#AD I am all about chemical free products when it

#AD I am all about chemical free products when it comes to Emma! When I heard about @barerepublic sunscreen I knew it was our perfect fit! Not only is it perfect for protecting both me and Emma from the harsh rays but @barerepublic also has No chemical actives, No synthetic fragrances, No parabens basically that means no worries for your family! Available at gobareoutside.com and @krogerco #gobareoutside

#AD| Time seems to be going by a little slower these last three weeks. Emma was diagnosed with #T1D three weeks ago and every moment since I have been in a slight panic! Constantly worried about her blood sugars, insulin, or how long it’s been since her last correction.

Needless to say I have been staring at my watch a lot these last few weeks. Counting down the time till I can correct her blood sugars again!

My watch is from @nordgreenofficial when you buy a watch from NordGreen you are given the choice to choose between three causes:
*2 months of clean water to a family in Central African republic
*1 month of education to a child in India
*Preserving 200 sqft of rainforest in Latin America
It’s amazing to know that this purchase is supporting children and families who need our help!

If you are looking for a new watch I couldn’t recommend @nordgreenofficial more! Use code INSPO15 for 15% off your purchase! Link in my bio❤️ #nordgreen #nordgreenwatches

When Emma was put on the @dexcom last week I also started it! We do all our change outs at the same time, we wear matching bandages, and she gets to pick out our matching stickers with every change out! I want to show her that diabetes can’t stop her and she is no different then any other toddler!

This week Emma picked out the mermaid scale Dexcom stickers! I am loving the extra fun it adds and how happy she is to pick out her sticker!

Our stickers are from @lukasparttimepancreas they have so many fun stickers, T-shirt, even coffee tumblers! Use the code Emma10 for 10% off your order of 15 dollars or more! They have the cutest things and the momma who runs it is amazing. She has helped me so much since Emma’s diagnosis! Her little boy @lukaskellogg is absolutely adorable and was diagnosed around the same age as Emma!

#ad| I have been doing everything to keep my little girl healthy! With her new #T1D diagnosis I am dreading our first sick day. I have been taking Emma’s temperature daily just to make sure she isn’t getting sick! We have been loving the sinocare infrared thermometer, it is nontouch you just point and click to see her temperature!

Check out my latest blog post on steps we are taking to keep this little girl healthy!

Have you ever loved a product so much that you need to tell everyone about it? #ad That is exactly how I feel about @philipsavent Soothie Snuggle! We have been using them since Emma was born and they have become our diaper bag must have!

Emma loves them because they have her favorite pacifiers attached but also because they has a friend to cuddle at the same time! As a new mommy one of my main concerns is cleaning and sanitizing. Thankfully, it is easy to clean Emma’s @philipsavent Soothie Snuggle. And both the pacifier and the snuggle can be cleaned completely. Click the link in my bio #switchToSnuggle #SoothieSnuggle

#AD Emma’s favorite snack is @littlebellies their organic puffs are our go to! This morning Emma had a great blood sugar and got to enjoy the Little Bellies Organic Blueberry Puffs after breakfast!

Her little smile always brightens my day and her Little Bellies definitely helped brighten her day!

There are so many reasons to love @littlebellies With no artificial colors, flavors or additives, they are certified organic snacks that nurture young palates and help encourage safe self-feeding. Every mom can feel great about these snacks for their little ones! #LittleBellies, #dowhatsnatural, #letsplaywithfood

One of my amazing readers nominated Emma for a @tinysuperheroes cape this is an organization that makes capes for children diagnosed with illnesses. When a child is nominated a donation page is created, when they reach 50 dollars their cape is sent to that child. Emma's page has not only paid for her own cape but also a cape for two other Tiny Super Hero's! Thank you for the nomination and the donations Emma's cape is helping her be strong and brave everyday! It's amazing knowing that two other kids have their capes now too!

Yesterday I posted an Emma update on the blog, the link is in my bio!

Her smile is back and she is showing off her new @dexcom with pride! So proud of our little fighter!

This is one of the first days I feel good and less overwhelmed by her #type1diabetes diagnosis. It was so nice to see my happy little girl smile again and just enjoy being a toddler!

So happy to have this little girl back home! She is so strong and so brave. At such a young age she doesn’t understand that her insulin injections are helping her, she just knows they hurt.
But regardless she is still smiling. Seeing your child so sick is the most terrifying experience! This little fighter is my hero, while we were crumbling she was fighting! 💙💙

Well it has been a horrible few days but Emma is finally home and we are ready to start this next chapter to get her healthy and back to her old self!

Yesterday she had a sugar of 118, which is her best sugar yet! There is a lot to learn about toddlers with diabetes, we are lucky to have knowledge with our own diabetes but it hasn’t made this experience less overwhelming or less heartbreaking.

I wanted to thank all the #t1dmoms for your support and advice. Talking with you all these last few days has made this process so much better, it’s easy to feel alone and overwhelmed but with a community like this the transition is becoming easier! Thank you for helping and supporting us!

Not what we were planning on posting about today but Emma has been diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes.

As many of you know both Tyler and I are diabetics, this has been something we feared since we found out Emma was on her way since it is a genetic disease.

It has been a very hard few days, we are learning how to care for a toddler who now needs insulin injections and a strict diet.

I will be writing about this on the blog when I have time but for now please know that Emma is safe and the hospital is doing an amazing job caring for her.

We appreciate all the positive thoughts and prayers as we navigate this new chapter.

If you are a Type 1 momma and have advice to help us with this new diagnosis please let me know!

Motherhood is messy, chaotic, and exhausting! Yet,

“The two most powerful warriors are patience and time” -Leo Tolstoy, War & Peace
.
I never truly understood this quote until I became a mom. My understanding for both patience and time has changed so much! Patience has become a way of life. Understanding that your child will learn and grow as you teach them and help them. Time has become both an enemy and a friend, as she grows I begin missing the younger stages but enjoy watching the women she is becoming!
.
I am also loving my beautiful new watch from @nordgreenofficial the quality is amazing and it is beautiful! But I also fell in love with the #nordgreen company because of their sustainability and their drive to do good! #gifted
.
The #nordgreenwatches are Ethically made in Danish-owned union-certified factories. They package their watches in beautiful Eco-friendly packaging made of up-cycled plastics & FSC- certified cartons. They have an amazing Giving Back Programme with global NGOs (Water for Good, PrathamUK, CoolEarth) : customers can choose one of the three causes that Nordgreen supports
2 months of clean water to a family in Central African republic 1 month of education to a child in India
Preserving 200 sqft of rainforest in Latin America!

How amazing is that! Use code: INSPO15 for 15% off your purchase! You can find the link in my bio

#AD A momma has to spoil herself sometimes too! I love when my @bootaybag_ arrives every month. Starting at just $10/month, get your favorite undies delivered right to your door. It is always fun to see what gets delivered each month!
I started my #subscription #postpartum to help me feel like myself again! Sometimes a little #selfcare is exactly what you need.

How can you pick just one doll to love?

Having a toddler is amazing, I still miss the baby stage but I am loving the personality and opinions I see in this girl everyday!

From picking a doll to the sarcastic “mama” I get when feeding her something she doesn’t want.

My little baby has turned into a little girl and she is beyond amazing!

This is us!
My whole world, my whole heart, my everything! My family is the cure to every bad day and every challenge! I have become stronger, more patient, and more loving since becoming a mom. I never thought two people could mean as much to me as these two do, the love in my heart and our home is more love then I thought one person could feel! Thank you for being you and making us us!
