… and the biggest piece of advice I have for all new mothers.
Motherhood — it can break you, tear your heart open, and then build you all over again from the ground up — the person you were before someone you no longer know so well.
By Me2Admin
For all the mamas out there in the trenches.

Like you, I have a story. In fact, we have many stories. A plethora of seemingly small, or sometimes life altering large experiences that make us who we are. Stories that when spoken out loud have the power to connect, to heal and to honour us. So why aren’t we all spilling the beans? [Read more…]

Embracing those that you can fall into and the power of connection.
If you are a Mother, you have probably heard the term “find your tribe.” But, I like to refer to a different saying for anyone that is well, a person. We all need to find our people. And, whenever I think of this, for some reason, I think of arms wide open, falling into a body of water. Maybe that is because finding these people is so much more than just finding a few friends. It is finding a place that is deep and unceasing. A place that you can fall into and go beneath the surface — yet where you always stay afloat.

The life changing journey from resisting Motherhood to embracing it.
When you think of who you were before you became a mother, and who you are now, do you feel like they are two completely different people? Do you feel like you are resisting this new identity — trying desperately to hold onto the person that you were before you blessed this earth with a little person? If you answered “yes” to the above, then I hope you find some solace in the fact that you stand together with so many women. Women that don’t recognize who they are anymore. So who are we now that we are Mothers?

A quick recipe to help get the milk flowing.
If you’re anything like well, every single new mom out there that has decided to breastfeed her baby, then you will most likely obsess over milk supply. At least, during those first few months. It may feel like if you aren’t nursing, you’re pumping. The clock is moving in fast forward, and the nursing/pumping sessions are all blending into one very long day. If this sounds like you, then first, let me remind you that you do not stand alone. [Read more…]

If you have had a baby, then the phrase “Can I bring you anything?” is probably very familiar to you. What’s also familiar is the polite response I just know came out of your mouth… “No no, I am good, thank you!”
WRONG.

Why having two children really did feel like 20.
You’re 34 weeks pregnant… your feet are sore, hips are aching, and you can’t wait for this baby to make its arrival. Yet, every other person you meet, feels the need to tell you, “two is like 20!” You roll your eyes.

Our first night home with Viola and how I came face to face with the reality of parenthood.
As I hobbled my way out of the maternity ward, barely able to stand upright after my caesarean, I could hardly believe they were letting us leave with this little living person. Didn’t they like, send you home with a nurse or a manual? Something? Anything? [Read more…]
