If I had a penny for every time I turned to my oils as a toddler mom, I would be a very, very rich woman. Whatever is thrown my way, which is a lot, I have an essential oil or an essential oil blend in a roller ball that I can grab.

When my husband and I decided to explore the possibility of pregnancy, we assumed we would get pregnant as soon as we put some intention behind it. I have spent my entire adult life trying not to get pregnant, so it must happen really easily, right? The answer is no, it’s not easy.

I think our breastfeeding journey is coming to an end soon and I’m feeling a lot of feelings. Breastfeeding has been a magical, tough and unexpected journey for me. 

It's July which means it was one year ago this month that we did our first long haul flight as a family of 3. Long haul travel with a baby can be intimidating but it is much easier than you think!

I started my low-toxin, natural lifestyle while living in New York City where access to clean products was simple. I could pop into a Whole Foods or place an Amazon Prime order and have anything I needed instantly.

As soon as I knew I was pregnant, I had a deep knowing that my body was made to deliver a baby. The goal was a drug free, water birth and I was determined to do as much as I could to achieve it.

I was equal parts excited and super nervous about using cloth diapers. It was something I always had in the back of my mind that I would do with my babies one day but, when the time came, I was frozen by absolute overwhelm. I had no idea where to start.
