“Roommates” put words to something so many parents quietly feel.
Love is still there. The partnership is strong.
But exhaustion, routines, and divide-and-conquer can slowly replace the spark.

Becoming parents together is beautiful. AND it changes everything.

Does this song reflect a season you’ve lived? Or one you’re in right now? I want to hear your thoughts!

Sleep doesn’t remove stress — it changes how your brain responds to it 🧠

Neuroscience research by Goldstein & Walker shows that adequate sleep helps regulate cortisol, the body’s primary stress hormone, and strengthens the brain circuits responsible for emotional regulation. When sleep is protected, the brain can respond to stress without becoming overwhelmed or reactive.

When sleep is shortened or disrupted, stress hormones stay elevated and regulation becomes harder — which is why everything can feel so much heavier when you’re exhausted.

This isn’t about willpower or being “better at handling stress.” It’s biology. Supporting sleep supports a calmer, more resilient nervous system — especially during demanding seasons like early parenthood.

We talk a lot about baby sleep—but here’s the truth no one says loudly enough: parent sleep matters just as much.
When you’re rested, you show up more patient, more regulated, more present. And when your child sleeps well, their little brain and body get exactly what they need to grow and thrive.

Sleep isn’t selfish. It’s foundational—for both of you.

Yes. All of this.
Sleep boundaries matter. Development matters. Parent mental health matters.

None of these statements are controversial when you zoom out and look at the full picture of child development. Kids need warmth and leadership. They need support and structure. And they cannot regulate without rest.

Good parenting isn’t about avoiding discomfort at all costs—it’s about guiding kids through it safely and intentionally.

✨2016✨

2016 me was just trying to figure out how to be a parent.
Trying to find myself and feel fulfilled in a brand-new role.

So much mom-mode. So much learning as I went.
Making memories without realizing how big they’d feel later.

At first I thought this trend wouldn’t be fun because I was in it — not documenting it, just trying to get through the days.

Everyone’s older now. Life feels bigger. Louder. Faster.
But I think motherhood has always been a season of digging in and doing your best with what you know at the time.

What I wouldn’t give to go back for one minute, hug that version of me, and tell her:
I see you. You’re trying. You’re doing great.

Also… so. many. DIY and crafting projects 🤣
(very grateful I realized that was not my calling)

Work/life balance isn’t about doing everything.
It’s about deciding what actually matters first.

So many of us are exhausted because we’re filling our days with the “sand” — the small, low-impact tasks — and wondering why we don’t have energy left for the big things.

The truth?
You were never meant to do it all.
Not perfectly.
Not at the same time.

Balance comes from choosing your big rocks on purpose — and letting the rest fit in where it can.

posed such an important question: Why has the abundance of parenting advice made parents feel less confident — not more?

Parenting has never felt more high-stakes. We love our kids deeply, we want what’s best for them, and every decision can feel enormous. Add in advice that’s often framed as one-size-fits-all — plus judgment (from experts and other parents online) — and it’s easy to start doubting yourself.

The reality is that every parent-child combination is different. What works beautifully for one family might not work at all for another — and that doesn’t mean anyone is doing it wrong.

I’d love to open this up for discussion.
What kinds of parenting advice have helped you trust yourself more?
What kinds have made things feel harder?

Sleep plays a powerful role in how we think, decide, and respond — especially under stress 🧠

Neuroscience research summarized by Matthew Walker shows that sleep deprivation reduces efficiency in the prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain responsible for judgment, impulse control, planning, and decision-making. When this region is underpowered, the brain relies more on reactive pathways instead of thoughtful ones.

That’s why tired brains struggle with clear thinking, patience, and good judgment — and why even simple decisions can feel overwhelming when you’re exhausted.

This isn’t a personal shortcoming. It’s a biological response to insufficient sleep. Supporting sleep supports clearer thinking, safer decisions, and better emotional regulation — for parents and kids alike.

We break down this research and many other foundational sleep studies inside The Peaceful Sleeper book — now available for pre-order! 💛

So many parents worry that sleep teaching means less closeness.

The truth? Better sleep often leads to more patience, more presence, and stronger connection.
That’s the foundation of our book.

Just like co-sleeping, sleep training isn’t one-size-fits-all.

The question isn’t “Should you?”—it’s “Is this the right time and fit for this baby and this family?”

Healthy sleep training means:
• Developmental & physical readiness
• A solid sleep foundation
• Staying within baby’s window of tolerance
• Needs fully met

This is not old-school “cry it out.”

The goal is well-rested, connected families 🤍

Sleep is a polarizing topic, so let’s slow it down.
When it comes to co-sleeping (just like any parenting choice), the goal isn’t “right vs. wrong”—it’s fit.

Before choosing co-sleeping, we encourage families to look at the whole picture:
• Safety
• Baby’s sleep quality
• Parents’ sleep quality
• Relationship health

If you’ve thoughtfully considered all of this and co-sleeping is working for your family—truly, I’m happy for you!

There is never a blanket right answer…you just have to look at the big picture.

01/13/2026

Yes, it’s a beautiful moment of responsiveness—but is it actually necessary for mom’s sleep to be this light all night long?

When baby is safe (like on a floor bed), I always zoom out:
Is mom waking up rested? How is this impacting her energy, her day, and her relationship—especially if there’s a partner involved?

There’s no one right way to do sleep. But it’s worth looking at the whole picture and asking what this level of sacrifice is costing.
