Rumbling with Vulnerability @brenebrown and submitted to be a panelist @sxswedu this year. Sharing my story of working in early Ed whilst battling infertility (hello constant trigger) as a means of highlighting the potential transformation of adversity into an opportunity for growth and connection in the education setting. My hope is to also share strategies and intentional practice that helped me regulate and find peace during constant tough moments. Wish me luck and cheer me on! Especially excited to share more content with the launch of my @solbe.mar website.

Did you know that humming against your baby’s jaw can actually provide relief from teething pain? 🤯✨ Here’s the deal: our vocal cords produce vibrations when we hum, and when we place our face gently against our little one’s jaw, these vibrations transmit through their skull bones. It’s like a mini massage right where it’s needed! 💆‍♂️💖 The theory behind this technique is that the gentle vibrations help distract the baby’s sensory receptors, reducing the perception of pain and providing a soothing sensation. 🎵👶 Plus, the close contact and snuggles during this humming session create a comforting bonding experience for both mama and baby! #TeethingScience #MommyLab #HummingPhenomenon #SoothingVibrations #TeethingRelief #BabyBonding #ScienceMom #TeethingJourney #SensorySoothing #MomHacks #ParentingTips #solbemar Please remember to always consult with your pediatrician or healthcare professional for personalized advice. While this technique has shown promising results for many, every baby is unique and may require a different approach

Adventuring with my little sidekick! 🌍✨👶 I couldn’t have done it without A few must-have essentials! The Nuna Trvl Stroller has been an absolute game-changer, effortlessly gliding through any terrain. Its sleek design is just a bonus! And let’s not forget the Baby Bjorn carrier, keeping us close and connected wherever we roam. 🤗❤️ During our flight, I was tiktokfluenced by those little spin/suction doodads from Amazon...they had Archie entertained for minutes at a timr😂🌀 We also did about 10,000 dramatic readings of the Pout Pout Fish book.📚🌊 In the car, Archie’s beloved Manhattan toy kept him company in his car seat, providing endless smiles and giggles. 🚗😄 What truly touched my heart was the genuine kindness of people we encountered on our journeys. Every trip there have been at least 25 people offering their help, making me realize how beautiful the world can be. 🙏💕(I had min 12 people helping me onto the rental car shuttle at BWI 😬) Thank you all for being a part of our adventure and reminding us that love and compassion are everywhere. We’re creating lifelong memories together, and able to stay connected to our peeps 😊✨ #ParentingOnTheGo #TravelWithBaby #LoveAndKindness #solbemar #babyonboard #conmunitysupport #momlife #travelingwithkids #exploretogether #familytravel #adventureswitharchie #babyessentials

Last week was “infertility week” and it left me reeling. First, when you are in the thick of it, every week is infertility week…more like infertility seconds,minutes,hours,days,weeks,months,years. It’s all consuming. In many ways, the hopeless months and the rollercoaster of it all feels a millions miles away with Archie here. Impossible to see in the moment, but in retrospect he has made every tear, every shot, every pain, every surgery, every hard thing feel worth it. I tell him I would do it for one thousand years if it meant having him. His bright little soul has ignited my world. We waited and finally found each other. May this serve as a little bit of hope for anyone who needs it- remember that everything is happening in the exact time it’s meant to be happening. You can never know why- but good or bad? We will see. 💙💙💙 #IVFsuccess #IVFjourney #infertilityawareness #infertilitysucks #infertilitysupport #hopeafterinfertility #miraclebaby #ivfsurvivor #fertilitytreatment #IVFcommunity #ttccommunity #ttcsupport #pregnancyafterinfertility #strongertogether #nevergiveuphope #ivfmiracle #fertilityjourney #rainbowbaby #infertilitywarrior #positivevibes

Our little babe has been thriving with the first 100 days @solidstarts program and using @ezpzfun products in his first month!🍼🥄🍎 From messy faces to adorable foodie reactions, it’s been an incredible experience watching him explore new tastes and textures. 🚫🌾 As always, we’re being mindful of allergens and following recommended guidelines for introducing new foods to our little one. Remember to check with your pediatrician before starting any new feeding program! 💙💙💙 #EzpzFun #BabyFoodAdventures #YummyInTheirTummy #6MonthsOldAndLovingIt #AllergenAwareness #solbemar #BabyLedWeaning #FirstFoods #BabyFoodJourney #BabyEats #MomLife #ParentingJourney #FoodieBaby #BabyFoodInspo #FeedingBaby #StartingSolids #HealthyBaby #solidstarts #BabyMeals #NutritionForBabies #MomLifeUnplugged

Ignite Your Baby’s Brain with Artful Play! 🧠✨ Arch and I spent an hour discovering the power of play at the Harvard Art Museum with our amazing friend @louisa.penfold. We enjoyed loose parts play and captivating light/shadow play. This work creates rich sensory experiences that foster neural pathways in your baby’s developing brain. 🌈🔦 I love watching Arch explore, create, and learn through play-all whist stimulating cognitive, motor, and social development. 💡💪 Keep your eyes peeled for the next opportunity to unlock your baby’s potential and nurture their growing mind with the magic of art! Also ***BONUS***it was FREE for Family Day!❤️👶 #NeuralPathways #ArtfulPlay #HarvardArtMuseum #BabyBrainDevelopment #solbemar

Lunch with Arch brought to you by @vitalfarms and @wholefoods Trying not to be offended by this look of disgust 😂 It’s completely normal! Thankful to @solidstarts for teaching me that babies are curious little eaters! 🍽️💕 It takes patience and persistence, but keep offering a variety of flavors and textures to help babes develop their palates. Remember to always follow safe practices when introducing allergens. #BabyFeeding #FirstFoods #MomLife #FeedingJourney #solbemar (Note: Please consult with your pediatrician or a qualified healthcare professional for guidance on introducing allergens to your baby, and always follow safe practices and recommendations for your baby’s individual needs.)

@ezpzfun and @msdawnslp continue to make our feeding and oral development journey an absolute treat. We have started with breastmilk in there…but excited to make ArchMan some other foods in the coming days! Absolutely dreamy for teething discomfort! 💫💫💫 #ezpztinypops #babyledweaningideas #momlife #teething #solbemar #parentingtips #feedingbabiesismessy

We went back and forth between high chairs- there are SO many options- and many GOOD options! In the end, we are very happy with our choice! 💫The Stokke Stepps is a versatile chair designed to provide comfort and support at every stage of your child’s development. Its unique adjustable design allows you to customize the height and depth of the seat and footrest, ensuring a perfect fit for your growing child (I will say, our guys little legs didn’t quite hit the footrest- so we stacked books to make it work!). I just learned having the feet solid against the footrest can help them work food up if you find yourself in a gagging/Choke-ish situation. 💫Not only is this option functional and comfortable, but it’s also stylish and apartment-friendly. We definitely do not have space for anything clunky! Its sleek, Scandinavian design blends seamlessly and its compact size made it a great option for us and for city living. 💫This chair is a comfortable and ergonomic solution that will help your child develop good posture and healthy eating habits. I also have to say, as a generally messy person, I have found this to be very easy to clean! Archie approved! 💙💙💙 #childfeeding #feedingbaby #babyessentials #babygear #highchair #stokkestepps #familymeals #parentingtips #babyfood #toddlerlife #momlife #babyproducts#parentinghacks #babyhealth #feedingtips #babydevelopment #babygrowth #solbemar
