Ever walked into Target or Whole Foods thinking you’d just grab a quick baby wash along with the other items on your list and be out in minutes—only to end up standing in the aisle, flipping bottles over, Googling ingredients, and wondering why this has to be so complicated? Same. It’s wild how something as […]

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 […]

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 […]

I remember the first time I attempted to swaddle my newborn son. I was sleep-deprived, squinting at a hospital nurse’s impossibly neat wrap job, and wondering how I’d ever recreate it at home. Let’s just say, my early attempts looked more burrito explosion than snug baby cocoon. If you’ve ever wrestled with a swaddle at […]

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 […]

It’s like having a digital assistant dedicated to organizing your family’s chaos.

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 […]

Motherhood is life-changing in ways you never fully expect—emotionally, physically, and yep, professionally. The term motherhood penalty might not have crossed your mind before becoming a mom, but chances are you’ve felt its impact at some point. A slower career progression? Reduced earning potential? The overwhelming need to “prove yourself” at work? Moms face unique […]

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 […]

I’ve found so many clichés of motherhood to be true, one of them being that your baby’s first year goes by in the blink of an eye. There are so many beautiful, exciting moments, but somehow, the details of firsts and milestones can feel hard to keep track of. I wonder why that is? (Couldn’t […]

Contrary to what society suggests (and what I definitely believed), motherhood doesn’t mean losing yourself. Instead it’s a journey towards discovering your most authentic self. Motherhood has pushed me to grow in ways I never imagined, giving me the patience to see things clearly and the confidence to act with purpose. It’s helped me figure […]

If you are building your nursery, convertible cribs are a must IMO. Anything that grows with your baby, think newborn to toddlerhood and beyond, is an investment worth looking into. These types of cribs not only save space and money in the long run, but they’re also a stylish and functional addition to any nursery. […]

Meal prep has become an essential part of our week, and such a good habit I encourage you to get into. We cook most nights; one because we love to cook; two because it’s healthier; three because it’s more economical. And because we both work from home, that means breakfasts and lunches are also at […]

If you’re anything like me, you’re always on the lookout for little things that can make a big difference in the life of your family. Humidifiers might not be the first thing that pops into your head when you think about creating a cozy, happy environment for your little one, but trust me—they can be […]

Figuring out the world of baby formula can feel overwhelming. And if you’re anything like me, you’ve probably spent late nights Googling ingredient lists, scrolling through reviews, and wondering what’s actually the best option for your baby. There’s no shortage of opinions, societal pressure, and mom guilt when it comes to how we feed our […]

If you’re staring at that baby shopping list wondering if a humidifier really needs to be on it, know there’s a whole group of other moms who’ve thought the same thing, myself included. We’ve all been there, weighing the must-haves against the nice-to-haves, especially when it comes to nursery essentials. A humidifier can actually make […]

Getting toddlers to eat their veggies can feel like an endless battle of wills. If you’ve ever set down a plate with even the smallest portion of green vegetables, only to watch them get pushed aside (or fed to the dog), you’re definitely not alone. It’s a challenge so many of us face, and sometimes […]

Breastfeeding can often be one of the most rewarding parts of motherhood, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t without its fair share of challenges—especially when you’re dealing with discomfort or pain.  One issue that many moms experience, but don’t always expect, is a nipple blister (also called a milk bleb or blocked nipple pore). This […]

This holiday season feels so much different than the past few. Caden is old enough (4.5 years old) to really understand that the holidays and festivities are occurring, and my daughter, Willow (2.5 years old) loves nothing more than to yell “Christmas” at the site of any Christmas lights. I think all of us moms […]

Perelel Health came on my radar when I first saw their ads popping up all over Instagram earlier this year. And as I always do with most products that grab my attention, especially any health related ones, I dove deep into learning more about the brand and what they have to offer. And TBH, I […]

There were many, and I mean many, terrible things about having a baby during COVID, but one of the best things that came out of it was the ability to work from home with my baby. Don’t misconstrue – it’s impossible to work a demanding job without childcare even with working from home. Childcare is […]
