Easy After Sun Cooling Spray: Heal a Sunburn with Essential Oils

The first time I breastfed in public I was terrifi

The first time I breastfed in public I was terrified that someone would say something to me thanks to all those glorious horror stories I’d heard of moms being shamed for feeding their baby ⊍ ⊍

Someone asked this question on my social media feed recently: why do moms post pictures of themselves nursing their babies? Here are my answers-

1.To normalize it 💯

2.To feed their human child who needs milk to survive 🧐

3.To document a special bond between mama + baby

4.To empower women to feel comfortable doing the same thing

Q: if I were to take a picture of me bottle feeding my babies, would it make someone just as uncomfortable? 👀

Fed is best, whether you choose to nurse or formula feed 🍼

Nurse your baby, take a picture, keep the conversation going to #normalizebreastfeeding

What else would you add to the list? Do you have pictures of you feeding your babies? I’d love to hear your thoughts on this 👇🏼 Gone are the days of hiding in a bathroom stall to feed our babes, mama.

Oh sweet Annie ✨ three weeks old tomorrow and I

Oh sweet Annie ✨ three weeks old tomorrow and I really just wish I could freeze frame time and live in these newborn days forever 😭 #ourannierose

You are allowed to beautifully exist in your body

You are allowed to beautifully exist in your body right now as it is. Not ten pounds from now. Not once you find the perfect angle. Not after you hide the stretch marks and conceal the cellulite.

I noticed tiny purple stretch marks on my belly from where my skin made room for Annie to grow. I smiled down at them and realized i wouldn’t trade those thin purple lines for anything.

Here to remind you to fully and radically love your body for all it has done for you, mama.

We are co-creators with God to bring these beautiful babies into this world. You’re allowed to beautifully exist right now, no apologies needed for how it looks 💫 #thisispostpartum
