I now work at Rocky Mountain PBS here in Grand Junction as Western Colorado’s Engagement Manager.
I’m just a mama trying to figure out my husband’s and my new life with our beautiful baby girl.

Cloth Diapers are In!
“While I was pregnant, I remember my mom asking me if I planned on using disposable diapers or cloth diapers. At the time I wasn’t exactly sure what I was going to use. She continued to tell me that when I was a baby, my parents used cloth diapers on me for a week…if that. My mom noted that it was a very messy process that resulted in my parents switching over to disposable diapers. Mom ended up using the cloth diapers that she had as dust rags.”
