THE UNEXPECTED MOMENTS THAT TAKE PLACE WHILE PREPARING FOR BABY TELL THE STORY OF A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY IN THE MAKING

After working with thousands of new families over the past few years… I’ve really come to value the unexpected, intimate moments that take place on baby’s birth day. 

The hug your mom gives you as hand her her grand baby to snuggle. The tear that falls down his cheek when he sees you feeding your baby for the first time. The way the two of you lean your heads together to gaze at your baby in the bassinet. 

This day is about more than your birth plan or the Lamaze class you took. It’s about celebrating the start of a new family. It’s an honor to play a part in such a significant time in your life and I hope you’ll choose us to be an even bigger part of yours!

the heart

BEHIND THE BLOG

It was late in the evenings following my first miscarriage, that I’d spend hours searching for encouragement on Pinterest of all things.  That is when I stumbled upon blogs from women around the world sharing their stories of loss and suddenly I didn’t feel as alone.  

I quickly fell in love with the world of blogging and thought if I can encourage just one woman during a difficult season of her life like these blogs did for me, then all the learning and coding and writing and designing would be worth it.  

And, when I get an email from someone who needs to just talk through their loss or share their story I’m quickly reminded of the foundation of LL&L and why I started this website.

has your journey looked like mine?
