Organic Self Care
A couple of months ago we started using new organic bathtime products from The Seaweed Bath Co (gifted).

Waking up earlier This has been a game-changer for me when…

Top 5 Things I learned during my first pregnancy.
My first pregnancy was one of the most exciting times of my life. Waiting for that first appointment to hear the heartbeat, finding out the gender, being so excited each ultrasound to get a chance to see sweet baby, feeling those baby movements and kicks were memories I will always cherish forever. However, with that excitement, I also remember lots of anxiety and fear hoping everything was okay and wondering how our lives would change. Here are the top 5 things I learned from my first pregnancy. It’s okay to rest. This was a hard one for me because I’m normally the type of person doing 5 things at once…
