4 months postpartum with two kids: what’s changed, what’s working, and how I’m managing daily life, babywearing, and finding our flow as a family of four.

No intense wash routines - Non toxic laundry detergent - Not unnecessarily overcomplicated Please don't let all the elaborate wash routines you see online put you off cloth diapering - I am here to share that I tried all the recommendations, and it did not work for us! Cloth diapering does not need overly complicated intense wash routines or harsh detergents most of us don't want to use. I've heard so many moms speak about how they've ruined beautiful high quality cloth diape

I know cloth diapers - for Elba I bought all the different types of diapers. Some in Canada. Some I shipped from Sout Africa. And very quickly I realized I do not like pocket style diapers or all-in-ones, basically I do not like diapers where the cover is attached to the diaper. I get that it seems convenient to have only 1 piece, but it isn't - the wash is so much better if the cover and the diaper are separate. Covers do not (and should not) be washed with each use. They ca

Make your own healthy and comfortable bra!

Ian is back at work and I am home with 2 kids during the day.

Getting ready for Ian to go back to work. Reflecting on being a stay at home mom who kind of works. Digestion issues. Going out the house. Birthday party. and more.

The end of the first 40 days.

Only 1 day left.

I remember seeing her sit staring at nothing. Staring, but you could see she wasn't taking in her environment. When people spoke to her she responded in short sentences and didn't make conversation the way I knew her to. I wondered if she was just tired, or maybe still in pain from giving birth. But now I know... today I was that person sitting staring at nothing.

Like the title says - sorting out things in our home and sex. All things sex after having a baby and things like - will I have good sex again, concerns about pain, how not to get pregnant, and more.

Venturing out a bit, and then a little bit more...

Let's start this with the good news - I washed my hair! And morning cuddles (any time cuddles) with my babies are the best. Okay now the frustration. It is funny, but also not ... You know how I really wanted another bra otherwise I have the struggle of it being washed. So I made one yesterday? yeah.... What you are seeing in the image below is that I the part where my body needs to go is sewn closed... I by accidently sewed one of the back layers to the front.. So if you wan

Day 34 postpartum: navigating hair‑washing challenges with a contact‑loving newborn, finding easy ways to connect with Elba, managing a cold and mother’s thumb, returning to carrot salad and broth, sewing more footless sleepers and a new bra, appreciating thoughtful birthday treats, and grounding myself through nourishing video calls with the women who support me.

Day 33 postpartum: easing back into milky cacao and carrot salad, feeling less hormonally sensitive, craving nature, navigating tender sibling moments, processing a social interaction that disrupted our peaceful postpartum bubble, reflecting on boundaries and village dynamics, and ending the day with both of us coming down with a cold.

Day 32 postpartum: celebrating Elba’s 3rd birthday while managing a headache and exhaustion, choosing rest and hydration over pressure to “do,” easing back into projects, enjoying Ian’s first homemade cake, and revisiting tooth health and internal nourishment as I slowly feel better.

Day 31 postpartum: feeling depleted with headaches and slow digestion, leaning on daily baths for support, struggling through birthday‑gift crochet and bra‑making projects, refining our nighttime routine, reflecting on convenience vs. intentional living, and embracing the very real postpartum brain while staying grounded in what matters.

Day 30 postpartum: navigating hormone‑related breakouts, lumpy breastfeeding breasts, rising tiredness from frequent night wakings, easing back into movement, managing anxiety heightened by too much screen time, and recommitting to rest and long‑form content as I settle deeper into this season
