Look familiar? I love to educate about all the amazing ways we can safely sleep as a family. Our goal is always the best sleep we can find for everyone in the family AND doing it with evidenced based safety in mind!

I encourage ALL community members and families to share your concerns, worries, thoughts and successes in navigating healthcare and particularly vaccines for your family! This is an issue that can be controversial (and doesn't need to be!). Giving your honest oppinion and experiences is a great way to let our health district know what is and is not working! Anonymous survey! So you can say what you REALLY think. :)

Saturday!

This is no joke. Our monthly babywearing meeting is THIS Saturday! April 5th.
Come hang out, let your kiddos play and get hands on babywearing help.
If you're interested in volunteering it's also a great opportunity to see what we're all about.
We hope to see you there!

Sigh...nothing quite like those long newborn nursing sessions....

😂😂😂 I nearly spewed my tea out. I recently treated myself to a good rewatch of Pride and Prejudice as a brain break.

This week I have been feeling so bad about all the dropped balls and late texts and rescheduled visits etc...but really, life is just like that sometimes. And its ok to be messy and normal and not perfect.

Even Mr. Darcy. 😂

Happy snowy day to everyone in the snow! 🩷 Susan

I am still here, supporting families...and yes I really am booked out over a month most of the time right now for private consults. It is not my favorite dilemma to have, SO Group Clinic is available most weeks for you to pop into for care and support! I will be offering my next Group Clinic Monday, Jan 20th at 2pm. And I will have more clinics on Saturdays so hopefully that is easier for working families!

Questions, shoot me a PM! And if you are expecting a baby and want to have postpartum help a text away...book ahead!

Always cheering you on! Susan :)

Openings for Group Clinic on Friday! This group care is a great option for anyone who is needing a little guidance or reassurance with infant feeding.

Might be your newborn, questions about tongue ties, difficulty with latching, bottle refusal, back to work questions, supply worries, or how to go about weaning.

If you have questions about what to expect or if group might be a good fit for you, message me or text 509 383 8058

Are you a parent who loves baby wearing...or maybe misses baby wearing?? Our local Babywearing education and outreach group is looking for volunteers!

Meetings are getting BUSY and the only thing holding them back from helping more families learn the joy of babywearing is babywearing savvy helpers or just somebody with a willingness to help with backend stuff!

Please reach out if you might be interested! I know some of you miss babywearing as much as I do!!!

-Susan

Our lovely group is still looking for anyone who would like to volunteer with us. The more the merrier!
We have many opportunities to be involved and babywearing experience is not required.

Reach out to our page or talk to us tomorrow at our monthly meeting if you're interested. Share this post with anyone you can think that would have fun getting involved 💙💛❤️

When you are the season of life of waiting, pregnancy, little people and juggling the intense needs of other small humans 24 hours a day. It's enough to just do that. Even on New Years.

Avoid the scrolling and reels that makes you feel worse. And maybe set it down and sink into the reality that the change you are making is slow, and important, and found in the "boring" of being there day and night cultivating hearts, and bodies, and mind of littles.

Maybe your new years can be to sink into this season. Its hard. And good. And you are doing a great job. 💛
