The world is starting to open up again and sometimes I don’t even recognize myself.
I hope you find something that you can connect with, that brings you joy, or that inspires you!
The world is starting to open up again and sometimes I don’t even recognize myself.
My second child, my kindred little spirit, this one’s for you.
An honest departure from my usual optimistic content.
A farewell to the greatest woman we’ve ever known.
A few of the things we’ve encountered that we wish we’d of known not to panic about.
All this waiting it had felt like we’d done and suddenly you were ready for us.
There’s just one little thing keeping me content in this moment… and it’s you.
Using input from other new moms, I put together a mini cheatsheet for anyone thinking of visiting a newborn.
A pandemic, advice from girlfriends and my own previous experience, had me make a few changes.
My heart is clutching each sensation of you so tightly because I know a part of me will forever long for these moments.
Mom guilt. It starts with those first few times you can’t get them to stop crying.
These are items I was given that I never thought to ask for and ended up relying on, or ones I wish I’d thought of.
Thank the higher powers but mostly thank science.
You’ve confirmed what I knew the very moment we met, you’re magic.
It doesn’t matter what they say, you’ll collapse into a cry and celebrate and fall in love with the reality of this new little being in your life.
All those moments are fleeting in the big picture; you’ll heal, you’ll forget, and you’ll maybe even do it all over again.
No I’m not going to “pop any minute” and no it’s not “definitely twins”
Officially my last day of teaching 30+ kids while raising my own.
