Some days are filled with so many smiles! 2 month old smiles, 30 year old smiles, 40 year old smiles, 3 year old smiles, 1 year old smiles, 50 year old smiles, 15 year old smiles filled my day! Who smiled at you today?

I love being a doula. I love working with new moms. I love working with new dads. I love snuggling new babies. But let me tell you there is something special about being a doula for your business partner especially when that business partner is the splendid Jessica Buche! Thank you so much for letting me love on you and sweet baby Harper today. 💜💜💜

I love this!! You can, if you can women are amazing, but savor this time!

First-time mama, you’re going to make mistakes. It’s inevitable and, believe it or not, it’s good. This is how we grow. Get stronger. Do better. Learn to ALWAYS keep a spare baby outfit in that diaper bag.But the one mistake I hope you can avoid is this: Don’t try to prove something to the o...

Yesterday included holding babies, playing play dough with a 3 year olds, reading children’s books, doing “yoga” with an 11 month old, changing poopy diapers at 1 and 2 and 3 in the morning, telling stories , listening to the fears and questions of a new parent, enjoying the beautiful sight of a grandma holding her newest grandson, cooking, washing dishes, driving 45 to pick up a unicycle, and coffee with the delightful Jessica Buche! It was a very full 24 hours and just the right medicine for this soul.

Well said! We are not the same! And oh how boring would it be if we were!! Give yourself time and love. You body worked hard for a very long time to nurture your infant. https://www.facebook.com/lovewhatreallymatters/posts/1652536801435378:0

"It took me 4 days to decide whether or not to share this. But recently there have been moms reaching out to me based on some things I've shared, so here goes. The left pic is 3 days before I delivered Gavin (my 2nd child), the right pic is 3 weeks postpartum. I'm sharing this to show moms that sometimes it doesn't matter if you're thin, ate right and exercised during pregnancy, sometimes your body grows in such a way that simply doesn't allow you to 'bounce back' in friggen 3 weeks. I feel like all I've been seeing is new moms sharing their amazing postpartum bods, 11 days after birth, 2 weeks after birth, etc. And while that's wonderful for them, for many others, KNOW that it's not realistic! While I won't be totally sure till 6 weeks, I have a strong feeling that I've got Diastasisrecti (separation of the abs), in which case I'm determined to get the physical training I need to heal. I've also been wearing a postpartum corset for extra support. But in the meantime, I'm giving my body a chance to breathe. Did you SEE how far my belly stretched?! There is no race to bounce back moms. We'll get there!!"

I just had the coolest discussion about birthing babies with my 14 yr old son! This kid asked so many interesting questions. His ability to put himself in the "shoes" of a labouring mama is inspiring! This kid is gonna leave me in the dust!!

Third time with this beautiful mama!! Love her so much! I treasure every moment of every labour we have spent laughing, crying, yelling, and dancing!!
