You know, like for all the mamas who were up all night with a fussy babe and then up at the crack of dawn with the toddler. And for those mamas whose partners totally dropped the ball on a gift and flowers and breakfast in bed or any sort of…

One night, after the birth of my second little girl, the words from the song “You’re gonna be ok”, by Jen Johnson were running through my thoughts while I stood in the shower. So many emotions washed over me, love, loss and relief and need and excitement all at once.…

"I’m marching up and down our wooden floors. Listening to my own heels hit the floorboards intentionally harder. The floor creaks which sends the dog barking (why did we want wooden floors?) My 14-week old little girl is tied to my chest with a stretch wrap. Baby-wearing they said. It’s…

My UB story is a little different. I didn't learn about UB before having a baby... or while I was pregnant, but only after I lost my baby girl. My daughter passed away at 10 weeks old in May 2017, just before Mother's day, making Mother's day a very difficult…

#TheAndersonTwins. They didn’t just happen. It was a long, long road. When I reflect back on my life, it was one of two of the longest, hardest and unending paths I’ve walked that will forever shape my life. I was that 1 in 8. Five years. Five rounds of IVF. Fibroids. Endometriosis. Adenomyosis. Surgery. A miscarriage... and that’s…

“Every 1.5 hours? No honey that’s way too often, you obviously don’t have enough milk if he's crying and wanting to feed that often.” Says your mother-in-law. She’s had 5 kids, she must know what she is talking about. “She’s got colic. That amount of crying isn’t normal.” Says your…

I’m so tired. Is it even possible to be this tired? I scroll through old photos on my phone, photos from like 5 years ago. My skin was plump and glowing. The bags under my eyes, ok they were still there, but they weren’t THIS dark. There were so many…
