There is not much cuter than a toddler with a pops

There is not much cuter than a toddler with a popsicle stained face! The weather in Mississippi has officially reached HOT and HUMID this past week, and popsicles are the perfect summer treat that we’ve been enjoying daily! We made our favorite heathy popsicles recipes last week to share on my YouTube channel! Linked in bio if you haven’t already seen it! What popsicle flavors are your favorites?

Our first family trip with two babies was a succes

Our first family trip with two babies was a success! Tiring for sure, but so many memories were made! I don’t usually share travel style vlogs but this was a fun change! My newest vlog “beach camping” style is now live on my YouTube channel!! Traveling is so fun, but there’s nothing like coming home and getting back into the daily routines! What are you experiences traveling and vacationing with babies?

Blueberries are by far our favorite summer fruit!

Blueberries are by far our favorite summer fruit! I love even more so that we can walk out our front door and pick at least a quart in the evening! Our homestead came with one amazingly established blueberry tree that produces the juiciest berries. Upon moving to this property, we planted 15 more bushes on what we will one day call “blueberry hill.” Our homestead has lots of work yet to come both inside and outside, but this blueberry tree that was left for us to enjoy its fruit and been one of the highlights of my summer! We pick as a family every night after dinner and it’s become such a fun tradition with our kids! What’s your favorite summer fruit?!

Our seedlings have sprouted and so has our baby gi

Our seedlings have sprouted and so has our baby girl! They are going into the ground today after being used a photo prop for two month photos for baby girl! This is our first year to grow seeds inside (well my wonderful husband did all of the work this year because well postpartum life) and we’ve decided we need a greenhouse! It’s going on our wish list for expanding the homestead in the future!!! 🌱 Husband has already planned out just the spot for it! Do you start your garden seeds indoors?

Our babies are the most amazing gifts aren’t the

Our babies are the most amazing gifts aren’t they?! They are gifted to us so perfect, innocent, and untouched of the dangers of this world. Let us always be their best advocate for their health and wellness. We should be using OUR voice and doing OUR research and not leaving it to the “experts” or someone we “think” has the best interest in mind of our children! We literally formed their organs in our bodies, we know them best and what’s best for them. Just a friendly little reminder to always trust your mama gut!
Oh and an excuse to post a pic of my little cuties, even with my littlest and her balding hairline!🤪

Spring has officially sprung here at our homestead

Spring has officially sprung here at our homestead and I’m here for it! These first-year tulips we planted last fall are in full bloom and the daffodils are not far behind! 🌷 I have been making the most beautiful vase bouquets to brighten our home! I just love how springtime fresh flowers have the ability to lift our moods! Are you feeling spring fever yet or do you already have signs of spring starting to pop up where you live? #harrishomestead

Phase 2: The True Beginning (Day 8-15) •𝕂𝕖𝕖𝕡𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕥𝕙𝕖 ℙ𝕠𝕤𝕥𝕡𝕒𝕣𝕥𝕦𝕞 𝕋𝕚𝕞𝕖 𝕊𝕒𝕔𝕣𝕖𝕕 • “The Gateway allows you forty days to find your footing and inch your way into this new chapter of life. It is a time and place apart from the outside world and life as you once knew it. It holds you as you recover from pregnancy and birth and as you begin to learn about your new baby. It is a cocoon in which to take pause before the long journey of parenting begins. It is the great inhale after the great exhale“ •The First Forty Days •
The Essential Art of Nourishing the New Mother “An immensely full heart” - is the best way I can describe these past two weeks loving on our new baby girl and becoming a family of four. The reality of raising two babies under two is starting to sink in. There are moments when my toddler is playing independently and I feel as though I’ve got this all under control. And then the moments hit when I’m feeding baby girl and my toddler is two rooms across the house plundering in a random drawer. — Any other mamas feel me? When those moments come I question how will I ever survive this alone! Both are acceptable and completely normal feelings for this new adjustment phase. However, I know I won’t be tackling this alone. As always, the Lord will be my helping hand through it all and will provide for me HIS strength daily to love and care for my two babies. My postpartum body is feeling stronger everyday which makes me want to do all the things. I have resumed many of my mom duties, but at a much slower pace. Our bodies will let us know when we are doing too much too soon. I am anxious to get back to so many things, but the 40 days postpartum should be cherished as our bodies and our new babies deserve this precious time. A healing body and baby cuddles are much more important than the three baskets of laundry to fold or the dishes in the sink. (Thankfully my amazing husband has taken over dish washing duties during this time, and for that I am so grateful) #keepingthepostpartumtimesacred
