On April 29th, I was driving with Isabella and I told her:
“Isabella, a month today, you’ll be 9 years old! I still remember you kicking in my belly. You were that excited to meet everyone in the world!”
Isabella, without missing a beat, said, “No mom. I was just excited to meet you.”

There really aren’t enough words to describe the love our daughter possesses. She radiates sunshine, love and positivity. She is truly one in a million. She’s a great shopping buddy, foodie and lover of all adventures. And for me, she’s truly my best friend.

There isn’t a day I don’t wake up and see the shining star you are, Isabella. Since the moment I felt you kick in my belly, I felt this connection to you I can’t quite describe. You completed this family 9 years ago and each day you remind us to love with our whole heart. You are the sunshine to my stormy days. You are the beauty I look for with each sunrise. You are one of my favorite people, and I am lucky enough to call you my daughter.

Shine bright princess.
Happy Birthday 🎉🎂🎈🎊🎁

📣A N N O U N C E M E N T📣

I started my company to bridge the gap between patients and the medical field. I feel education is a big part of understanding how complex childbirth and postpartum life really are. I’m all about honesty and transparency so that families feel prepared about the next step in their parenting journey.

Unfortunately Covid has hindered my ability to stand by families in person to hold their hand and support them during childbirth. With that being said, I have made the decision to step away from labor support during birth. I will continue to be here in an educational role remotely on weekends when necessary. I love all the babies I have seen come into this world. I feel honored for all the connections I have made and my heart has grown so much with all the support and love this company has received.

I have taken on the role to be an OB Consultant in a different capacity and I’m so excited to see where that road will lead.

I will continue to post but will diversify my information in ways I find relevant to parenting, obstetrics and other things that impact my life as a mother and nurse.

As I sit here looking at this Covid vaccine, I’m reminded how far we’ve come in medicine.

As I sit here staring at this 4th dose, my SECOND booster, I’m reminded while others fight to avoid getting vaccinated, I am left with little choice because my health leaves me with few options.

As I sit here thinking about how much Covid has impacted all our lives, many sit and continue to live recklessly while I and millions of others feel defeated because even the thought of death isn’t enough to push you to get this vaccine.

As I sit here, I wonder how many of these boosters I’m going to have to take before people wise up and get vaccinated. Because until then, I get boosters due to my immunosuppression.

So if this post gets one person to go out there and get vaccinated, at this point, I’ll take that as a win.

If this post makes you wonder why get vaccinated because even those vaccinated and boosted are getting breakthrough with Omicron, I’ll tell you this:

*For those vaccinated, death and hospitalization are significantly lowered, if not completely off the table.

*For those vaccinated, Multisystem Inflamatory Disorder (MIS-C), is prevented in pediatrics. (Link on this in Bio)

So from now on, I hope to see cases decrease. I hope to see that tally of vaccines given rise. And in all honesty, I hope to see all vaccines available for everyone 6 months and older become available.

I have so much hope, but I won’t lie, it’s been many emotional days with tears and frustration. I want this to be over. Until then, I’ll do my part. The question is, will you?

A huge thank you to those that have gotten vaccinated. I truly appreciate what you’ve done.

Dear 2021,

I started this year believing you’d be kinder. Although I may have reached a huge milestone of writing my book, it doesn’t mean the difficulties were behind us. This was a year of countless lessons. I learned what people are made of. I realized that a hug shouldn’t be taken for granted. And I learned that the loss of a family member is felt daily, even when thousands of miles away.

I won’t pretend this was an easy year. It was a year of being vaccinated and boosted. It was a year where I saw my children get vaccinated and tears fall down their cheeks and hope in their eyes. It was a year where my chronic illness and my immunosuppression is constantly on my mind. It’s been a year of worries. It’s been a year of variants and going back into social distancing when I was hopeful things would improve. It’s been a year where my emotional stability has been running thin.

2022, do better. I have set no concrete goals. If the last two years have taught us anything it’s that all plans need to be flexible to adjustment. So I’m walking into the new year cautiously and hoping for the best.

Be safe everyone. Here’s to health and happiness. Here’s to less viruses and hopefully more vaccines. And here’s to more unity instead if division.

To everyone that has stood by me and my family, you’re seen and you are appreciated. Thank you 🙏🏼

I think it’s fair to say this might be the last Christmas where my son is shorter than me. I’m in shock how big the kiddos are getting. Although our celebration remained small and different than our pre-Covid years, I’m thankful for our health and all the blessings we’ve been given.

For many the holidays hold more sadness than light. I see you and recognize this might be a harder time for you. Sending love and strength your way.

🐶 12 days ago we welcomed a new member to our family. 🐶

Introducing Rusty, now a 12-week-old Cavalier King Charles.

He’s spunky, energetic and full of love. The kids are ecstatic and he has truly brought joy to our everyday lives.

Losing a pet this past summer really opened our eyes how therapeutic having a pup can be for a family. We are definitely ones that need a dog around. This new bundle of fur is so very loved!

He has now become
Follow his adventures

Zoom into the photo of when we picked him up and you’ll see our angel Aspen was looking down on us that day. Rusty is kissing my cheek and the bracelet I wear everyday by says ‘ASPEN’ on my wrist. It happened on its own and that photo always makes me smile.

Christmas came early for our family and we are tremendously grateful for the opportunity to love a new little pup. Here’s to many new memories on a new chapter of our lives.

Thanks to for being such a great partner on this journey with me. We’ve grown a lot since we first brought a dog into our home over 15 years ago. You always keep me looking at the brighter side of things and I always appreciate that.

Wishing you a blessed day for everyone!

Found this gem from 8 years ago of my youngest and can’t believe she was ever this small! I loved doing these photo shoots with her! Enjoy every second because before you know it, they’ll be passing you in height. Time—please slow down!

Being present for a birth is a gift. It’s a gift I have cherished in my career. I look back at all the lives I’ve seen changed with the first breath of their child and I feel grateful for my profession.

I haven’t gotten to be at a live birth in two years. That’s two years of missing that bond with a family that is about to embark on a new adventure. That’s a connection I haven’t gotten to form because life hasn’t quite been what it once was.

But on Sunday I got to stand beside an amazing family and watch them become parents. And to say I missed that these last two years is an understatement. I don’t take my career for granted but I also forgot how much a birth impacts me as a nurse. It drives me to look forward to the future. And I am beyond grateful this family chose me to stand by them.

A huge shoutout to for their attentiveness to their patients. You are truly a patient advocate and working with you always brings a smile to my face (even behind my mask 😉).

Mental Health Awareness Day…

I can’t let this day come to a close without talking about mental health awareness and how much I’ve started to take the time to pay attention to my own mental health since I became a mother.

It wasn’t until entering motherhood that I became more aware of how depression and anxiety was present in my life.

I am choosing this photo because it’s a time in my life where I masked how I felt. Here I was holding this precious son of mine and hurting so much inside due to my inability to love my own reflection.

Today may be mental health awareness day but everyday I now take time to focus on respecting my own boundaries and taking time to focus on things that bring me joy.

I wish the topic of mental health wasn’t taboo. But it is. I had to fight for my mental health and then I began to build my circle of trust. If there’s been a time that circle has been tested, it’s been the past 19 months. And it’s in these tough times I’ve been reminded of how low I’ve been and how much I’ve worked on my ability to stand up for myself.

Your mental well-being is exactly that—YOURS. If you haven’t already, build your village and know you are enough.

Driving up to the pharmacy, my son says, “I’m getting this vaccine for you mom.” There really are no words to express the blessing this boy is in our lives.

For those that don’t know, I depend on those around me to be vaccinated. To ask that of a 12-year-old is a lot. And yet I never had to ask. My son made this decision the moment talks of a vaccine were being thrown out to the public.

After months of waiting, Brody’s day came on his 12th birthday. We’ve waited and planned for this milestone and the day finally arrived.

Brody was born during the Swine Flu pandemic of 2009 and here we are, once again still living through the current one. We’ve continued being vigilant regarding Covid, even with the kids in school. So today’s milestone is a significant one for our family. And I’m so grateful we’ve gotten to this point.

Happy Birthday to this son of ours. You constantly surprise me with your wit, intelligence and compassion towards others. You’ve been a remarkable person from the moment they put you in my arms and I can’t wait to continue to grow into the unbelievable person I know you are. Thank you for blessing me and making me a mom. You are a gift beyond anything I could have asked for. I love you more than any words could truly describe.

For those wondering, we could only make an appt early this morning for the Covid vaccine. For some reason the online appointment scheduling portal doesn’t allow you to schedule for someone until they are at that age, even if the appt is in the future. The pharmacies are requesting a form of ID—in our case it was a birth certificate. And a portion of the child’s SS # is required when making the appointment. I’ll keep people updated on any adverse reactions he may have throughout the days to come.

Just so everyone knows, making this decision isn’t something Brandon and I did lightly. We did our research and made the best decision for our family. I have kept up with the data and am constantly trying to learn everything I can about Covid and the vaccine.

Twelve years ago today I was staring at my belly after months of growth wondering what child I would meet the following day.

I thought my physical growth was my biggest change. I thought what came ahead was a road I was prepared to travel. I thought I had packed all the necessary things into my bags and was ready for the next adventure.

In all honesty, since that day twelve years ago, I’ve been learning and evolving. Not one day passes where I think to myself I got it all right. Not one night comes to me where I feel I have everything figured out. The longer I’m on this journey of motherhood, the more I realize how little control I have.

But one thing is for certain. Twelve years ago today I was nothing close to who I am today. And that’s due to the little human I birthed 24 hours later. He changed my world. My outlook. My heart. Everything was different. I would never be the person I was prior to his arrival.

I won’t lie and pretend things were easy. In reality, I faced some of my darkest days following his first breath. But I also faced the most transformation. I also realized who I wanted to be.

So today, on the eve of my first born’s birthday, I’ll reflect on the transformation our lives took. I am so grateful for the darkness along with the joy. I’m grateful for the ability to stand here and see him growing each and everyday.

So here’s to anyone out there who’s waiting to welcome their first little. I can vouch it’s an overwhelming and emotional time with so many feelings mixed together. I’d say lean into that feeling as much as you can and grow from there. Don’t be afraid to ask for help and know there is help out there if you need it. It took me time to find my support and I have added to my inner circle through the years. That’s part of the process. Thanks to all those that have been my shoulders to lean on every step of the way.

This kid of mine—what can I say—he keeps me on my toes. Many parents I chat with tell me all these stories about their sons jumping off furniture, being rambunctious, but not our Bro. He is one that thinks about how he can prove his point, argue to make sure you see the other side, and always many steps ahead of where I was at his age.

Happy 🧡 I know my life wouldn’t be what it is today without this kiddo of mine. Bro, I love you beyond all I am.

Isabella,

You have brought more light into my life. You shine brighter than any soul I’ve ever met. I am so grateful to call you my daughter and I hope you never lose that sparkle ✨ you bring to everyone you meet.

I love you beyond all the stars in the sky. Happy 💗

I do want to say to anyone out there that holds pain on a day like today, I’m sending love your way.
