finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
More than any other experience in my life, becoming a mother has changed me. It’s breathtaking to look at these babies. The ones who started so small, grew in my belly and still, many days, cling to me tightly as we adventure through life together. My Jemma and Max are precious. They light up my […]
She is not a friend. She is not a healthcare provider. She is a mother figure of the most ancient kind. Her life experience empowers you. She is a reassuring presence who will always listen to you and support you in your chosen path. She will remind you of those choices, and the reason you […]
Kari and I met in college and proceeded to become wonderful friends – we spent countless hours working together on business projects and if I know anything about Kari, it’s that she is a beautiful spirit and a steadfast researcher. Her story doesn’t surprise me one bit and I know that her research will be […]

The Pierogie Mama, also known as Bianca, first came into my life when I was just sixteen! We were both baristas in our hometown and as we finished high school and moved on to college we became dear friends. I mean, how do you not become friends with someone who greets you with a smile […]
Today I’m welcoming a fellow Natural Parents Network volunteer to share her piece, “Rewriting Birth – Making Peace with Your Birth Story“. Amy is constantly a source of mothering wisdom and guidance to me, I’m blessed to have her in my life! During NPN’s June Carnival I shared part of my own journey of embracing […]
I couldn’t very well share tips for writing a birth guide without sharing my own guide! It’s nothing glamorous, and unless you’re currently pregnant it won’t be interesting in the slightest. So, don’t feel bad if you skip your way on over to something better. As I mentioned in the tips post, I have a […]
