About This Mamma

Hi! Welcome to my blog!

Let me tell you a little bit about what you’ll find here:

I’m a Christian, a yogi who participated in a yoga teacher training program a few years ago, and somewhat crunchy thanks to: living in Colorado, my yoga background, and an amazing birth center experience. I cloth diaper, practice extended breastfeeding, and do my best to patiently parent my children. I consider myself a breastfeeding and natural childbirth advocate. I care most about educating and empowering parents to make the best decisions for them and their families because no two families are the same.

Now here’s where I invite you into my home to meet my family:

I have one sister who’s 19 months younger. We couldn’t be more different and yet we have always been incredibly close (despite the obligatory nonstop fighting when we were younger).


We get a little carried away sometimes.

She’s a huge piece of me and I love that she just moved closer!

We’re also best friends with our mom. She’s inspirational as a mom and a woman.

 

I have so many close friends who I am blessed to know, but my closest, who I consider extensions of my family and you might read about on here occasionally are:

My bridesmaids Rosalyn (Left) and Jennifer (Right)

Ashley, my friend from Colorado:

And my best friend who lives right around the corner, Diana:

I’m also so blessed to have an amazing father who’s always encouraged me to push past limitations and be whomever I wanted. He taught me what to look for in a man by showing me what a true partner in a husband looks like.

Then there’s my husband – Hubby – who, obviously, rocks my world.

We have one rambunctious two year old – Little Man (LM) – and just welcomed another little bundle – Little Hiccup (aka Littlest One) – on March 26, 2012!

About me

Hello and welcome.  It’s been a while.  For Lent this year I decided to fast from the thing that took too much of my attention from what is truly important: Social Media.  Though there are countless amazing benefits to Social Media, after about a month offline so far, there are seemingly just as many negatives.  I never realized how much of my brain had been hijacked by it.  I’ve had so many revelations about how much easier it is to move forward when I’m not constantly reminded of the past.  But I still want to record my family as they grow at this ridiculous speed and, I’m realizing, so many of our family’s memories are here.  Those along with so many of the struggles and stages we’ve worked through.  Maybe in the midst of COVID19 isolation and my kids around me so often, I’m brought back to a time when they were too young for school and with me so often.  Writing here during that time helped make up for the limited adult conversation in my days and the overwhelm provided by my… little treasures 😉 My husband, fur babies, three fiesty kids, and I hereby extend an invitation to visit this little sneak peak into our life. We’re super flawed and broken and there aren’t too many dull moments around here.  And I promise it’s not always as magical as some of my golden hour, sun-soaked images would suggest.  There’s usually too much coffee in my system and we welcome all the prayers.  Come on over if you want to process with me.
