I’ve been loving this organic cotton waffle blanket and meditation cushion from @Naturepedic! Both are made with GOTS certified organic cotton, are so soft and cozy, and would make the best gifts for holistic mamas looking to switch to more lowtox staples that still feel elevated! Cozy, conscious, and under $180 for both!

Tagged some of my other fave gifts from Naturepedic, and you can also find these in my gift guide for moms! 👀

Theo has humbled me and reminded me to get more of this stain spray before we run out 😂

#LTKCyberWeek #LTKmomlife

Since having Theo, I’ve been trying to be more mindful about the clothing that we’re all putting on our bodies, especially underwear! so the sale on organic cotton basics (and other gorgeous and well-made clothing) is super helpful! Don’t tell my husband that this is what he’s getting for Christmas 🥰😂

Easiest, yummy, lactation supporting hot chocolate recipe: Oat Mama chocolate protein, milk of your choice, splash of maple syrup. That’s it! Combine and heat!

#LTKselfcare #LTKdayinmylife #LTKmomlife

I’ve been lovinggg Oat Mama products to help boost my supply while breastfeeding, and it’s all on sale this weekend with code BFCM!

#LTKCyberWeek #LTKmomlife #LTKselfcare

There’s so much that contributes to a good supply- feeding on demand, seeing a lactation consultant during those times you need a little extra help, staying HYDRATED (the biggest one and one that’s hard for me some days), and eating a LOT of nutrient-dense whole foods. The breastfeeding hunger is SO REAL! lol it’s unlike anything I’ve ever experienced! I’ve never been so hungry in my life!

Lately I’ve been using @oatmama products to help me stay hydrated and nourished, and fill in gaps to help keep my supply strong. Protein powder and oat bars help keep me full, especially on days when I’m too busy to eat lunch (it happens lol) or need a one-handed snack, and I know I’m still eating something good for me and Theo! It gives me more peace of mind as Theo starts to shift to more solid foods that I can still give him the milk he needs and help us both get to a year of breastfeeding (and beyond).

Sharing now because it’s all on sale! Use code BFCM25 for 25% off sitewide! #ad @oatmama #LTKwellness

#LTKBaby #LTKSaleAlert #LTKmomlife

The best parenting tool? A regulated nervous system. Here’s why 👇🏼

Babies don’t yet have the ability to self-regulate or self-soothe, so they “borrow” calm from their parents. It’s called co-regulation. When you feel grounded, they feel safe. When you breathe, they soften- there’s scientific evidence that shows that your slow, intentional breathing slows theirs, as well. You are your baby’s first example of calm and safety.

Even as children get older, a calm, grounded mom or dad can mean less or shorter tantrums, and more regulated little humans.

So what is a regulated nervous system? It’s “rest and digest,” or a parasympathetic state. It’s remaining calm and grounded, even in times of stress or big emotions.

Taking the time to regulate your own nervous system, both regularly each day, and during stressful or triggering moments, is what keeps you grounded and able to be that calm, regulated place for your little one.

Nervous system regulation practices can look like:
• mindfulness exercises
• meditation
• breathwork (this can even just be a few long, deep breaths, or making your exhales longer than your inhales to slow your heart rate)
• exercise or a walk
• being in nature
• chiropractic
• cooking or any other activity you find calming and meditative!
• co-regulation: just like our babies borrow our calm, we can borrow it from someone calm around us who makes us feel safe
• dancing or shaking it out
• singing or vocalizing

As someone who struggles with anxiety (and even more so now as a mom.. something I’m still working on), coming back to my toolbox of nervous system regulating practices has been especially important to help me show up as the mom I want to be.

Have you practiced any of these? What helps you calm and ground when you need it most?

Absolutely obsessed with our holiday photos! And how COMFY this dress is! It’s 100% cotton, super soft, comfy, and flowy, bump friendly, and would make the perfect thanksgiving or holiday dress! The bow detail at the shoulders gives it such a fun and elevated look! Linking multiple colors (and the boys outfits!) for options! 🤎

Theo got this adorable DJ table as a gift when he was 6 months old and had been OBSESSED with it ever since! We play with this thing almost every day and he’s constantly finding new ways to play as his motor skills improve! When I heard it was one of the most popular toys of the holiday season, I was not at all surprised! If you have baby around this age range, scoop this one up ASAP!

#LTKmomlife #LTKBaby #LTKGiftGuide

Obsessed with how beautiful our holiday photos turned out! 🥹 I can’t believe that this will be Theo‘s first Christmas! I am so excited to create new family traditions and celebrate with my boys 🤍

#LTKHoliday #LTKFamily

It’s the best time of the year! Cozy cat by the Christmas tree time! Are you decorating early or are you waiting until after Thanksgiving? We do a mix of both! I do like to celebrate Thanksgiving but we also put up the tree early.

#LTKHome #LTKHoliday #LTKSeasonal

As Mariah says: it’s timeeee! 🎄

#LTKHoliday #LTKHome #LTKSeasonal

THE TREE IS UP! lol when do you put up your Christmas tree? November 1st, sometime in November, the day after Thanksgiving, or another time? Let me know! Usually we wait until the day after Thanksgiving, but we were just too excited this year with it being Theo‘s first Christmas! 🎄
