Your baby gear comes with instructions, why doesn’t your baby?
My Newborn and Postpartum Prep Workshop is the missing link! During this workshop, we’ll talk through preparing for baby, practice several tasks and functions you’ll perform as a parent of a newborn, and we’ll set up and try out your baby gear. This workshop is completely customizable for you and your family to best help you prepare for your unique bundle of joy.
Sure, the hospital offers something similar, but this is more convenient for families and a better experience, which is the best way for adults to learn anyways!
This makes a great baby shower gift or a great gift from family members living afar.
We can conduct the Workshop at anytime (even after baby’s arrival) but the ideal timeline for the Workshop is after your baby shower(s) and before baby’s birth.
Happy reading and I look forward to hearing from you soon!
Have you ever taken the time to think about care after childbirth and compared it to care you’ve seen or received after any other injury? Trust me, I know there is nothing like childbirth, but in this article I’m going to attempt to compare my ankle sprain to childbirth. Specifically, I’m going to attempt to compare the recovery and rehab process of the two. Though really, there’s no comparing.
I wont propose a solution to the issue, just seeking to draw attention to the lack of standardized care for postpartum people.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this one…❤️

April is the Month of the Military Child. I wrote this article last year but gave it a few tweaks and updates and am republishing it for 2019. Same information still applies, but I’m one year more experienced along my military spouse/life journey and wanted to add a few more details to the description of the anatomy of these wild creatures disbursed amongst us. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing (and updating) it. Stay blessed!
