Well, it’s been quite some time since I’ve written on here. I thought I might have done some writing over the past two years, but it turns out, I just wanted to do some living. But here goes with my first story, and it’s a good one! Our fifth sweet baby’s birth.This was our third baby that we didn’t find out the gender for during the anatomy scan. And our tech didn’t give any inclination away one way or the other. Her face and voice were perfectly stoic yet delighted for us (and…
Well, it’s been almost THREE whole months since I’ve been away from Instagram, so I figured I’d give a little update about life since our little man, Thatcher, also just turned one. I can’t believe what a quick year it was. He was born as soon as lockdown started here in South Carolina last year. Kevin and Hazel happened to have a tiny cough from allergies, but Covid was so unknown at that point, so he had to wear a mask even at our homebirth ha! And now, here we are a year later, with this…
If you don’t feel like reading all the reasoning behind me leaving the platform, here’s the long short. I’m taking a long break from Instagram/the business I’ve created over the past 5, almost 6 years, because I’ve felt called to. Simple as that. I know that may seem silly to so many of you, but I’ve literally been called away from it to put more effort into our family without so many distractions. And at the end of the day, Instagram is a distraction, and not something I’m willing to sacrifice my…
If you’ve been following along, you know that I’ve been working hard over the past 3 months doing the Glow Body Post Pregnancy Plan. It’s been such a great plan, and I’m so thankful to have found Ashley (the owner of Glow Body PT) on Instagram. I actually found out about her via my favorite homebirth podcast (Happy Homebirth Podcast), and I KNEW I had to check her out, because her plan specifically helps to close your diastasis recti. Now, if you’ve never been pregnant or are one of the few lucky ones who this…
Over the past few years, we’ve made a cognizant effort to really live a cleaner lifestyle. We are FAR from perfect, and still use too many disposable products, but we’re slowly cleaning it up. So, I wanted to share with you some easy, totally doable ways to just jump in and start today if you’re overwhelmed with everything that “needs” to be done. I want you to know that there’s no way to do it all overnight. It’s a huge overhaul, especially if you like to default to disposable plates when you just don’t…
Winnie was born in her bag of waters. It’s been such a weird time with the ever looming Coronavirus surrounding us for the past month. So many pregnant women in fear for their lives and their baby’s lives. And rightfully so! I wouldn’t want to go into a hospital right now worrying about putting my whole family’s health at risk. At the beginning of this pregnancy, I was with a regular OBGYN that delivers at one of our hospitals, because I had no clue what to do since our birth center had just closed down last…
