Baby Leona - Celebrating Motherhood- Day 1

There is deep truth to the emotional journey a woman experiences soon after she becomes a Mother. This looks different for all of us but one thing holds true. We have a deep down immediate desire to be a protector and to fulfill our child's needs for safety and security. This kind of love is hard to place into words, but our children have a unique way of showing their "thanks". It may be seen in the way they only look at us, or a happy gaze they place by the sound of mom's voice, or it could be even be by the way they follow us around all day long seeking closeness. Their need for connection is strong and very much seen in the first year of a child's life.

Beautycounter making safe products for families - Ottawa baby + family resource

Vanessa and her family are long time clients of mine! Her oldest Landon and I first met when he was just 4 months old and now sweet Layla has joined the fam jam! When Vanessa shared her knowledge a few months back on a company she's discovered, with a movement to removed the toxins in beauty products, I was curious and immediately began to research my options. With her help I changed my daily cleanser and moisturizer and began noticing amazing results. I am so glad I've found Beautycounter. As you can see below, I have a bunch of favourites I use daily!

I've asked the lovely Vanessa to share how she began using Beautycounter and share her knowledge and experience for others to discover!

The moment a child falls ill, a parent's heart shatters to a million pieces. You begin running the wheel of worry and feel anxiety build up. There is nothing glamorous about the hours or days to follow as you do everything in your power to make sure your little one feel better. Truth be know, every parent knows there is no rest until good health is restored.
