finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
For both of my pregnancies I have opted for co-managed healthcare between a non-hospital birth center and a clinic/hospital that my insurance contracts with. This definitely isn’t the easiest option, but I couldn’t imagine doing it any other way. Co-managed healthcare has allowed me to have immense support from my midwife team while balancing the […]

Since things are progressing and I have the plans to swoon over I’ve been taking little walks through the house. Our home. These walks aren’t […]
Dear Jemma, Every day you become more and more of a little girl. Each day, your wide eyes fill with excitement followed by new words as you discover bits and pieces of the world. You smile the biggest smile and laugh, giggle, and occasionally throw a wee little fit when life doesn’t go exactly how […]
Baby boy has birthed a number of new food favorites during this pregnancy. Lemonade, whether it be plain, strawberry, or raspberry, is quickly climbing the charts as my number one, but a few family favorite recipes are mixed in as well. Most of them revolve around fruit and I can’t wait for summer fresh versions […]
