What “self-love” looks like … for a Mom
Let me just start off by clarifying — I listened to a podcast once that differentiated the words self-care & self-love. Both seem so similar & most would say they’re the same thing. Somehow, someone somewhere decided that self-care should cost money, or rather be something that’s grand & really out of the norm. When…

“I ᴅᴏɴ’ᴛ ᴅᴏ ᴡᴇʟʟ ᴡɪᴛʜ ʜɪɴᴛs – ʏᴏᴜ’ʀᴇ ᴀɴ ᴀᴅᴜʟᴛ, sᴘᴇᴀᴋ ʏᴏᴜʀ ꜰᴜᴄᴋɪɴɢ ᴍɪɴᴅ”
This post is inspired by the first thing on my list. I was walking around the neighborhood the other evening & I realized just how annoyed this made me. This was something that never used to annoy me – in fact, I know I’ve been this person farrrrr too many times – & as I…

Guilty…..Of Mom Guilt
What is the definition of mom guilt? Let me take a crack at it first before you Google it. Mom Guilt, by my definition, is a big, black garbage bag of ridiculous emotions generally stemming from being a mom that never feels good enough or consistently feels like they are failing from the moment they…

The Real Postpartum Body
Why not hit it hard & start out as real as it gets – The postpartum body. I feel like it’s something that sure is talked about, but not talked about in a real enough light. When does our body become our body again? I chose the route of breastfeeding, for the obvious reasons –…
