Foods to Avoid in The First Month of Pregnancy
As soon as you notice those two lines on your test, healthy eating should be top of your list. When you’re pregnant, your diet should provide nutrients and energy, and be hygienic and nourishing. Pregnancy requires you to avoid some foods, some healthy, because they may contain parasites, bacteria, or toxins that could harm both […]
The Baby Shower Of My Dreams
Baby showers are important for new and seasoned moms alike. I don’t think of them any more as way to “get all the goods” that you need for baby, although if you’re a first time mom that helps. I think baby showers are a way to celebrate new life and show support for the pregnant […]
My Top 10 Pregnancy Life Savers
I see the light at the end of the tunnel… well at least the light at the end of the second trimester tunnel because we are rounding 26 weeks ya’ll! I’m trying not to count down because this is my last pregnancy so I should be “savoring” it right? Side note: I’m not the best […]
Gideon’s Journey
Happy Mother’s Day to all you loving, loyal, hardworking, tired, and blessed mamas! This day has become one of my favorite days of the year because my focus tends to be on what really matters; the joy motherhood has brought me. I pray my boys feel blessed by me; being their mother and co-parent with my husband Sam […]
Dressing The Bump: 37 Weeks
The sweetest thing happened when I tried on this dress. I walked out of my room and my 3 year old son gasped, “whoa!” He’s never commented on what I’ve worn before so I asked him, “Do I look pretty?” “Yesssssth”, he said with all eyes on me. That’s a “queen of the house” kind […]
Strong Healthy Smart : Mommi Products
It’s an understatement that moms are busy. Some days I’m so busy (or just tired) that I just end up eating my son’s left-overs at meal time. When Mommi asked me to review their “Mommi 3-in-1 product” I jumped on it! Each self-serving packet combines all essential prenatal vitamins with 15 grams of premium whey protein […]
Coed Baby Shower
There are many differences about my second pregnancy…including the baby shower. My first baby shower was lovely, but I was on bedrest at that time in my pregnancy and wasn’t able to really enjoy life as fully as I do now. Even with the aches and pains of the third trimester I’m not taking for granted the […]
29 Weeks: Pink Blush Maternity
This week I approach the 29 week mark in my pregnancy with this second little blessing and I’m reminded what an important week it is for me. 29 weeks isn’t normally an important week in a typical pregnancy but with my first son this was the week that I went into preterm labor from a […]
Sakura Bloom: Styleathon
Baby wearing is something I viewed with my first son as a necessity because of his extreme colic. This time around with my second child I’m looking at baby wearing in a whole new light; its a gift of closeness and bonding I can give him in his first years of life. As a therapist I […]
Living in the Sunshine
I want to open my heart up to you. I hope that doing so will solidify this moment in my brain; that I will hold onto hope instead of the fiction in my mind, and possibly encourage you as well to live in the sunshine. I just experienced a moment of reprieve from the anxiety that has […]
