​Beauden's Birth Story


Labor is something that you anticipate the entire nine months of pregnancy. As the day gets closer, the anticipation rises. This time, my labor started exactly how I had always imagined. I was 39 weeks, family had arrived in town and I started labor and contractions on my own. However, the turn of events that followed wasn't exactly ideal. Read more about my labor story and why I believe advocating for yourself and your baby in the delivery room is important.

​Pregnancy Update: 32 Weeks


Went to the doctor today for my 32 week doctor's appointment. I must say, my doctor's visits during this third pregnancy are very uneventful. I feel like I walk into the room and the doctor and I sort of stare at each other, mulling over what to talk about without having much to say.

General stats: my blood pressure was...

Jen Bunney's Birth Story

In celebration of The Hills: New Beginnings returning to MTV, I wanted to share a special story from one of my longest and dearest friends, Dr. Jennifer Dunphy.

Not only has she successfully completed her PhD making her a doctor, but even bigger, she recently became a mother. But the road to having and recovering from childbirth wasn't easy. In fact, Jen would agree that her work as a doctor and as an executive at a major healthcare firm seemed like a walk in the park compared to her initial introduction to motherhood...

25 Days of Christmas: Q+A
Featuring 25 of the
Southern·ish Mama's Christmas Favorites


Hey ladies!
Whoa, it feels like forever and a day since I sat down and blogged. With the holidays coming up and now that we are settled into our Dallas home, I figured now would be the perfect time to start back up. I wanted to start a little something called the 25 Days of Christmas this year, which will include an Instagram post on each day leading up until the 25 days of Christmas featuring these questions and topics. Basically, this is a quick Q+A with 25 questions about my family and all things Christmas! Here we go...

The 25 Days of Christmas
1. What Christmas means to you? Christmas means family to me... that, and thinking of others rather than self. I know. Some people will be mad at my response because Christmas represents the birth of Jesus. It does. And I think that is very important because it is a good reminder to be Christ-like by thinking of others. But if I am being honest, in present times for me and my family Christmas represents family and celebration!
