5 tips for a smooth transition back to work after maternity leave

November 20, 2020
Those first few weeks after going back to work are HARD! Notice I didn’t say “it can be hard” or “it’s sometimes hard” – it’s *always* hard, no matter how much you prep ahead of time.

Baby must-have items (3-6 months)

I feel like during this 3 month period we used A LOT of the same key items that we did during the first 3 months after Mia was born, so there are a few overlapping items that were still total must-haves for us.

LIFE UPDATE ✨ Hey friends! I took an unexpected LIFE UPDATE ✨

Hey friends! I took an unexpected social media break the past month because life threw us some unexpected curveballs and something had to give. For me, it was taking a step back from this space and focusing on family and some big changes! I’m so happy to be back though, and thought I’d share a little update on what we’ve been upto these last few weeks.

⋒ Shawn tested + for C 2 days before our birthdays, so he isolated from the rest of us and we spent our birthdays apart for the first time in 10 years 😢

⋒ we sold our condo and *finally* closed on our new home that we bought 2 years ago!!

⋒ we celebrated Jayden’s first Easter and had the best time doing alllll the Easter activities with them (since Mia is older this year, doing egg hunts + Easter crafts with her was so much more fun)

⋒ and finally we’ve been spending a lot of time slowly getting our new home set up and packed away 

Can’t wait to take you guys on a tour of the new place very soon✌🏽
Jayden turned 6 months old a few weeks ago! I’m Jayden turned 6 months old a few weeks ago! I’m still in shock that 6 whole months have already gone by, it truly feels like just yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital to meet his big sister.

My sweet little JJ has already filled our hearts with so much love and joy in his short time here. He’s the son I never knew I needed in my life, and the best baby brother to balance out Mia. 

I love him. I love him. I love him.

💙

(ps. Mia helped bake cupcakes to celebrate that day and he was supposed to get one lick, but we got distracted for 2 seconds and he went IN on it 🤪😬)
For his mercies never fail. They are new every mor For his mercies never fail. They are new every morning ✨
