I’ve always attached my worth to how #girlboss I was. How much money I made. How proud I was to pursue my career as a woman. I thought I was out there in the world, making a difference. And when I became a stay at home/work from home mom, I didn’t know how to feel about myself. I didn’t know how to feel proud as a mom. I didn’t know how to lean into motherhood without looking back.
🧡
But after months of this, I realized how toxic this was to my mind and health. How this would affect my relationship with Addie and how I’m missing the point. So I’m turning it around. Be more mindful about what I’m thinking and strive for a healthier mom mindset. Because making a positive impact on the generations to come... isn’t that the point?

BABY LED WEANING Tip: This isn’t just an ordinary avocado toast. It’s avocado toast that Addie ate 😋I’ve been sharing our #babyledweaning journey on instastories and seems like you guys are enjoying watching it too! I thought I could start sharing more info and tips on what baby led weaning is, and ideas on what you can feed your little one.
🍞
For bread, make sure to toast it a little and cut into STRIPS (if you make it too small it will be a choking hazard) like this so your baby can grab it easily. Also the first time I gave Addie 🥑 toast, she didn’t like it and barely ate it. But today, she ate the whole toast and more. That’s what happens during baby led weaning. Your baby may refuse the first time, but the key is to try again. And to KEEP OFFERING at different times. You might be surprised they will eat it up one day!

Mom Truth Tuesdays (is that even a thing?!) just shared one of my deepest confessions over on the stories. Something I struggle with every. single. day. I didn’t even know it got that bad until I realized I’ve been crying about this for months now.
It felt so lonely and crippling to keep it inside that I had to share. If you’ve missed it, here’s what I shared:
✨
1. How being proud of movements like #girlpower and #momboss really hurt me
2. How I’ve lost my sense of identity in motherhood
3. How I just need to do me and stop comparing
✨
Go check out my confession cam on the stories, and DM me or comment below if you’ve gone through or are going through the same thing. How did you get through it? Let a mama know! #confessionsofamom

Would it be dramatic to say that baby led weaning brought more joy into my life? It might be. But it’s the truth. I’d even go as far as to saying it’s improved my relationship with Addie. Not that we had a bad one, but among all the motherhood things, feeding Addie is one of the most enjoyable experiences for me. A lot of the times I feel like a clumsy and inadequate mom, but when it comes to feeding, I feel like I’m in my element. Thank you #babyledweaning for more fun in feeding, and to my sis in law @stacyannev for introducing this to me!
