Not ready to stop your concert-going adventures after having a baby? I’ve seen my fair share of babies at Outside Lands, and I applaud you for not letting a baby limit your fun outings!

An honest mom’s review of kids multivitamin showdown: Hiya vs. Olly I try my best to be that parent who serves my child healthy food. But let’s be honest here… as a full time working mom I can’t always do it all (although weekly meal prep certainly helps), and sometimes macaroni and cheese, fish sticks, […]

We’re diving into best breast pump bags to help you find that just-right fit for your unique pumping situation. […]

Which high chair doesn’t sacrifice form for function? I put them to the test. One of my biggest concerns as a first-time-mom: my beautiful, curated, clean and organized home becoming a chaotic frenzy filled with unnecessary, and worse, ugly, baby products. So as with everything (including my deep dives on non-toxic baby shampoo, wipes, detergent—you […]

If there’s one question that keeps popping up amidst my circle of expecting friends, it’s this: “Do you really like your Lalo High Chair?” And let me tell you, my response is always a resounding yes. Here’s the thing: a high chair isn’t just another baby product. It’s a piece of functional decor that’s going […]

I was told before having my first baby that you need to be cautious about using a pacifier too early to avoid nipple confusion. So I researched to understand what the best pacifiers for best breastfed babies really means. Personally, I never had a nipple confusion issue with either of my kids and honestly don’t […]

Traveling is a huge priority for my young family. My two kids have already racked up more flights than I ever did as a child, and we’re always planning our next adventure. I get a ton of questions about traveling with babies and toddlers (in particular about staying in a hotel with a baby and […]

I’ll be honest—I don’t use baby lotion every day. More often than not, baby skin doesn’t need it. Their little bodies are designed to regulate moisture pretty well on their own, and overusing lotions can sometimes be more irritating than helpful. But there are moments when a little extra hydration helps—like dry winter months, post-bath […]

As a mom of two toddlers, my deep dive into the world of non-toxic products started the second my firstborn arrived. Before kids, I cared about non-toxic items like safe cleaning products, makeup, and skincare, but when I found myself responsible for this tiny, sensitive little being, it definitely hit differently. Suddenly, I wanted to […]

Traveling with kids is no small feat, but it’s something I’m incredibly passionate about. And just because life can get a bit… more (more loving, more messy, more chaotic, more humbling, more intense, more joyful) with kids, that doesn’t mean you have to give up on the adventures you love. It just means leaning into […]

Toddler sleep is one of those things that I feel like doesn’t get talked about enough. Baby sleep? That’s covered—there are endless resources on wake windows, sleep regressions, and the best white noise machines. But toddler sleep? It seems like no one’s really talking a lot about it.  I mean… The stalling tactics. The sudden, […]

However you choose to feed your baby, one thing is for sure—it’s hard work, and it’s super personal. If breastfeeding in any form is on your list—whether exclusive, combo, pumping, or some mix that works for your life—I’m sure you’ve considered a hands-free pump. And honestly? The options just keep getting better. Moms are busy, […]

When I had my first baby, choosing a formula felt overwhelming. I wanted something clean, high-quality, and as close to breast milk as possible—but the best options always seemed to be overseas. That’s changed, thanks to U.S. brands like Bobbie and ByHeart, who’ve raised the bar with thoughtfully made formulas. ByHeart has used whole milk […]

When you’re prepping for your baby’s arrival or thinking about your baby’s nursery, a humidifier might not be at the top of your list—but it probably should be. The right one can help with congestion, dry skin, and overall sleep comfort, especially during colder months or in dry climates. And with so many types of […]

Let’s talk potty training. Specifically, the infamous 3 day no pants potty training method. If you’ve been deep in diaper duty and dreaming of the day your toddler finally gets the hang of using the toilet, there are so many parents nodding along with you. And I’ve been there, too. Twice, actually. When I first […]

For many, being a mom can feel especially meaningful around Mother’s Day. I know I’m very lucky to be a mama to two amazing little ones and to have a partner who supports me in so many ways.

Becoming a mom is a life-changing experience—beautiful, transformative, and yes, completely overwhelming. It’s as though no one can honestly prepare you for the love you’ll have for your baby, but also for just how much you’ll second-guess yourself or how deeply you’ll feel the weight of trying to do it all. And somewhere in the […]

Welcoming a new baby is a joyful, exhausting, and completely life-altering experience. Whether you’ve just become a first time parent or you’re adding to your family, let’s be honest, figuring out the roles and dynamics of parenthood as a couple isn’t always the easiest thing. And if you’ve ever wondered, “How much should a husband help […]

Life with two toddlers is nonstop, and between juggling work, opening another Pilates studio in California, and keeping up with everyday chaos, dinner often sneaks up on me. By 5 p.m., my kids are starving (hello, hangries!). And I’ve come to accept this isn’t the season of life where I have perfectly prepared dinners on […]
