It was another beautiful year of…
✨ Babies finding their bodies
✨ Parents finding confidence
✨ Floor time becoming joy
✨ Milestones celebrated (& de-pressurized)
✨ Rounder baby heads without helmets
✨ Creating community in pregnancy & beyond
✨ So much learning, unlearning & growing — right alongside families
It was a challenging year both personally & professionally, coming back from maternity leave at the beginning of the year & trying to squeeze the same amount of work, if not more, into two days when I had been working four days a week prior to B’s birth. I saw you on weekends & during times my husband could push off his own work meetings. We met virtually, in your homes, at local parks, at community spaces & in daycares. Several times I was ready to throw in the towel & either stay home full time or find a “real job”. This work, walking alongside parents as they step into parenthood & during their most vulnerable moments of fresh, new parenthood, can be really heavy sometimes. I found myself exhausted & doubting whether I was really meant to do this work, wondering if it was time to move on.
But you kept showing up, asking the questions, wanting the support & sending your friends next. As long as you do that, I’ll be here 🫶🏻
Cheers to 2026 🥂 — maybe I’ll finally figure out how to automate those marketing & follow up emails and get my documentation done in a timely manner. Here’s to hoping 😅
