Growing up I never understood why when my brother and I asked my mom what she wanted for Mother’s Day, without fail, she would answer, “Nothing, I just want to spend time with you guys and your dad!”. Sometimes there was even a pleading, “Seriously, don’t get me anything. I want you to spend your money on you.”. At the time this felt like such a mom response (and still does). Of course I always planned to spend the day with her, but even as a kid I knew it was important to show my gratitude for the woman I love the most in some other way.

Co-sleeping was never our plan. We fought it hard the first year of Owen’s life because we felt there was a “right” way we needed to do things. Sharing a bed didn’t necessarily fit into our expectations as first time parents and we had the misconception that embracing co-sleeping would be some sort of a failure on our end. It wasn’t easy to process and let go of the immense amount of pressure we had placed on ourselves, but the moment that we really started listening to our guts things shifted for our family in the best way possible. On today’s episode of Mom and Dad Made a Podcast we’re sharing more about our journey with co-sleeping and why it’s been beneficial for our family. Download, listen & subscribe.
If you’ve been following along here since this past fall, you know that after our break in history we took the initiative to keep my parent’s historic home safe by installing Logitech’s Circle 2 Camera. Now that we’re back in Brooklyn, in a new apartment, we made it a priority to keep our space safe here as well. Even though we aren’t in the same state or city as my parents, we wanted to leave them with their security camera and start fresh on our own.
