Last week I had the opportunity to head to Joshua Tree with one of my favorite Philadelphia based brands, Free People. I have been shopping Free People, Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters for longer than I can remember so being invited on…

    Marta - The photos look amazing, the desert is so pretty. And I love the romper, it looks very appropriate for spring. I’ve heard a lot about Free People over the years but I never thought of getting anything because I didn’t think they’d ship to my country but I recently found out they actually do so I might check them out.ReplyCancel

I recently scooped this blazer up and have been wearing it non stop. My friend and I were at Nordstrom and I was wearing Otis and just browsing around. It has this slouchiness to it that just makes it so casual and buttery and I had to…

    Rebecca E. - THANK YOU a million times for sharing your experience!!!!

    A friend in Germany sent your post to me and I just read it through so many tears. We just went yesterday to the Children’s hospital to meet with neurosurgery and got our Rx for a helmet for our 5.5 month old with Plagiocephaly. Our first thereapy consult and session is next week and we have been trying to re-position some for a couple of months.

    I don’t know where our journey leads us, but I will probably read this over and over again to continually remind myself that nothing I did or didn’t do caused this (Mama guilt is so so real)… and that so many of my fears are shared with other Mamas on this journey. You answered so many of my questions and I am very grateful for that.

    With gratitude and love,
    Mama E.ReplyCancel

    Rebecca - Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your helmet journey with Otis! I can relate to it so much, as we are about to put our little 10 month old in one! I feel like it is a subject that is not talked about enough, considering it has become so common. It is such an emotional whirlwind and can feel so lonely. Your post has made me feel like I’m not alone. I am wondering where your helmet decals are from? We are looking for some! Thank you!!!

    Liz C - I stumbled onto your Instagram via the adorable picture of Otis on Disney Baby. I too am a helmet mama 2 times. My oldest daughter was born with torticollis and my son was born with all over flatness. Everything you wrote was my thoughts and emotions as well, and to then have to go through it a second time was even harder. For me, having other helmet mamas give me encouragement through the process was huge and I try to pass that forward. One of the hardest things I had to endure was the opinions of those who were uneducated to the process, blaming me and calling me a lazy parent bc my babies were in helmets (including some family members). I am happy to see other helmet mamas out there educating and encouraging fellow moms.

    PS If Otis is anything like my 2, he has gotten 100% comfortable and daring in his helmet. Mine would crawl into table legs and not blink an eye. It’s a huge change for them when it comes off bc they are so used to the extra protection.ReplyCancel

      eat.sleep.wear. - Liz, Thanks for your sweet message. I am so happy to be able to help break down some of the mystery of helmet treatment. And it’s always so great to hear from other helmet mamas!! And oh man. Otis is going to be banging into everything. He totally has that daring confidence with his helmet right now. I am just so happy that his treatment is going great! Thanks again for the sweet message. xoxoReplyCancel

    Christen Cuomo - Thank you for sharing this! Our little guy just went for his first consult and I am feeling all the same guilt, shame, and sadness you mentioned. Glad to know we are not alone!ReplyCancel

Happy Friday from our little family to yours. Having a little one at home, it’s easy to get lazy and throw on gym clothes and call it a day. So here is one of my go to mom outfits. A Cozy hoodie, denim and matching sneakers with my…
