Baby and Me

Oh, hey! 👋🏼
Did your toddler turn you into a monster without your permission?
I got you 💜
I have been supporting families and little ones for 20 years and I speak ‘what the hell do I do now?!?’ fluently.

We talk a lot about self-care.

And we should.

We talk about mindfulness, too. Taking a breath. Noticing what’s happening in your body. Becoming more present.

But we don't talk nearly enough, or AT ALL about reflection.

Reflection asks something different of us.

What is it about the whining that bothers me so much?
What gets stirred up when my toddler tells me “no”?
Why does letting them leave the house in mismatched clothes, pajamas, and a winter hat bother me?

Reflection gives us space to get curious—not just about our children, but about ourselves.

I wrote more about the difference between self-care, mindfulness, and reflection, and why I think reflection deserves a much bigger place in the parenting conversation.

Read it here:

There is a lot of talk about self-care. A lot. And for good reason. We can wax poetic about how we need to take care of ourselves before we take care of our little ones. Rest. Exercise. Get up before they do. Sleep when they sleep. Ask for help. Accept help when it’s offered. Get a good babysitter...

If your end of August caught you saying ‘I don’t want to be this parent.’
If your end of August caught you saying ‘I’m going to parent differently now.’
If your end of August caught you saying ‘I just don’t know what else to do.’
I got you 💜

I really don’t have words for this one 🥹 But I’m going to try!
There is a unique vulnerability to be allowed into someone’s home, to be with, to enjoy their child. I never take it lightly. And boy, did I enjoy this little one 🤍
This mom said the magic word, too- ‘safe’
If I don’t do anything else, if I can make a child and parent feel safe, it’s enough.

Yup!!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Want a healthier society? Start earlier.

Long before someone enters school, joins the workforce, or votes, their brain is growing at an incredible pace. The experiences they have in the first three years help shape their health, learning, relationships, and well-being for years to come.

When we invest in babies and the people who care for them, we're investing in our collective future.

Because healthy societies don't start in adulthood. They start in infancy. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4txHq4n

This 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

We spend a lot of time assessing children.

It’s time we assess the practice shaping them.

Sigh….
Send this to your parent bestie who has ever wondered how having a job and having children were designed to happen at the same time 💜
