Bedtime with Josie is one of my favorite parts of Bedtime with Josie is one of my favorite parts of the day. #sponsored It's dark and quiet and she's so sleepy + snuggly. I try to make the last 30 minutes calm and soothing. We read (if she can stay awake - gf can't hang past 6:30pm) and have our last nursing session - just the two of us bonding. I know that these moments go too quickly, so I savor it as best I can. When it comes to the products we have + use in our kid's rooms, @potterybarnkids gives us quality we can count on. Josie's fitted crib sheet is from Pottery Barn Kids (Parker's were too!), and these sweet jammies and Rainbow Hooded Towel are as well (they are sooooo soft). Grateful beyond for these peaceful nighttime moments with my little girl <3 #lovemypbk
lgbtq+ individuals are 2.5 times more likely to ex lgbtq+ individuals are 2.5 times more likely to experience anxiety, depression or substance abuse compared with heterosexual individuals. and the suicide rate is 4x as high for lgbtq+ youth.*being lgbtq+ is NOT a mental illness. the reason for the disparity is the lack of support these individuals either feel or actually have.i have to say that I have found the most incredible community here on IG. while it can be hard to show up every day, know that by sharing your family, your love, your story, you could actually be saving someone's life. so on the days when things get hard, I remember that.being visible isn't always so easy. but that young kid out there who is questioning themselves ... they're worth it. 🌈💜* info from psychiatry.org
Anyone else's kids go haywire at night? #sponsored Anyone else's kids go haywire at night? #sponsored No matter what we do during the day, we always have our witching hour over here before bedtime. So we go from bath to fun + silly to calm down snuggles all with @PotteryBarnKids. We let Parker get all his sillies out - whether it's playing dinosaur, jumping on the bed in his Space Pajama Set or running in circles - whatever needs to happen to wind down for the night. We feel so blessed that we are all home together every single night to do bedtime as a family. The quiet + peaceful moments to reflect on the day and just love up on one another. Every night, we ask Parker what his favorite part of his day was and then repeat our mantra: you are brave, you are safe, you are strong, you are loved, you are smart, you are kind and i love you with all my heart. I love having positive little rituals that we do to bring the day to a close. And we have Pottery Barn Kids with us throughout these moments. #lovemypbk
