I am a mama to 5 tiny humans, 2 dogs, 4 cats, an ant farm and various “pet” bugs and worms. My spouse has been unexpectedly diagnosed with heart failure and DSP gene. Our youngest has been experiencing various medical struggles since late in my pregnancy with her. My life is a BeautifulMess. As a parent my days are filled with gentle attachment based parenting, breastfeeding, babywearing, coffee drinking, homeschooling & chaos. I love to learn new things and research topics. I believe we can do better when we know better. I strive to be a great mama and to do things that are the best for my family. I love sharing my experiences and the information I have learned with others, after all we as parents are in this thing called parenthood together.
