We deserve better. Shop Safer
Advice and firsthand experience from one normal, sometimes nutty, mom to another, because when you’re a mother, you need a community.
Social media is like a picture frame, a billboard. Each image is meticulously chosen by someone. A seemingly perfect shot. And put on display for all to see. But what we forget, what we don’t see, is the photographer behind it. The reason why it was framed the way it was framed. What was on […]
I thought maybe it was the last night. Bennett kissed me on the cheek and then slid down to kiss my almost 41-week belly, hanging over the edge of the ottoman. “I love you, baby,” he whispered between his lips pressed against her, moving inside me, until her home became firm, hard as a rock, […]
As parents, we put a lot of pressure on ourselves to make sure our kids grow up to be smart. The word “smart” is subjective, I think, but at the end of the day, we do our best to encourage and foster learning as much as we can for our kids, especially since their little […]
I rolled over this morning and admired your profile. The bridge of your nose. Your curled lashes cascading over tired eyes. I put my hand on your waist and pulled you closer, to face me. That first look, that first awakening kiss; they’re simple. I look forward to that. It’s our 6-year wedding anniversary. We could […]
Click. It went dark. I turned off the giraffe lamp in Bennett’s room, and I swallowed the rock that lodged in my throat as I cupped my hand under my belly, the way I always did when I wandered out of his bedroom at night. In my short journey through the darkness of his room, […]
The gush woke me up. My eyes shot open, and adrenaline quickly traveled to each corner of my body. When it reached my chest, my heart squeezed and went into rapid rhythm. I turned to nudge Stuart. “Babe,” I said as I kept nudging. “Babe…I just felt a huge gush.” His eyes opened slowly as he […]
Dear Husband, You probably don’t recognize me these days. You know…without my pretty face on, without my wedding dress, without that “fool-in-love” look in my eyes. Believe me, I miss her too. I haven’t forgotten the way you looked at her, and that’s what makes this hard. So much has changed. So much time has […]
When you lose a baby, there is this shadow. There is this darkness you inherit. Sometimes it fades into the background of your life, but sometimes, it does come back. When I got a positive pregnancy test on June 7th, I bit my lip hard between my teeth and held it there while I stared into […]

I call it: the closet crisis. It’s that moment when you’re looking at endless outfits in horror…scanning through thousands of hangers holding styles that once were “so you,” but are now “so yesterday,” or worse, “so many years ago.” For me, this happened a few months postpartum. I was standing in front of a sea of crop tops, […]
I cannot tell you how many crazy looks I’ve gotten and the comments I’ve heard when people find out we’re a cloth diapering family. Eyes roll. Laughter ensues. Women look at their husbands and say, “No way, not for us; it’s too much work.” Or, “Ew that’s so gross.” “More laundry? No thanks.” “You put poop in […]
