About Me

I’m a t-shirt and jeans kinda mama raising my babies in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I feel passionate about mindful parenting and sustainable living and aim to cultivate an authentic space where parents can come together and feel less isolated in their experiences.

Come introduce yourself on Instagram!

Is there anything less special than a birthday in your 30s as a parent? It’s really hard to feel like it’s different from any other day when I woke up feeling exhausted, short on patience, and nauseous from my body working so hard to make baby 3. Our bathroom renovation started this morning with the discovery of (another) leak and (another) abandoned rat nest behind the wall. All our money this year is going into our house and there are no pretty things for mama to unwrap today. • Lucky for me true wealth is measured in love and true good fortune is a family in good health. In that regard I’m the happiest and richest bish in the world and I already have everything my heart could ever want. Plus cheesecake! • • • #11weekspregnant #babynumberthree #threeunderfour #momofthree #pnwmom #pnwlife #familyoffive #dueseptember2020 #firsttrimesterproblems #littleblondies #firsttrimesterbirthday #blondekids #34yearsold #34yearsoldtoday

“What makes a house grand, oh it ain’t the roof or the door, if there’s love in a house it’s a palace for sure.” • Happy Valentine’s Day from our palace to yours! • • • • 📸 by @folkfotos #valentinesday2020 #valentinesday #dueseptember2020 #firsttrimester #septemberbaby #tomwaits #familyoffive #threekids #mumofthree #pnwlife #pnwmama #mindfulparenting #parentingwithlove #duesept2020 #thirdpregnancy #threeunderfour #reallove

Feeling like garbage in the first trimester but not being “allowed” to talk about it because of the taboo of a possible miscarriage doesn’t make sense to me. So many people have questioned my choice to go public about baby 3 at only ten weeks pregnant, wondering if this was a wise decision. As with all things, the right decision is the one YOU feel comfortable with. • I know myself well enough to know that I need connection when I’m struggling. Finding commonality with others makes me feel like I’m part of a community and keeping secrets makes me feel emotionally isolated. This past month has been hard for me because as empathetic and supportive as our partners can be, it’s impossible for a man without a uterus who has never experienced pregnancy to really understand what we’re going through. • If you prefer to be tight-lipped about your pregnancy (lol at my labia jokes), that’s cool with me! If you prefer to commiserate, this is the place to do it! What has been the toughest part of the first trimester for you? Lay it on me, mamas! • “Emotional Isolation and the Struggle of the First Trimester” is up on the blog today if you’d like to read a little more. 📸Photo by my lovely friend Pauline @folkfotos • • • • #firsttrimester #firsttrimesterproblems #dueseptember2020 #morningsickness #isolationinmotherhood #realmotherhood #authentiotherhood #rawmotherhood #samcs #pregnancyproblems #pregnancytruths #10weekspregnant #tenweekspregnant #babybump #momtobe2020 #momofthree #thirdpregnancy #pregnantbelly #maternityphotography #teammotherly #motherly #pnwmom #momlife #instapregnancy
