As a first-time mum, I quickly learned how important the right chair is when it comes to nursing. You spend so many hours feeding and soothing your baby, so finding a chair that’s comfortable and supportive is key. For me, armrests are a must—they give your arms a break during those long feeds. I also love the ability to rock or glide, which helps settle the baby (and me!) when we’re both trying to relax. While reclining is ideal for those late-night sessions, not all chairs have that feature, but a good footstool can do wonders in those cases. Here are my top picks for nursing chairs that tick all the boxes, ensuring both you and your little one are comfortable.

Birthday parties for kids can still look fancy and feel fun without costing an arm and a leg. Start planning in advance, lean heavily on DIY or grocery store catering and you can build a birthday bash that’s balling on a budget. Your child won’t know the difference and you’ll have money leftover for a rainy day. Better yet you do not have to pressure other parents with expensive gifts - just let them know not to spend more than $5 or to skip a gift all together.

The best teacher appreciation gifts are heartfelt and practical, and generally fall into one of two categories: something that can be used in the classroom to enhance students’ experiences, or something that expresses gratitude for a job well done. And don’t underestimate the power of a note of thanks paired with cash in the form of a gift card. After all, teachers often spend their own money on supplies for their classrooms, and there’s a limit to the number of coffee mugs or candles one person can use. Our advice: Avoid items that a teacher may already own or things that are over-the-top expensive, which can fall into an against-school-policy gray area unless you pool resources from multiple parents or families.

As mothers, we do so much to care for our children’s daily needs—but the deeper work, the soul work, is often found in the little moments: a warm meal, a story read slowly, a prayer whispered at bedtime. Teaching our kids to nurture their whole selves doesn’t require perfection—just presence. In our home, we try to raise children who feel connected to their bodies, curious in their minds, and anchored in their souls. It’s not always tidy, but it’s always intentional. Here’s how we begin.
