The first clip went viral when I shared it 2 years ago, so many positive comments highlighting how cute my sweet girl was and the patience and grace of the grocery store cashier who turned a hard moment into a core memory.

But it also got a lot of angry comments from people who assumed that we made a lot of people wait so she could help scan ( there was nobody behind us lol) and then from loads of people ( who I’m going to assume were always made to feel as though they were a burden in their own childhood, never to be heard but only seen) who were adamant that letting her be cheered up in this way when she was having a hard time would lead her to expect it every single time, never be able to handle her hard moments or be able to exist in the “real world”.

And here she is, a big and beautiful 4 year old girl who knows her way around the grocery store like it’s the back of her hand, who scans, packs up and pays for our groceries regularly. Who waits her turn patiently and quietly. Who still has big feelings and is always getting better and better at moving through them - who is the actual sweetest girl that is always the first one to try to make those around her feel better when they’re having a hard time.

We are so obsessed with rushing independence and it shows in the sea of anxious, dysregulated adults that society is made up of more and more.

Let them be little.

A baby that needs you to sleep is being a baby. A toddler that is having a hard time waiting is being a toddler. Children are not mini adults and they definitely aren’t convenient but here’s the thing, they aren’t meant to be - meeting them where they’re at allows them the space to grow at their own pace and become more confident as they grow while being securely attached.

The motivation I needed to start my own business that has grown into more than we could’ve ever imagined came from the radical shift in perspective of what truly matters by bringing our son into this world.

The courage to set stronger boundaries and the truly reciprocal relationships I’ve found as a result came from the realization that my village becomes theirs.

The consistent practice of the time management skills that allow us to build our business and bodies and community while caring for a family of 6 were born from the realization that time is our most precious resource - the kind of full body understanding that can only come from a loss of freedom so profound that it makes you realize just how much time you used to waste.

The discipline to train consistently no matter the ups and downs that life throws our way has been strengthened beyond what we knew was possible, simply from knowing that they learn how to treat their bodies by watching how we treat ours.

The patience, regulation and radical responsibility for our own emotional state that we never learned in our own childhood grows stronger every year of theirs.

Should you choose it, parenting is the ultimate journey of self improvement. Everything I am is better because of them. ❤️

My approach to baby nutrition has shifted many times over the last decade of motherhood and 4 babies. For me, it isn’t about only following baby led weaning, strictly waiting days between trying new low risk foods or making ALL of my own baby food but more of a go with the flow of our family life approach - sticking to our values of being well fed and prioritizing nutrient dense foods while also having fun and being realistic with the season of life I’m in. Turns out life and feeding a baby solids is so much easier when you’re not trying to fit in a box. You can still be intentional about feeding your baby without having it be super time consuming or stressful!

Ok let’s get into the food :) we breastfeed on demand so she had lots of milky feeds between all of the solids too :)

Strawberries are high in vitamin C which helps the absorption of the iron in red fife wheat pancakes which are naturally high in iron and many other vitamins and minerals! .basics.milling is our new obsession 🥞🍓

For baby food pouches I am for some iron, fats, micronutrients and organic whenever possible. They are so nice to have in the diaper bag for days when we are out and about!

is literally THE BEST non dairy yogurt I’ve ever had, simple ingredients, high in fats and lots of great probiotics, added h**p for some extra iron, protein and fats.

Lentil bolognese I had prepped in the fridge from a dinner a few nights ago, I just set some of hers aside before adding veg ground for ours. High in protein,l+ iron from the lentils, vitamin c from the tomatoes, tons of micronutrients and SO MUCH FLAVOUR 🍅

Let me know in the comments if you guys would like the recipe!!

✨ just want to add that every baby is so different in how much they eat and when they become interested in solids, don’t compare your baby to others on the internet and on that note don’t even compare your baby to themselves on a diff day bc they do be changing their little minds, except about playground rocks bc those are always apparently a 10/10 lol 🫶🏻

1) This play couch was a Christmas present 2 years ago and they have used it every single day since whether it’s obstacle courses or forts, playing restaurant or just an extension of our couch for movie night it’s a 10/10!

2) Craft corner - They have full access to this corner and it’s filled with everything from crayons, pencil crayons, markers, glue, clay, different types of paper and colouring books, paints and brushes and googly eyes and more. They are getting better with keeping it tidy as the littles get bigger 🫠😂 but it’s a work in progress -they LOVE to colour and draw and create and it’s been so worth the mess.

3) LEGO is upstairs in their rooms and the girls are finally old enough to build with Carter and will spend so much time making things together these days!

4) Open ended toys - the more kids we have the simpler this play room has gotten and the less toys we have in it. You’ll find: play kitchen + food, different mini doll houses, a bin of furniture for the houses, a “guy” bin, 2 bins of blocks, some vehicles, a small box of baby toys like rattles etc, some stuffies + a couple strollers. It takes 10 minutes to clean at the end of the night and they all pitch in :)

5) Library book shelf is something we just started doing recently! We love books so much in this house and I’ll grab a bag of 30ish books every week or 2 from the library and replace the books on this shelf. A mix of fiction and non, silly books for fun and books that align with homeschool topics ( bugs and spring is a big one right now!) it’s allowed for fresh books without having way too many that we own lol

6) Tickle trunk - full of costumes and wings and wands etc ✨

7) Play gym- this was their combined big Christmas present this past year, we built it ourselves and it was beyond worth the time and investment!! Especially living in a place where it snows like 70% of the year hahaha movement is one of our non negotiables and my kids LOVE physical play and rough and tumble- having a dedicated space for it so the house isn’t ✨AS✨ loud and fu**ed up from it has been very nice 🥰

8) every single day 🥰 screen free stories and songs for dance parties.
