The mom gig can be so tough. And beautiful. And stressful. And rewarding. With the pendulum of parenthood swinging back and forth daily and the array of conflicting information at our fingertips as to what is "right and wrong", it can leave you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and inadequate. Whether it is you and your partner gaining confidence and feeling empowered well before your first contraction of labour through one of our prenatal classes; supporting you through your breastfeeding journey, or coaching you through reading your little ones cues to guide them to find sleep with the least about of stress and tears. My mission is and always will be, to meet you exactly where you’re at, regardless of what that may look like and work together to uncover the solutions that fit your uniquely individual family circumstances.

There is NO denying that being a Mom is a 24/7 job. Whether you work out of the home, stay at home with your kids, or do a combination of the two, we see you. In this episode we chat about some of the challenges, and some of the beautiful parts, that come along with either role. Whatever your family dynamic, just remember that you are respected and supported here mama. Let's go chat!

Have you ever been in the middle of trying to navigate your toddlers tantrums and realize that the entire Walmart is watching you? Or maybe you feel the need to quiet your kids in the waiting room in fear that others will be annoyed of their happy squeals and giggles. We have all been in situations where we feel judged for our parenting. Sometimes it even feels like we can't get it right. But how are our children going to learn what is or isn't appropriate behaviour if we never have the opportunity to teach them? Join us as we talk about the awkward times we've personally had (like on airplanes!) and our thoughts on killing our kids curiosity in order to please others. Come chat, mamas!

Have you ever taken the time to learn what your personal Love Language is? We both have, and have found it extremely helpful within our marriage. But, did you know that your kids ALSO have love languages? Once you figure out what it is, you can use them to help them grow through the hard times, and feel safe, seen and loved every day!
