A little over 12 years ago, I left my full-time job as a neuro nurse to stay home with my first baby, who was born at home in 2013. I loved being a stay at home mom and soaking up every second with my precious baby. Staying home to raise my children ...

Over my twelve years of motherhood — of having, raising and rocking babies, I’ve had quite a lot of mind shifts.

But one thing that’s remained - that I’ve always known deep down - that time isn’t guaranteed. That these days would be fleeting. That t...

Things that have helped me thrive in motherhood: realizing that what I wear does make a difference in how I feel throughout the day, and when I feel better I handle all the stressors that motherhood can bring better too.

As a naturally-minded RN, I’m very mindful of what I put on my skin - our largest organ.

Life is tough, but so are you - something I say to my children often 💪🏼

This hike was much harder than I remember it being in college, but they totally crushed it.

Spring always feels like a reset. The days get longer, the air is fresh, and the windows stay open. For me, it’s also a time to take a closer look at our home and what we’re surrounding ourselves with, like what we’re sleep on.

We spend so much of o...

Today is my birthday. The first day of spring and 41 years of life 💫

Every year as my birthday approaches I reflect more and more on the journey life has taken me on.

I’ve been broke, and broken.
Abused and lonely.
Heartbroken, lost and confused.
B...

Heard it’s international women’s day so here’s to all the bad a** women out there growing and birthing and raising their babies. Hands down the very best thing about being a woman ✨

Years ago we decided we’d take each of our kids on a mom and dad trip on the year they turned 13, the idea being to really take some time to connect and make memories together as our kids come of age.

We just got back from the most special 5 days wi...

Today I played Jurassic Park with my kids.
I pretended to be a T-Rex while they squealed and raced away from me in their little Jeep.

And while I was chasing them, relishing in their squeals and laughter, I thought for a moment about how heavy the ...
