Postpartum Essentials
Are you a new or expecting mom? If so, this post is for YOU! I am sharing my postpartum list that helped so much in my healing journey!
Five months in my PP journey, and I am still healing my body. I want to be transparent about the healing journey because the idea that you should bounce back is just completely insane. Your body was not made to bounce back, but to bounce forward. It’s so important to give yourself grace, rest, and nourishment so that the healing process works with you and not against you.
Traveling with a baby
When Kyle and I first found out we were expecting, we were so overjoyed! We immediately started daydreaming about what life would be like with Dawson. We both agreed to keep living our life, but with a baby. We would do our best to continue our lifestyle, but with Dawson. You can still have a career, a life, and travel when you become a mom. Life doesn’t stop when you become a mom.
Mommy and Me Summer
I am SO excited to experience my first summer with Dawson. Being a mother is everything I ever dreamed of and more. I’m forever grateful for my business, which allows me to be present in these special moments with Dawson. This summer, I am looking for all of the fun mommy and me experiences, so if you’re local, you’ll want to save this post!
Resources that helped me prepare for my homebirth
One topic I get asked a lot about is my experience with homebirth, and I prepared. one of the resources that have helped me understand my body, this whole process, and not have any fears going into labor is the @painfreebirth course that I took. However, I also read a few books that helped me prepare for the most incredible experience of my life.
Baby Items for 0-3 Month Olds
If you’re a new or an expecting mama, you understand the pressure to add all of the things to your registry. There is SO much baby stuff on the market. Social media and big box stores make you feel like you need every little thing. Don’t fall for it. 90% of the items are a waste of money.

My Acne Journey
Have you ever canceled plans due to your acne or tried to hide it with loads of makeup? I spent over a decade trying to hide my acne, so I know firsthand how it can absolutely wreck your confidence.
Postpartum Nutrition
Postpartum healing is no joke, and it’s a lot of work. What you put into your body directly correlates with how your body will recover. You must nourish it. At only four weeks postpartum, I can happily say I am SO proud of my body and how it is healing.
