First Month with a Newborn Favs

We are officially 3 weeks into this whole newborn thing. Time is seriously flying, but I wanted to take a few and answer one of the most asked questions I get — what is a “can’t live without” item for those first few weeks. Honestly, it is hard to limit it to just one, soContinue reading “First Month with a Newborn Favs”

Ryder’s Birth Story

I’m going to try to make this short winded, but no promises. I know everyone chooses how to bring their baby into the world differently & that’s the beauty of it.

2022 Goal Setting

I choose the following 6 categories to set goals/intentionsContinue reading “2022 Goal Setting”

I didn’t truly realize (& honestly probably still don’t know) what goes into those days of healing postpartum, but I have done a lot of research and learned from some friends. The number one recommendation was to have aContinue reading “Postpartum Bathroom Basket”

Oils to Avoid // Use with Caution in Pregnancy

One of the most commonly asked questions that I get are what oils can I use in pregnancy? Is this oil safe in pregnancy? Are you using this oil in pregnancy? or similar questions. First I want to start by saying that I am NOT an expert or a doctor. THIS IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICEContinue reading “Oils to Avoid // Use with Caution in Pregnancy”

My Diaper Cart

This was one thing that I was considering doing, but was COMPLETELY sold once I started following Karrie Locher on Instagram. She is a postpartum expert and was a labor & delivery nurse. She has a whole highlight on how she set up her cart & then a downloadable freebie you can get from signingContinue reading “My Diaper Cart”
