In our over-filtered social media world, I started looking back on what pregnancy was for me, and just how different it was. It wasn’t that long ago, but I didn’t have a smart phone and Instagram didn’t even exist yet! I thought about expectations versus realities and how we place…

This is not another blog post trying to convince you to buy more reusable bags, water bottles or containers. Don’t get me wrong, we use all those things already, so our family is already being less wasteful. However, the longer my boys are in school, the more I realize, I’m…

Disclosure: I was compensated to facilitate this blog post. My opinions, however are honest and my own, as always. I remember it like it was yesterday. That baby smell. Long before I had my own babies, I was the daughter of a mama that founded a center with “that baby…
