Tis' the Season to PLAN!

As we approach the Holiday Season (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years) I've put together a basic blueprint of how to plan and get ready for each holiday so you truly can have a stress and worry free time these next 4 months.

This is statistcally known as one of the most stressful and challenging times of the year, but we are saying goodbye to that, and opening our arms to having a plan and being prepared so we can go on and have instead the happiest and most rememberable times of the year.

I've also included a few fun ideas (and stories) of some traditions that my family has done or I've heard other families do at the end of this episode that could maybe help you incoproate some new traditions into your holidays this year!

Happy Planning!

Not only is it the month of September but also this guest's name is September. (And get this, she isn't the only September, I know (; )

Baby Week is coming to a close, and I'm so thrilled to finish it off with today's episode. September is one of my dearest friends, and while I was going through my NICU experience with Beau, she was going through her own, with her son.

I can't wait for you to hear this episode and be as inspired from her as I was after we finished this recording!

Grab the tissues! 

Mikell and I sat down to talk about all things placenta abruptions, particularly her story.

When I had my abruption with Beau, the only person who I was able to reach out to and who knew exactly what I was going through was Mikell. She had recently gone through an abruption 2 months before me and truly was heavensent during that time.

A lot of this story though, I was hearing for the first time and you'll hear that, but above all, Mikell is AMAZING and all around INSPIRING and I can't wait for you to meet her!

Here's the backstory...

I've realized I've referred a lot to Beau's entrance into this world, but haven't explained fully how Beau entered Earthside, so here it is!

Also I explain my service project that I'm putting together with the help of some of my family and friends, to go to something that I found myself in, when I was in the hospital, and because of it, don't want any other women to have to go through it.

Sleep training.

Those two words can cause so much anxiety, so much backlash, so much EVERYTHING. 
So I'm going to instead talk about building a Sleep Routine.

This is a baby subject that I'm especially passionate about and hope anyone who is struggling with their baby not sleeping through the night will listen, because I WANT TO BE AN ADVOCATE FOR YOUR SLEEP!

To finish off our Homeschool week, I thought the best way to do so would be to sit down with my little sister, Alli. 
She is 11 years old, homeschooled, and an entrepreneur!
Sit with us as we dive in to what homeschooling looks like today with someone who is living it and after this hour, you'll be shocked when you realize, kids who are homeschooled are normal and I think Alli is the perfect person to demonstrate that!

Dont' forget to check out her cookie dough business and I promise when I say, the butterscotch ones are the best flavor she has!

Whenever I heard someone was homeschooled, my first reaction was, "Why do you parents not love you?"

Anyone who has homeschooled or been homeschooled can look at that statement and think, that is the EXACT OPPOSITE of why homeschooling is in our lives.
Over the years, I've become so interested in exactly what homeschooling is and I've noticed a lot of my close friends have too.

So after a quick search on Apple Podcasts for anything relating to homeschool, I came across a podcast named, 'Called to Homeschool'. I figured it was a catchy enough name that maybe it had some catchy content as well. I scrolled to the very first episode and within the first few minutes I was hooked!

After binging a couple of episodes, I knew I had to get in touch with Meg, and that is where this episode begins.

I can not wait for you to meet Meg and also, even if you're not feeling called to homeschool, I still highly recommend listening to this episode, so that you can see from another perspective why someone else might choose to homeschool.

Guess who's back? And not just on the podcast, but back on Social Media! I've been on a Social Media Detox for 100 days to have what I called an Intentional Summer and I believe I did just that.

Would I recommend a social media detox? Yes. 
Would I recommend one for 100 days? Double yes.
And I'll tell you exactly why!

Are you the younger sibling? Have you ever felt singled out in the family? Are you named after a spice? Well if so, you are not alone, meet my sister Ginger.

She is my built in, best friend and little sister! For a while there, we fought like cats and dogs, but now, you can't seperate us! I promise you after hearing her story, you'll love her as much as I do!
