I’m Back! (And Pregnant!)

We have big news! Baby number 2 is due August 2026!!

I know, I know. I’m so flakey when it comes to posting on socials, especially Lemon8, but I do want to share more about this pregnancy, especially since we follow a more alternative route and if I can inspire just one person to find a different path that she ultimately feels more comfortable with (because that’s truly what it comes down to), I’d say it’s all worth it!

Anyway, follow along if you want to see pregnancy/home birth/postpartum prep, toddler-mom-hood, our incoming summer garden, nesting projects (for hubby too!), quick and easy recipe ideas, maternity outfit inspo, and thrift hauls!
