We found out we were pregnant with our second baby on Thanksgiving morning in 2018, after just a couple months of trying. I will never forget this morning. Aria, who had just turned two, was snuggling in our bed. I took the pregnancy test and brought it over to my husband. As I showed them […]
Feeling blessed during a time of uncertainty. 2020, the year that no one will ever forget, the year that threw us all for a loop in many different ways, some much more severe than others, but we all had one thing in common: We all have had to carry around the heaviness of the unknown […]
Today was the day that the mental burden of Covid outweighed the physical fear. They tell you that parenting is hard. It is. The infant stage, the toddler stage, the little kid stage and I presume the rest of the growing up stages too. Each one has their own challenges and similarly each one has […]
Can you believe it’s that time of year again? Have you started planning out how you’re going to manage your holidays? Or maybe you’ve already started Christmas shopping?! I’m not quite there yet but I’m certainly thinking about it. I love the holidays and it’s so much more magical with kids now. Seeing everything through […]
My First Free Birth At 2:49 am Yosef was born in the comfort of his home and greeted by his mother, father, and four older siblings. It was my 5th birth and I decided to do a free birth. No midwife, no doctor, and no nurse. I wanted to take full responsibility and birth on my terms […]
After recently having my second baby, I’ve been so fortunate to experience the postpartum life times two. So I’m basically an expert now, right? Luckily, I had very similar births, so the recovery wasn’t too much different. Somehow my body knew exactly what to do the second time around. But as much as postpartum recovery […]
So you’re thinking about sleep training. Good, who doesn’t love sleep?! We all need it. You’re not being selfish for wanting your baby to sleep better so that you can get more sleep. Sleep is so important for our babies to grow and so parents can get rest to provide optimal care to their babies. […]
Before you had a newborn in the house, you may have spent hours prepping and cooking dinners. Maybe you and your partner even spent time creating your own recipes and putting new spins on your favorites. Now, however, you can’t even set aside 30 minutes to prepare dinner. Never fear! You can still make nutritious […]
Happy fall y’all! The school year is well underway and it looks vastly different than last year for families all across the nation. So many districts are opting for virtual school and that’s sometimes a struggle. Having kids in front of screens all day is something we’ve been told NOT to do by experts. That […]
At Baby Delight we believe that parenting is a blessing. We believe that breastfeeding and bottle-feeding your baby are both great options. Neither is the universal right option. What works for some moms won’t work for every mom. Our bodies are all different and that’s ok. It’s important to do what is right for you […]
It’s 6:06am as I sit here and write this. The littles are still sleeping and it’s eerily quiet in my house. Don’t take that as a complaint. It’s not. It’s just rare. Well, I guess it used to be rare. These days it seems this is the new norm. Rise early. Get a workout in. […]
It’s summer, which means that it’s time for you and your children to head outdoors! It’s not always easy to come up with creative ways to entertain your kids, but there’s so much to do when you’re outside. From games to sports, it’s possible for your family to have fun every day – and blow […]
When my second son Teddy was born mid February, the word coronavirus did not mean much to me. It was something I had heard about in the news but was in the back of my mind as it was only in China at the time and not a threat to us in the United States. […]
Dear husband, Some days I may not seem grateful for you. For the things you do or for the person you are. I often get frustrated when the lawn stays unmowed, when the dishes remain in the sink and when the bills pile up on the counter unpaid. I would also love for you to […]
It’s Memorial Day weekend. The unofficial start of summer. Here in New England we’re thrilled to be welcoming warmer weather and enjoying more time outside. It’s one of the small things we look forward to each day so we can get out of the house! In past years we’d be getting ready to attend cookouts […]
Though most of us have no idea what day it is, us mamas know that Mother’s Day is coming up soon. It’s a happy day. One to look forward to. And certainly one to celebrate. However, I can’t help but think of each and every type of mom out there and what this time is […]
It’s a weird time. A scary time. A time of uncertainty and a whole lot of chaos. As if parenting wasn’t hard enough, enter CORONAVIRUS. Hey thanks. Personally, I am a working mom. My children generally go to school and childcare most days (while family helps out as well). Mornings were chaotic and stressful since […]
