Why a Postpartum Plan is Just as Important as a Birth Plan (and how you can make one)

7 Ways to Cope with Labor, Naturally
Pregnancy is full of surprises. So when it’s time to finally meet your precious little one, the last thing you want is to feel unprepared for labor. I want to note that I’m using the term “naturally” here simply because that is how we google search for this type of information - but every birth is natural, whether you use medicine or not, vaginally or surgical.

New Year Kitchen Reset
I’d love a new kitchen, but we know that is not always possible. I have figured out that even if you can’t actually get a new kitchen, you can make yours feel brand new! If your kitchen is feeling a little overwhelming, rather than inspiring as it should be, it’s time to give it a refresh. Whether you have some canned goods hiding in the back of your pantry from 10 years ago or your utensils drawer is out of control, you need a new year kitchen reset!
