We don’t need to find extra time in our already busy days to practice mindfulness, if you can be aware of the feeling of weight of a hairbrush in your hands then you are already practicing meditation.

So keep reading, and at the end of each blog there will be a little actionable step for you to consider and to hopefully take.
I am writing this on the heels of having our review consultation for IVF. As we embark on this exciting adventure again, it has struck me that details from our previous experience is now a blur. This time around I want to document it for my own recollection and also to hopefully provide guidance for anyone else going through a similar situation to ours. My aim is to keep it as transparent as possible as far as our emotions and costs, although this time around should be significantly cheaper than the first because we have already gone through a bit of the procedure.
I LOVE this super simple Vegan Banana Berry Muffins recipe fromThe Teen's Vegetarian Cookbook. My little one was a little skeptical at first, but once he found a tangy berry in the mix, he was sold! You can also substitute other fruit for the berries, such as chopped peaches, apples, or dried apricots.

We loved The Lovely Haze of Baby Daysbecause it felt like an honest take on early motherhood. It was such a treat to get to speak with Lindsay to learn more about the process for her.
