The Blog

Meet Megan!  This post has been a long time coming…Megan and I had an opportunity to chat over the summer with the intention of sharing her story for September. Life happened and my whole To Mama With Love blog took a backseat. I truly appreciate Megan’s patience and understanding as her story is being shared […]

March 13, 2023 To Mama, Indescribable. Meaning there is nothing quite like it– good or bad…there’s no way to sum it all up. Some moments are painstakingly challenging and we try to breathe through it, patient, kind, and realize that as hard as it is for us to move through that moment–it’s significantly harder for […]

February 20, 2023 To Mama, At some point this weekend, it dawned on me that baby boy will be here in 3 months and approx. 3 weeks (although I have a feeling he will be making his debut earlier than that). Just mama intuition/gut feeling. And after that thought nestled somewhere in my brain, I […]

January 23, 2023 To Mama, For a moment, I was mad at my body. I had my maternity clothes from my first pregnancy thrown on the bed and I was in the process of figuring out what fit , comfortably and flattering and boy was I frustrated. I was 180lbs when I gave birth to […]

January 9, 2023 To Mama, Let me paint the scene for you… It’s Thursday at 8:30am, I’ve had 3 sips of coffee- Our little one is very loudly playing peek a boo with the long curtain in our kitchen. Our dog is waiting to go on a walk and is sitting on my feet. My […]

January 2, 2023 To Mama, 2023. The start of a new year and the biggest catchphrase of any new year is “new year, new me”. I’ve caught myself saying it this year and in years past, and it is usually followed by a couple resolutions I’d like to engage in and practice on this journey […]

July 25, 2022 To Mama, It take a village to raise little ones. Before becoming a Mama, when I heard this phrase, for some odd reason, I thought it only pertained to the child. Boy, how I was wrong. My village; my family, my husband’s family, friends, this amazing community…you are all part of the […]

May 23, 2022 To Mama, I’d like to say we always had an organized home before our baby girl was born but I’d be lying. It wasn’t always organized and we still had a couple piles here and there but I can honestly say the laundry was done more regularly, meals prepped in advance and […]

May 16, 2022 To Mama, What a weekend. Let’s just say it; never did I think we would see the ER in the first year of our daughter’s life. I hoped to avoid it until she was a teenager playing sports and I guess that was a Mama daydream. To back it up, she fell […]

April 25, 2022 To Mama, We did it. We had our first overnight without baby girl and here’s what we learned about her. She was ready. She had been sleeping through the night with us for a week. She’s slept at my parents before- both naps and they’ve put her to bed while we went […]
