Breastfeeding has been one of the most intimate and transformative parts of my motherhood journey. From the moment my daughter was born, it felt surreal to offer my body to feed her—but minutes afterward, skin-to-skin, she instinctively crawled up my chest and latched on. I don’t even know if she got anything, but she latched—and yes, it hurt a bit but there was something powerful in that moment that will stick with me forever.

If you're based in DC and considering breastfeeding or pumping, the good news is—you have access to some of the best free support in the country. Here's a full breakdown of where to go, who to contact, and what you'll get.

As your due date approaches, it’s completely normal to feel a mix of excitement and uncertainty. One way to ease anxiety and feel more in control of your birth experience is by creating a Birth Preferences Plan—also commonly called a birth plan. I've created a free, editable Birth Plan Template to help make the process smoother for you. You can download it from one of the links below and customize it to suit your unique needs and values.

Yes! It's possible! Instead of spending hours upon hours researching and adding products to your baby registry you can just copy mine and have a HUGE head start! Everything on my public registry has been personally vetted and I either LOVE the product, or a close friend of mine does and I've heard about it so much it has earned a spot here.

I started building my hospital bag checklist around month two. I researched birthing methods, meditations, and medicines, trying to prepare for every possibility. In the end, I didn’t use half the things I packed, and a few items I was sure would be game-changers turned out to be totally impractical. So in the checklist I’ve created for you here, I’ve narrowed it down to what you actually need—plus a few thoughtful extras that, in my opinion, are genuinely worth the space.

Becoming a parent means suddenly needing all the things—and quickly realizing how expensive those “essentials” can be. From baby gear and nursery must-haves to toddler toys and mama favorites, I know how fast the costs can add up. That’s why I’ve rounded up a list of exclusive discount codes you can use to save money while stocking up.

As a mom, I’m always on the lookout for screen time that actually serves my toddler—not just entertains her, but reflects her, teaches her, and makes her feel seen and celebrated. Representation matters so much, especially in the early years when our little ones are absorbing everything. If you’ve been searching for shows that center Black children, families, and educators in joyful, enriching ways—this list is for you!
