Anyone else suffer from horrible dental issues during pregnancy, and even postpartum? Taking the time to visit the dentist regularly should be a big part of our self-care routine, and I’m excited to get my oral health back to the way it used to be pre-baby.

We’re headed to Ottawa for a week! Excited for Zak to spend time with his other side of the fam, and for this mama to get a little break. 🤣 I’m nervous and excited about Zak and Frenzi (our 🐶) finally meeting for the first time. You guys are rockstars and sent AMAZING suggestions and I feel so much more calm now! Here are some common ones in case they may help you: • Get the dog acquainted with baby’s scent by giving him a blanket, burp cloth or clothes used in the hospital (SO glad we did this before Frenzi left) • Establish what is absolutely off-limits right away and keep reminding the dog so he understands — this could be anything in the nursery, toys, diapers, etc. • Before the introduction, take the dog for a super long walk and tire him out so he is calm when he meets the baby • Let the dog sniff the baby gently and not much else initially; they need to first know of each other’s existence • Make sure to give your dog (your first baby 😊) quality attention and 1-on-1 time Fingers crossed everything will go smoothly. I’m going to try to document it; stay tuned! 🤗❤️ 📷: @catherine_this_life

My favourite story ❤️👶🏻 baby boy’s birth! Full of surprises and one heck of a journey I’ll never forget. In case I do, I have @jamesrrubec to thank for vlogging it. Full video on my YouTube (link in bio)! ✨ #ZakNova #BabyRubec #TheRubecs

SURPRISE! We have a new home on the Internet. ✨ This has been a LONG time coming. I’ve been wanting to do a rebrand for a while - it started with my username handles, and now we’ve got a new website. I’m stoked! I’ve been working on this behind-the-scenes for the last couple of months, and while I still have a lot to tweak and content to move over/archive from my last blog, I figured it was finally time to go live (or else I would never have done it). Curious about the name change and why I decided to rebrand? That’s what we talk about in my first post. Check it out! ❤️ I’m so so so excited to be sharing new content with you that is truly authentically me and I have a feeling you’ll enjoy it. Here’s to Beauty & Everyday Mama Life WithAnum.com! ✨

I love this photo! ❤️ My baby is smiling at me and I’ve got my current favourite nude lippie on. While it’s not like this everyday, I try to sneak in some time during Zak’s naps to put some makeup on and get dressed. It helps me feel good and ready to tackle anything! #AnotherGreatWay to show love to myself is by visiting the dentist regularly. I had an awful time with bleeding gums during my pregnancy (and a bit postpartum); it made me SUPER conscious and I’m excited to get my oral health in good condition again. 😬 • April is Oral Health Month and you can find out more by visiting oda.ca/AnotherGreatWay *ad ••••• #postpartumbody #3monthspp #pregnancysymptoms #oralhealthawareness #oralhealthmonth #bloggerstyle #torontoblogger #livelovebeauty #motherhood #realmotherhood #postpartumhealth #lifestyleblogger #babyandmom #boymom #momlife #babyboy #babyfever

When I was pregnant, I was careful not to overdo it with maternity clothes. 🤰🏽I bought a few pieces, created a little capsule wardrobe and rotated between the items. Well, I’m #3monthspostpartum and my go-to outfits are STILL those items I bought! They’re comfortable, versatile, and work well with my changing body. I also feel less guilty about ruining them because, my friends, babies are MESSY! 🤣🤣🤣 ••••• #postpartumstyle #outfitideas #outfitinspiration #motherhoodunplugged #momlife #momlifebelike #babiesaremessy #babiesaremagic #3monthspp #ootdfashion #ootdideas #maternityfashion #maternitydress #thymematernity #louisvuitton #ootdguide #outfitlove #momoutfits #momstyle
