A Cleft Lip At The Ultrasound – Our Birth Defect Story

By |2020-02-17T20:33:30+00:00November 26, 2019|Baby, cleft, Motherhood, pregnancy|

One of the scariest days of my life was right around this time (Thanksgiving) three years ago. I was pregnant with my second child, and we had our anatomy scan which revealed a cleft lip at the ultrasound. What did this mean for us? We knew so little about cleft lips. I remember watching infomercials for Operation Smile or something similar late at night as a child. I associated cleft lips with third world countries where people may not have great access to prenatal care. It didn't take long for me to realize how ignorant I was. I want [...]

Stay At Home Mom Vs Working Mom – How To Decide What’s Best For Your Family

By |2019-12-17T19:37:14+00:00November 2, 2019|Motherhood, Natural Parenting|

 "The natural state of motherhood is unselfishness." - Jessica Lange. I love that quote because it is so true, and unfortunately when it comes to the stay at home mom vs working mom debate, the word "selfish" gets thrown around WAY. TOO. MUCH. Sometimes the accusation of selfishness comes from others, but sometimes it's our own feelings and "mom guilt" that bog us down. I have had the privilege of being able to do it all--I was a full time working mom, a stay at home mom, and a part-time working mom. My schedule still flops back and forth on occasion. [...]
