I’m three weeks postpartum with our fourth baby, and more than ever I’m realizing the importance of postpartum self-care.

If you follow along on Instagram, you know that our sweet little Aletheia Faye joined our family last Monday, July 22. We had a wonderful home birth with Blue Ridge Birth. I shared little bits of her birth on my Instagram Stories, but plan on writing up a big old detailed blog post with all […]

Back with a second trimester update! I’m trying to get all caught up with my updates before baby arrives (in 5 or so weeks)! These stunning photos are by my new friend Alexandra Friendly.

Jojo just self-weaned at the ripe old age of 12 1/2 months. It feels like just yesterday I was snuggling him on the couch moments after our incredible home water birth, wondering how nursing was going to fare this time around. About one week ago, on that same couch, he decided he’d had his last […]
