“The child has a mind able to absorb knowledge. They have the power to teach themselves… All that we ourselves are has been made by the child, by the child we were in the first two years of our lives.”
— Maria Montessori, “The Absorbent Mind”
This quote has stayed with me. In many ways, I wish my parents had been more intentional with me in terms of the seeds of messages and beliefs they planted in my early childhood. It would have empowered me a lot earlier in life.
We’re trying to be intentional with our daughter so that she may have a strong and sturdy foundation from which to build herself from later in life.
We def don’t always get it right, but it’s moments like these that make me smile.

A Love Note To My Daughter 💌
My sweet daughter, you make me want to be the best version of myself because I know you’re watching. You’re listening to the subtle and overt cues of what it means to be human. You’re observing how I interact with myself, with your father, and with others. Your little brain and heart are like sponges soaking up the spoken and unspoken messages around you. Becoming your mama has meant I get to mother myself along the way too. And it’s been so healing. Thank you for this gift. Thank you for existing mi amorcita.

Reps. Katie Porter (California) and Lisa McClain (Michigan) have taken a major step towards ensuring our little ones' safety.
They've proposed a bill demanding baby formula makers to report ANY contamination to the FDA within 24 hours of detection.
This is all in an effort avoid another outbreak like the one in 2022, which led to a massive formula recall and subsequent formula shortage.
It also resulted in the death of two babies who consumed contaminated formula.
Did you know? Currently, formula makers test their products, but only report contaminations if they *think* they've shipped affected batches.
This new bill will also prompt the FDA to act swiftly, demanding a response within 72 hours.
Why isn’t this the standard process already?
We deserve better by our families.
Spread the word by sharing this post with a parent you know. 👶💪
Let's keep our babies safe, informed, and healthy.

School starts tomorrow at our house! 🚸
Here are some of the snacks I’m packing for my kiddo.
My main goal is to keep it tasty but keep the sugar contents low.
Why?
Because studies show that the more sugar a kid consumes in early life, the more addicted they can become to it.
Keeping her blood sugar balanced also means she’s able to better concentrate on her activities and be more present with her surroundings.
Also - cavities! 🦷 🙅🏻♀️

Every mama’s journey is different. But each is equally earth shattering for the woman experiencing ‘Matrescence’ - the birth of the Mother.
It’s a rite of passage, the crossing of a threshold. Or like Glennon Doyle calls it - Brutiful.
If you’re going through it now, hang in there and know that there will be challenges - and you will get through them.
Because you’re a warrior in the next stage of your becoming. Hold steady. Ask for help when you need it.
And remember - whatever you’re perceiving as a weakness right now - is actually your strength. Sending so much love. ❤️

It’s a rainy Saturday over here in LA and that means exploring activities that hold my daughter’s attention while also minimizing screen time. 😆
She’s really into play dough right now and I love seeing her play on her own and build her concentration muscle. ❤️
What activities do your toddlers love to do on rainy days? Share below, I need more ideas!

Brekkie is the most important meal of the day. ☀️
I like to get both her and I on the right foot.
That means eating a balanced, nutrient-dense meal filled with protein, quality fats like olive oil and egg yolks, and fiber from veggies we both enjoy like mushrooms and bell peppers.
She eats what we eat - at home and almost always at restaurants. (Kid’s menus tend to be full of carbs and processed junk.)
This is today’s brekkie - she ate two more mandarins after this. 😆
What’s your favorite brekkie to feed your littles? Comment below - I’d love to get more ideas from you!

Summer’s blazing here in SoCal so I’m really trying to keep us all hydrated over here! Kids’ little bodies are especially vulnerable to dehydration because they lose fluids and electrolytes faster than we do. I give my toddler this “lemonade” because it’s lower in sodium but has nice levels of vital micronutrients like calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and zinc. It’s got pretty clean ingredients and no sugar! #toddlermomlife #stayhydratedmyfriends #toddlerhealth #keepyourbodyhydrated
