Let’s start the week off right!!

11/23/2025

Some days, it’s the big wins that light me up…helping mom and baby enjoy feedings because baby is having fun, seeing a parent breathe easier, or celebrating a new milestone.

And other days? It’s the little joys—like my tiny frog tea steeper keeping me company on a dreary afternoon while I work on some reading for lactation training.

At Grow Well (and in life), the small things matter. They add up, they ground us, and they remind us to slow down and savor the moment. And celebrate the wins!

Here’s your reminder to look for the little joys today…they really do make everything feel lighter.

I would love to know what is bringing you joy today!

This week I have had multiple things that have made me feel happy…dinner to celebrate my birthday with my gym girls, a few networking things with Chamber friends, networking dinner with other private practice owners…and something that always brings me joy…great coffee!!!

Today I was able to stop at Exit 11 Coffee in St. Peters end got to enjoy my delicious oat milk latte!!

My question to you is: what is your go to coffee shop order??

Some people say that crawling isn’t important…but as a St. Charles pediatric Occupational Therapist specializing in babies, I disagree!

Crawling is BIG for development.

It strengthens the core, hips, and shoulders…helps hand-eye coordination… supports bilateral coordination…and even lays the groundwork for reading and writing later on.

Even is your baby starts walking, crawling can still be a skill to work on for all that great motor and brain development!

Every wiggle, rock, and scoot is progress, and it all matters. If your baby needs a little help getting there, I’d love to guide you.

If you’re parenting a preemie, here are a few things I want you to know:
✨ Your baby is strong. Their resilience is incredible.
✨ You’re doing an amazing job. NICU and early transitions take courage, love, and endurance.
✨ Progress looks different for every child. Preemies follow their own developmental rhythm.
✨ Remember to use adjusted age. It helps you see your baby’s skills in the right context.
✨ Feeding skills take time. Suck–swallow–breathe coordination develops gradually and small improvements are worth celebrating!

In the next slides, I’m sharing a few simple ways that neonatal touch and infant massage can support your baby’s development, both in the NICU and at home.

Gentle, intentional touch can help:
✨ Regulate your baby’s nervous system
✨ Support bonding and connection
✨ Improve digestion and feeding comfort
✨ Reduce stress for both baby and parent
✨ Promote motor development and body awareness

If you ever need support with feeding, development, or early transitions after NICU life, Grow Well is here for you. You and your tiny warrior are not alone.

I have a lot to feel thankful about today for and would love to hear what is making you feel good this week!!

The picture is of some sidewalk chalk in my neighborhood and it definitely made me smile!! The weather had been lovely this week and it was my birthday week! I had a great meeting about collaboration to help support families in the community, and got to see Cottleville - Weldon Spring Chamber of Commerce friends at a couple of events this week! It’s been a good one!

Tell me what wins you have had this week or what made you smile!

World Kindness Day is my kind of day!

Whether it’s helping babies and their families with Grow Well or capturing joyful memories behind the camera with Creative Visions Photography, my heart is happiest when I’m helping others and spreading a little kindness along the way.

Let’s make today (and every day) a reminder that kindness never goes out of style.

It’s my birthday today, so it feels like a good time to share this lip sync…I would love to help you figure out “what’s going on” with your baby!!

This , my heart is full. I got to work with Santa (yes, the Santa Frank!) to capture all the sweet smiles and laughter (and a few tears) as we get ready for the Christmas season. We had a donation drive to help help raise donations for two incredible local nonprofits. Whether I’m behind the camera with Creative Visions Photography or supporting families through Grow Well@, giving back to our community is such a blessing.
