I’ve never aspired to the life of a showgirl, but knowing that I am living Taylor Swift’s dream has made this little life feel even sweeter this week.

Swipe to the end for a list of my favorite super easy and/or one-handed breastfeeding-friendly snacks!

Breastfeeding hunger can be intense the first few months postpartum and whenever infant illness or growth spurts pop up. It’s good for your blood sugar (and therefore good for your milk supply) to combine carbs with fats, proteins, or fibers.

I have plenty more in my postpartum cookbook, like baked oatmeal, easy quiche, chia pudding, and banana buckwheat muffins! Comment NOURISHED for a link to purchase.

Feels like we crammed all of summer into the last 4 weeks 🥵 No schedule, no routines, no regrets. AND we are very ready for predictability again this fall!

No one tells you that your baby learning to ride a bike is a milestone that feels like cutting the umbilical cord all over again 😅

This summer has been busy and sunny and HARD. The last few months have been kind of a dark season in my personal life. I’m okay and I have support, but I also find that my margins are much slimmer. So for all the times someone asks me how I do it all… this is me saying that I don’t.

I have such a heart for helping moms navigate the early days and years of feeding their babies, and I love that this corner of the internet is so cozy, wise, encouraging, and uplifting. I truly enjoy chatting with other moms and professionals in the DMs and I’ve made several IRL friends via this little app.

But. There’s a weird side to having a business that’s online in any form. While I’m ALWAYS committed to my clients and customers, I’m not always committed to posting here. And it’s such a bad business move. Because I have legitimately helpful resources for moms, and I so badly want to promote them better, but… I’m incapable of being disingenuous and inauthentic. And right now, that’s what posting here feels like. Not because of this app, but because of my life outside of the small portion of my work that’s shown online.

So I’m going to continue doing the work, personally and professionally. But I won’t be showing up on Instagram very consistently for a few more months. I know I don’t need to announce anything. But also, I feel like saying it can be a permission slip for someone else in a hard spot. We can’t show up equally in all seasons in all areas, and that’s okay 🫶🏽
