Babies are so innocent. They are so curious about

Babies are so innocent. They are so curious about the whole world. I could sit and just watch Q for hours as he discovers new things, chats to himself and belly laughs for, what seems to me, no reason ❤️

I want to encourage parents. Stop and watch your children. Stop and listen to your children. Stop and enjoy being around them. I have learn more from my children then I have learned without them in my entire lifetime.

The biggest thing I have learned since becoming a

The biggest thing I have learned since becoming a mom is that we (America) have set the most unrealistic standards on our children… especially our babies. And guess what you guys? Our babies have no clue why we are pushing these insane standards on them! They are truly trying to survive and thrive just like their bodies are telling them too.

So to all the mamas out there, try to take a deep breath and turn off the noise pushed by companies trying to make a profit off of you.

Our babies are not broken…

During season changes, I am constantly reminding myself to get outside, get the kids outside. It’s only going to continue getting colder and being outside benefits our lives in endless ways.

This last week I made sure the kids have all their appropriate clothing for these colder temperatures. I don’t want to be able to make any excuses about going outside.

Take advantage of all the seasons ❤️ and if you live in Alaska… go buy a happy light 😉

We love the library 📚 As the weather starts to cool off I highly recommend adding a regular visit to your local library into your routine!

It is #breastfeeding week and all week I have been thinking about how important it is to go back to the basics.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There is so much propaganda and sales being thrown at mothers left and right. It’s time to push away the feelings of inadequacy and go back to the basics.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For me, back to the basics of breastfeeding means feeding on demand and letting go of the pressure of a schedule. Our babies know when they want milk or when they want comfort and they are awesome at communicating that to us.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Going back to the basics means listening to our babies and not the massive money making companies that are trying to manipulate the narrative.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Feeding wherever, whenever, and around whoever, that’s going back to the basics. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m going to be honest I struggle with breastfeeding. I struggle with being touched out. I struggle with feeling like I can’t take a break. Right along that struggle comes pure bliss. I alone get to be responsible for the nourishment of my child. I love the bond and comfort it brings. I am grateful for all the support I have receive, especially from my husband.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This week I celebrate #worldbreastfeedingweek by advocating and sharing my story. If you are struggling with breastfeeding and want to continue your journey here are some of my favorite Instagram pages:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

So incredibly grateful for this team, this community and the opportunity to raise a ton of money for our local youth shelter ❤️

The first of many room spruce ups in our home ❤️ Being a homeowner has been amazing so far. I love that we are able to make this space completely our own because it is! 🎉

This room will be a shared playroom for the kids. I wanted it to be bright, inviting and an overall peaceful space.

Truly appreciating the endless child-led play oppo

Truly appreciating the endless child-led play opportunities being outside provides.

Inspired by @jerricasannes , we spontaneously decided to help T through a TV detox. We turned off the TV 3 weeks ago and haven’t turned it on since. This wasn’t just for T but also for me too. I had grown to rely on T watching TV to help me receive rest or a break.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Before I got pregnant we had pretty strict boundaries in place when it came to TV, but pregnancy brought exhaustion and colder weather. The boundaries began to slide and I didn’t mind.

It has been a huge transition for all of us. The first few days were the hardest. She constantly asked to watch something and often had big emotions when told not right now. It has gradually gotten better. At this moment she rarely asks for it and definitely doesn’t expect it the way she did a few weeks ago. Our evening routines have become smoother over all and more time has been focused into play ❤️ Last week we even traveled without TV! It was a huge victory for me. We brought books, notebooks, crayons and listened to audiobooks instead of using screen time.

I’m thankful we made this decision especially before moving into our home. Expectations have been shifted for all of us and we get to start totally fresh in our new home.

Have you ever considered a TV detox for your household? Is there anything holding you back?
