Nothing can replace that of a spouses presence. Doulas do not replace the support of your partner in life. They collaborate, working together to create a safe birthing space!

A woman never forgets how she was treated during pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum.

those moments are etched into her heart forever.
When her body is changing, her strength is being tested, and her emotions are raw, the way her partner shows up matters more than words can explain.

Support, patience, kindness, and reassurance during this time become part of her foundation as a mother and as a wife.
Long after the sleepless nights fade and the scars heal, she will remember whether she felt protected, valued, and loved.

Treat your wife gently during these seasons, because how you care for her when she is most vulnerable is something she will carry with her for the rest of her life.❤️

One minute you’re surviving the cold, the next minute you’re cuddled up, Netflix is on, and someone is sliding their freezing toes under their partner’s legs like it’s a totally normal heat-seeking missile move. 👣
Anyway… see y’all in about 2 months 😌🤰🤪

In all seriousness. Stay warm. Stay safe. Stay home if you can. It’s going to get pretty icy on the roads!

A HUGE thank you to another one of our amazing sponsors!! Shannon loves people and has the heart of serving others. I'm thankful I get to do life with her. 🥰

Hi there! My name is Shannon, Owner of Tiny Feet Doula Services. I am a full-spectrum Doula and certified breastfeeding educator with a lifelong passion for supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and beyond. I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart for nearly 18 years, and together we are raising two incredible children whom I have homeschooled from the very beginning. Motherhood has been my greatest teacher and the foundation of the work I do today.

I have worked with newborns and young children since I was a teenager and from there became a Professional Nanny. At the age of 24, I became a mother myself. Through those experiences, my passion for birth, infant care, and breastfeeding support took root. I pursued formal education in early childhood development and with that, my professional journey has included time in the public school system, where I gained valuable experience but ultimately realized my heart was leading me elsewhere. Doula care. (And homeschooling!)

Today, I am honored to say I have supported families as a full-spectrum Doula and certified breastfeeding educator for over 10 years. Many of those years serving Lufkin, Nacgodoches and deep East Texas.
My approach is rooted in education, compassion, and evidence-based support. I believe deeply in the power of informed choice and respectful, collaborative care.

My goal is to continue to educate and enrich our community by helping bridge the gap between medical professionals and patients. I strive to support healthy, open communication so families feel confident, heard, and empowered throughout their care. I do not seek to replace or challenge medical expertise, but rather to complement it-supporting patients in understanding their options and working alongside providers to create positive, patient-centered birth experiences.

I hope to inspire women to advocate for themselves, to trust their voices, and to engage in meaningful conversations with their care teams. At the same time, I aim to encourage a culture of collaboration that strengthens our local birthing community and helps families thrive.

Oh boy. This entire piece is well written!
But this part is 💯!

“Licensing schemes written by people who’ve never held a woman’s hand through transition dictating who is “allowed” to catch a baby”

I encourage you to learn about what’s happening in our state. Vote for what you believe is right - even if we don’t agree.. I just encourage our community to step up and take ahold of your power to VOTE on these things! I’d say 90% of our locals have no idea what’s is happening in healthcare. You have a voice - use it to protect you, and future birthing mothers!

Protect Traditional Midwifery.
We’re next.

They’ve been picking us off quietly for decades, one birth center at a time, one midwife at a time, one family at a time.

Now the squeeze is out in the open. Bills dressed up as “safety” stripping out whole lines of practice.

Hospitals shuttering maternity units while pretending it’s a staffing glitch.

Licensing schemes written by people who’ve never held a woman’s hand through transition dictating who is “allowed” to catch a baby.

Look around. Every closure, every “pause,” every new rule is the same message on repeat:

Birth belongs to the system. Not to women. Not to families. Not to the midwives who’ve carried this work for centuries.

Traditional midwifery is the last free corner left in American maternity care.

The only place where birth isn’t a commodity. The only place where outcomes still beat the system’s numbers.
And yes
because of that

we’re a threat.

If you think they’ll leave us alone, you’re not paying attention.

We’re next.
Unless we stand up, organize, and refuse to disappear.

Protect the keepers.
Protect the families who choose us.
Protect the right to birth outside a broken machine.

🎯

Decades of research have shown that round-the-clock fetal monitoring does not reliably predict fetal distress, and experts say it leads to many unnecessary surgeries. But it’s still used in nearly every birth in the U.S. because of business and legal concerns, a New York Times investigation found. https://nyti.ms/3WF7yLx

If you breastfeed for 1 day, you should be proud! 🤱
If you breastfeed for 6 months, you should be proud! 🤱
If you breastfeed for 2 years, you should be proud! 🤱
If you breastfeed for 6 years, you shouldn’t be ashamed or shamed - you should be proud and we should be proud of you! 🤱

The natural term for humans to breastfeed is anywhere between 2 and 7+ years. Some babies stop earlier, some carry on for longer.

Many cultures around the world breastfeed to natural term, including many women in the Western world. This age range is only surprising in cultures that interrupt breastfeeding, often without realising it or knowing which norms are biological and which are cultural.

The concentration of fats and proteins increase as a baby grows into a toddler, along with increased levels of antibacterial and antiviral components such as lysozyme, which is an anti-inflammatory, and destroys bacteria.

Lysozyme increases in concentration from about 6 months old, when babies become more mobile and everything (toys, sand, cats biscuits?) goes straight in the mouth, and keeps increasing after the first year.

The concentration of Lactoferrin also increases over time. Lactoferrin inhibits the growth of some cancerous cells. It also binds to the iron in our baby’s body, preventing it from being available to harmful microorganisms that need iron to survive. Lactoferrin also kills the bacteria strep mutans, a cause of tooth decay and cavities.

Our body’s immune system takes around 6 years to become fully mature, so the support of the protective factors in breastmilk until our immune system can fully function on its own seems play a part in the timescale of natural term weaning too.

Longer term breastfeeding is also associated with reduced risk of diseases for mothers, including breast cancer.

We acknowledge that many mothers find it difficult to establish breastfeeding in the first place, that is a multi-layered investment on the part of a mother and that natural term feeding might not feel like, or be, a possibility for many.

We're not here to tell anyone what to do.

We also acknowledge that lack of information about our biology contributes to lack of support for mothers when they want to establish, or continue, breastfeeding, but cannot find the help they need from people who understand why it matters, or what is normal.

⭐️ Exciting news! ⭐️

“We’re Hannah and Adam Archambault, the owners of East Texas Turnovers and proud parents of our 10 month old son. After experiencing firsthand how overwhelming those last weeks of pregnancy and the first days home with a new baby can be, we wanted to create something to truly support other families.

That’s how our Maternity Clean was born - a home cleaning and gift basket designed to give parents peace of mind. Whether it’s done the week of the due date, while you’re at the hospital, or right after you come home, the goal is the same: to provide a sanitized, fresh, space so families can focus on what matters most.

We treat every home with the same care we’d want for our own family, and we’re honored to help make this special time a little easier. “
