Let’s get familiar on a personal level, shall we?

Today I am sharing my own birth experience as a first time mom. Disclaimer, I am not shy in today’s episode! I talk about going into spontaneous labor at home, getting admitted to the hospital, my labor process and delivery, and experiencing a postpartum complication. It’s a long episode, but I hope you find the time to enjoy it!

Screen time. Do we even want to go there?

It’s such a hot topic in motherhood today and we’re not afraid to talk about it! This is not a heavy research based view but rather just some ways that I try to avoid or limit screen time during the day at home with my 14 month old.

Whatever works best for you and your family is the right thing to do, mama!

This is the content every mom wants - can dad actually pack the bag for the kiddos?

Introducing my good sport of a husband, today I’m putting him in the hot seat to see what he would pack in our son’s overnight bag. He does pretty good!

So mamas, let me know, do you count on dad to pack the bags or is it on your to-do list?

Everyone is talking about it, you are stressed about it, and your little one doesn’t seem to get it.

How many times can you doomsday google sleep at 3AM? In my experience, an unlimited amount of times.

Let’s talk about the dreaded topic of sleep in the first year and find a way to shift our expectations and perspectives!
