The greatest gift you'll ever give yourself is the gift of self acceptance.
2 years ago I sat cross from my therapist and she said something I knew to be true. "You're very intuitive Brittany. You know yourself. But you need to learn to trust yourself." She was right. We know how to keep our opinions to ourselves. We know how to second guess ourselves. We know how to… Continue reading What Keeps Women From Listening To Their Intuition
I define body acceptance as: treating my body with respect, dignity, and love no matter what it looks like or it's current size. There may be things I want to work on, or struggle with, but my body always deserves to be treated with dignity - because it's my only vessel in this life. It deserves to be… Continue reading Why Body Acceptance Is A Major Part Of Self-Acceptance
This is the most I have ever weighed, besides while pregnant, and this is the happiest I have ever been. When Tyler and I got married, I was 170lbs. I know this because we both decided to weigh ourselves the day before our wedding (dumb) and both realized we were overweight. Ha. I was roughly… Continue reading This is the HEAVIEST and the HAPPIEST I have ever been

Alright! Today I am finally sharing the finished kids room!!!! I've shared about 1million photos and asked for so much feedback (on my IG stories), and here is the result: a shared space with an adorable woodland theme that will hopefully grow with the kids! My goals were simple: keep it *mostly* gender neutral, and… Continue reading Girl/Boy Room Sharing: A Woodland Theme!
The day before the caesarean we dropped our daughter off with her grandparents and went to the pre-op appintment. We decided to stay the night in the city to avoid extra driving, but that meant a total of 5 days away from JJ. Dropping her off wasn’t as emotional as I feared, because I had… Continue reading SJ’s Birth Story Part 2: Our Caesarean Birth
I found out that my baby boy had turned breech at our 36 week appointment. The midwives weren’t too concerned, and I was certain they were mistaken - but they sent me for an ultrasound anyway. I was nearly 37 weeks by the time I got in for the ultrasound, and I was CERTAIN that… Continue reading SJ’s Birth Story Part 1: Baby is Breech
