A mini love letter to parent/baby classes:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of the many things new parents had to miss out on during the pandemic was parent/baby classes. With things reopening, and when you feel safe, I want to send a little encouragement out in the world for new parents to attend these. For me, the days of postpartum before returning to work were long and lonely. A saving grace to me was attending a variety of activities with Charlie. These classes gave me a community of parents who could directly relate to my day to day. Together we were in the trenches together of parenthood and this sense of connection to community brought me comfort and strength. Here are some classes we enjoyed:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Swim classes at @lapetitebaleen , which are FREE for babies under 6months. Essentially think water therapy and music class combined.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
@kinspacefamily new parents group/class. Charlie and I took a 6 week course immediately after she was born with a group of mothers all with similar age babies. At the time we meet weekly at Sprout SF in the Marina, walking distance from our apartment. In this class we learned a lot about our babies, milestones, parenthood and gave space for plenty of laughing and sometimes tears.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
New Moms Support groups + parent/baby yoga classes at @practice.sf . My love for this place was no secret. I was first introduced to this gem when I was renting a shared office right across the street on Union. I hosted a family mini-session here back in the day and fell in love. When I became a mom my love tripled. Their postpartum yoga was wonderful, gentile and I could bring Charlie and literally breastfeed half the class if I needed to. Eric even attended a few yoga classes with us. The new moms support group was a safe space to vent feelings and gain perspective. Lead by a lovely therapist, this drop in class helped on those tough weeks when I needed a little extra support.

Tiny toes. It seems like only a few days ago they where kicking into my ribcage and dancing around in my belly. Now those same tiny toes are running, climbing and jumping around the livingroom. How did you grow so quickly from a tiny new baby to a wild toddler.

Home from our family adventures 🏕. Grateful for the opportunity to get away from the office for few days with these two. Also very grateful they are both willing to participate in photoshoot shenanigans in beautiful places. California, you’re beautiful.

Grab a friend and head outdoors 🌾

Today we are taking Charlie girl on her very first camping trip. Camping with a two year old, this will either be a brilliant or very dumb idea. Wish us luck!

PS: this was the CUTEST set up ever. I had a fun idea so put together a little DIY and recruited a friends to model. These two squeezes look like they could be siblings but are actually friends about 9months apart in age. Thank you @babspeaks for always being willing to model for my fun ideas. It’s so fun watching Caden and Charlie together!

🧸A cuddly stuffed animal from home
⭐️ Felt figurines or small knit items
🧺Textiles and textures
❤️Simple and small handheld toys
✨Personal items from your nursery

It’s a sand between your toes kind of day. Our favorite activity on the weekends these days is taking Charlie to Alameda beach. She LOVES to splash in the water and play in the sand. What does your family love to do on the weekends?
