While I still have a bit of time, I wanted to share what’s on our baby registry! I worked hard to keep this succinct and hope this will be a helpful guide/checklist if you find yourself creating your own registry! Quality and aesthetics were really important to me, and I looked for non-toxic and organic options as much as possible. Thanks to mama friends, jotting down suggestions in my phone over the years, and many hours of research, I feel really wonderful about our registry, and genuinely love everything on it!
I cannot believe I’m finally writing these words… but I’m pregnant!
We are over-the-moon happy and grateful.
I’m also so grateful for this wonderful little community. Reading through your wonderful comments and messages has brought many tears to my eyes. It all feels that much more real now!
I’m excited to answer some of your questions about pregnancy so far and to do a bit of catching up.
I feel like we’re just tapping the surface of knowing how much stress impacts our short-term and long-term health. It can affect your happiness, hormones, heart health, and much much more. It’s crazy how much control we can let stress have over our lives! I thought I would share some daily rituals that work well for me, as well as a few things I do weekly that make a big difference as well.
Trust me when I say this… Life gets insane and we don’t always have time to do a workout + cook 3 healthy meals in a day. When life is crazy, it’s easy to get off track and end up feeling run down and even sick. Here are some simple strategies and routines for the busy times so that you can get through to the other side feeling health and happy!
So naturally there are a lot of things I’ve changed my mind about as I’ve matured and learned more (some very menial like not being preppy anymore and some very serious like political stances), but I thought I would share 5 very random things that came to mind! I asked you guys on Instagram about things you’ve changed your mind on, and I loved seeing your responses! Here are a handful of my favorites…
"Self care" is definitely buzzy right now, but this is a trend I have zero issues following. It seems like life gets crazier and crazier the older we get and as society changes, so I am absolutely here for any reminder to pause and take care of myself.
I'm here today to give you a friendly reminder to take care of yourself. Self care isn't girly or "hippie," it just means that you value yourself enough to care for your body and your mental health. I don't see a single negative to doing that.
