Just In Case.
I was leaving my 6 week post partum checkup lugging a baby carrier and herding a two other children out the door. My midwife stopped me and asked ‘Are you thinking of having any more?’ I laughed. I always think it’s strange when people ask that question. I’m not sure if people just want to…

DIY Tub Scrub
About 5 years ago I was cleaning the bathroom with a cleaner I had on hand. 24 hours later, I was hurting. I had a headache, nausea, my arms were numb and tingly. I instantly knew that it was a reaction to the cleaning solution I was using and I started researching. I learned all…

Strength.
If any word could describe me in my post-partum days and months with my sweet baby #3 it would be weak. I understand fully that my body had accomplished a remarkable task. I had just come off a 9 month journey of growing, nurturing and changing. I had also come out of that pregnancy so…

Elodie’s {Birth} Day
I wrote about Liam’s birthday after he was born and I promised myself and any future children that I would stay on top of things like printing pictures and documenting life. I’m getting it done, just nearly three months after the fact… A week before Elodie was born, I was able to see her in…

Liam’s {Birth} Day
I woke up on March 24th with high ambition. I was going to clean the house, Jeremy and I were going to go on a walk (Jeremy actually wanted to go golfing and have me walk along…) and we were going to meet my parents at 5:30 for dinner. I spent the majority of the…
