Welcome!

Hello! I’m Alex, a first time mom, school social worker, and wannabe birth and postpartum doula. I have been interested in all things baby, pregnancy, and motherhood long before actually starting this journey myself and LOVE talking about it. Here you’ll find my little space on the internet to post about my experience so far.

I think there are a couple modes of mamahood today: the give-me-all-the-blogs-and-research-I-will-consume-it-all mamas, and the wtf-this-is-overwhelming-someone-just-tell-me-what-to-do mamas. Maybe you’re one of these all the time, and maybe you go between them depending on the topic. Sometimes reading all the things is helpful, and sometimes it’s incredibly overwhelming. 

One of my favorite pieces of advice I’ve heard is to pick a couple of mamas that you trust, listen to what they have to say, and then do what feels best for you; don’t crowdsource the internet and every mother you know for all the information. Babies are raised in 7 billion different ways around the world, so the type of pacifier you pick isn’t that important (also goes for sleep training, feeding, toys, everything). So pick your people, then listen to your mama gut because it will help you make the best decision for you, your baby, and your family.

Here, I’ll share with you what I’m learning along the way. Some of it will resonate with you, some of it won’t. I’m so honored to walk with you as we figure this out together.
