Let Freedom RING!

July 4, 2016
by

Happy 4th of July, mamas! Today is my favorite holiday of the year. That might sound weird to some people, 4th of July being my favorite holiday, but think about it… Who doesn’t like summer days spent with loved ones? Who doesn’t love having an extra day off of work? Who doesn’t enjoy watching a parade or going to the beach or to the lake and watching fireworks? Who doesn’t have fun going to a party and having a barbecue with a bottle of beer and wine at your home? And who doesn’t love and appreciate our wonderful country and all of the opportunities that it provides? Seriously, July 4th is an incredible holiday so let freedom RING!!

I always loved 4th of July, but it wasn’t until last year when it became my favorite holiday. I literally took the saying ‘let freedom ring‘ to a whole new level last year when I exchanged rings and said “I do” to my husband, Brian. That’s right, today is our one year wedding anniversary. 🙂

It’s crazy to think that it has been a year since this magical day. I guess time flies by when you are having fun and working hard. I find it funny how America gained its independence 240 years ago today, but Brian lost his independence a year ago today. 😉 hahaha! (That joke that never gets old.) But seriously, I hope you all are getting to do something fun today to celebrate!

Happy 4th of July, everyone! What are you doing today? Any fun plans? I’d love to know so I can have some fun ideas for years to come.

5 Things I Wish I Had Known About Potty Training⁠ 🚽⁠ .⁠ Let’s talk about potty training! It’s one of those monumental milestones we mamas walk through with our toddlers that make them suddenly seem like they went from babies to tiny little humans overnight. And, while it can be an exciting time (and a time to save some serious cash by ditching diapers), it can also come with lots of stress. 🙃 From cleaning up potty accidents for what may seem like days (or even weeks) to wondering if you’ll ever be able to drive further than down the block without having to stop for a potty break 🤦‍♀️, potty training can be daunting.⁠ ⁠ But, what many moms agree on is that once it’s done, you kinda forget about all the stress that came along with it. Kinda like pregnancy and giving birth —you just sort of forget about it all until you do it all over again.⁠ 🤪⁠ ⁠ Here are five things I wish I had known about potty training before I jumped into it with my then two-and-a-half-year-old daughter. Because, if I had known these things, I think I would have been a bit more laid back about the whole thing! {Click 🔗 in bio to continue reading!⁠}⁠ .⁠ Article by: Rebecca Jacobs⁠ 📷: @reesetriplets

It is no surprise, then, that fertility treatments are becoming more of a necessity for couples who are faced with infertility and wish to have children. While there are many types of fertility treatments, IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) is one of the most commonly known options. However, the high cost of IVF is often cited as the primary obstacle to undergoing treatment. 💸 Let's take a look at what IVF entails, and how much IVF costs. {Click 🔗 in bio to continue reading!⁠}⁠ .⁠ Article by: @kristen_vhmiddleton⁠ 📷: @lizbrownfitness

Daddy Chronicles: Breastfeeding 💙⁠ by @chroni Daddy Chronicles: Breastfeeding 💙⁠ by @chroniclesofdaddy⁠ ⁠ I've been asked so many questions by men about fatherhood. So I figured I'd drop some knowledge on my fellow Dads and soon-to-be-Dads. Here's what it looks like for the first few weeks or months after your child is born. Yup. If mom breastfeeds they pretty much are tucked like this and at times you'll wonder "what is there for me to do?" Here are my top 5 tips for any Dad after your child is born.⁠ ⁠ 1️⃣ For night feedings. When mom wakes up in the middle of the night, you get up and ask if she needs any help or water. The truth is most of the time she will say no but just the fact that you offered will go far.⁠ ⁠ 2️⃣ Ask mom if she can pump and then pick 1 feeding that you will always do. Mom will take on almost everything and will burn herself out if you let her. At times you may have to force her to rest without worrying about the baby. This is an easy way to do that without a fight.⁠ ⁠ 3️⃣ Don't put a time limit on how long mom breastfeeds the baby. It's not just about feeding your child it's about them bonding as well. I know everyone has a different length of time they will breastfeed and as a Dad, it's hard to fully understand. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT try and rush this process. It's not our place and it's not safe. You will open yourself up to a fight you can't win.⁠ ⁠ 4️⃣ Be patient. I know as a Dad the first few weeks we are equally excited and yet not as important. Your time will come faster than you know. Babies grow fast and the stronger and bigger they get the more Daddy Time will be coming your way.⁠ ⁠ 5️⃣ Paternity leave! If you have it TAKE IT. The early stages of a child's life are not just for moms to enjoy. I know as men making the money especially after having a baby it's hard, but trust me. You can always make money but there are no instant replays in life. It doesn't make you more of a man to not take the leave. It's equally as important that you as a Dad get to be a part of the early development of your child. ⁠ If someone needs this info tag them ❤️⁠ ...⁠ Absolutely love these tips from @chroniclesofdaddy. 🙌

7 Postpartum Yoga Poses That Strengthen Your Body 7 Postpartum Yoga Poses That Strengthen Your Body After Baby 🧘‍♀️⁠ .⁠ The postpartum period, or period of recovery that takes place after a mother gives birth, is an important time for mothers to take care of themselves. 🥰 Typically, if you’re less than 6 weeks postpartum you don’t want to put any pressure on your core muscles. Also, your body’s levels of relaxin, the hormone that loosens joints to prepare for childbirth, is elevated for 3-6 months after childbirth, and longer if you are breastfeeding. All this means is: take these postpartum yoga poses slowly and stretch yourself gently. No gymnastics here or pushing beyond what is comfortable.⁠ ⁠ Remember, every mama’s body is different, so listen to how you feel and seek advice from a medical professional if you have questions about how and when to begin your personal exercise plan. Note: Try to do the following yoga poses in the order they are listed. {Click 🔗 in bio to see the 7 yoga poses to strengthen your body after baby!⁠}⁠ .⁠ Article by: @kristen_vhmiddleton⁠ 📷 taken by: @allisonermon_photography

A step-by-step guide 🚽⁠ .⁠ 1️⃣ Look for signs of readiness:⁠ - Diaper dry for at least 1-2 hours.⁠ - Pulling at their diaper when its wet or soiled.⁠ - Hiding or fidgeting when going pee or poo in diaper.⁠ - Interest in others using the potty.⁠ - Waking up with a dry diaper after naps.⁠ - Telling you when they have gone pee or poo.⁠ ⁠ Potty training is much quicker if your child is showing the above signs, but you can start before this.⁠ ⁠ 2️⃣ What you will need to buy:⁠ - Toilet seat insert to place on your toilet⁠ - Steps⁠ - Underwear (at least 10 pairs)⁠ - Foldable toilet seat (for when you are out of the house)⁠ - Piddle pad (for car journeys)⁠ - Waterproof shoes such as crocs, sliders, etc. (they can be rinsed and dried)⁠ - Not necessary but helpful: flushable wipes⁠ ⁠ 3️⃣ Getting yourself and your child prepared:⁠ - Talk to your child about using the potty, maybe take them into the bathroom when you go and talk them through the process (e.g. wiping, flushing, and washing hands, etc.)⁠ - Practice pulling pants or shorts up and down.⁠ - Look on YouTube with your child at some potty training stories (e.g. 'I Want My Potty' and 'Pirate Pete's Potty')⁠ - Involve your child in choosing and buying everything you need - choosing character-themed underwear is usually very exciting!⁠ - Sit your child on the potty at every diaper change, first thing in the morning and just before bed to get them used to sitting on the toilet.⁠ - Teach your child the correct vocabulary or signs needed to communicate when they need to go potty.⁠ - Make sure you have plenty of spare clothes.⁠ ⁠ 4️⃣ Let's get toilet trained:⁠ - Get your child to choose a pair of underwear and put them on.⁠ - Talk to them about using the toilet and communicating when they need to pee or poo. You can sit them on the toilet at this point if you wish.⁠ - Take your child to the toilet every 15/20 minutes. Say "let's go to the potty" rather than asking "do you want to go to the toilet" - if you ask, they are likely to say no! Also, look for signs like moving from side-to-side or hiding. These are normal signs that they might need to go potty.⁠ ⁠ (Continue reading in the comments!)

I am a big advocate for breastfeeding. There are s I am a big advocate for breastfeeding. There are so many AMAZING benefits for the mother and child. But you know what I am an even bigger advocate for? A mother's well-being -- her physical, emotional, and mental health!!⁠ ⁠ Sometimes we make plans and God laughs. Some of us plan to breastfeed our babies for 3 months, 6 months, a year, 2 years. Some of us meet our goals and some of us don't. (🙋‍♀️ My goal was to reach a year and made it 7 months.) Breastfeeding can be a lot more challenging than many of us expect. There can be complications along the way, the baby could have allergies, and sometimes breastfeeding or pumping can take an immense toll on a mother's mental health.⁠ ⁠ It is my firm belief that we must care for and support the new mother just as much as we care for and support the new child. 💕 While I feel there is so much value in breast milk, in my opinion, if it compromises the health of the mother, it is not worth it. As long as the baby is being fed, cared for, and loved, that is all that matters. And for the mother to grow and thrive in her new role as a parent to continue caring for her child, she needs to do what she feels is best for herself and her family. Sometimes that is not breastfeeding or pumping.⁠ ⁠ No matter your feeding experience or preference, you are a good mother. Whether your choice was made by you or made for you, you must do what is right for you and your baby. Your health (mentally, physically, emotionally) matters. ❤️

Such as looking at stay-at-home-motherhood through the lens of sheer fulfillment that comes from spending quality time with your kids and teaching them the ways of life. For me, what I eventually realized after my second child was born was that I needed to create a lifestyle that filled in the gaps where I felt something was missing. Specifically, I needed someone to help me manage my kids and my household.
