How Babywise & Beyond Began

It all started one day... I was flipping through Facebook & Instagram on my phone and saw several friends and acquaintances struggling with their first or second child and the chaotic life it can become. Here I was, all 3 kids (my twins- 15 months old & my newest sweet baby- 4 months old) all napping at the same time, as I was catching up on my shows and pinning a million pins on Pinterest. My immediate thought when seeing the comments and pictures about sleepless nights, days without showering, and life turned almost upside down, was "IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY!"

Not that I, by any means, have it all together. In fact, as I write this, Chatham is wearing her brothers t-shirt and rolling off her mat, I gave Hudson a popsicle stick to chew on while I finish this post, and Yardley? No idea where she is right now. (not to worry! we live in a small apartment with lots of baby gates!) But, THEY SLEEP! And it makes my life, my husband's life, and their lives SO. MUCH. EASIER.

So, with that in mind, I posted a picture on my Facebook wall of Chatham in her woombie and told my friends to contact me if they wanted advice on how to get their baby on a schedule. The responses blew me away! So many of them were either pregnant and terrified of the sleepless nights ahead or had an infant and had reached the end of their rope and just needed someone to talk to, but most were moms just looking for a place to bounce ideas off of- when should I take away the pacifier? What do I do with a baby who has slept through the night but now isn't? How do I take a shower longer then 3 minutes?

Follow along with me and my family as we encounter life with a baby (s) together!
