⋒ NEW BLOG POST ⋒ link in bio! The first time I heard the saying “hindsight is 20/20” was when I met my husband, Mark. Those words have stuck and remain true for many situations. Looking back, there are so many lessons my pregnancies (including the first one I lost) have taught me. However, they weren’t very clear until recently. Today on the blog I am sharing those lessons with you. These life lessons can go for anyone at any stage in life, but if are expecting a little one I highly recommend you give this post a read. MAMAS- what is one piece of advice you have that your pregnancy taught you?! I’d love to hear! #DevonJade #DJ

Y’all know I use oils on myself and around my house but I also use them on Jasper! When I got pregnant I was so excited to support my future babe with all the plant goodness and have a little oily babe! My family decides not to use over the counter meds but we love using oils to support our systems! I can’t say enough about what essential oils have done for me and my lil fam 👪❤️ This is what WE choose, always do your research first! Below are the oils I use on J! Thieves 🌱 immune support Lavender + Sleepyize 🌱 sleep support Tummyize 🌱 gas + upset belly Owie 🌱 bumps + bruises Snifflease 🌱 respiratory support Gentle Baby 🌱 emotional support Juvaflex 🌱 liver + lymphatic system support Copaiba 🌱 used to relieve pain from teething Of course I don’t use all of these oils on him everyday (about 3-4 of them) but they are all what I grab for when he needs extra support in one of those areas. Would y’all be curious to see his own oily routine? #JasperThomas #JT #BabyDevine #DevonJade #DJ

FOUR years ago this photo was taken (on my iPhone self timer propped up on the car nonetheless 🤣🤣). We were dating for only about a month and road tripped to Delaware because Mark wanted to take me to Apple Scrapple. Fast forward to today (swipe!) we are now living in Delaware and went back to Apple Scrapple as husband and wife + with our sweet little boy 👪 (which we don’t have a photo of bc it was 80°, J was screaming, and there were grasshoppers everywhere lol) Oh my heart ❤️ I love you, @devine_muscles_.

This week I didn’t make a to-do list. Instead the only productive thing I did was keep this cutie happy and well, which is more productive than anything else I could ever do 💛 Cheers to the weekend! Also, Jasper has a crazy amount of hair it’s insane. #JasperThomas #JT #BabyDevine #DevonJade #DJ

My bff is getting married! 👰🏼✨ Celebrated this cutie bride-to-be with a FRIENDS themed shower that was perfect! Love ya @jhamps_! Next up NOLA + then the big day! ❤️ Can’t wait! #DevonJade #DJ

Anyone else come back from being out of town and the week following looks + feels something like 🙃🤪😬 Yeah, that was me this week. It was productive but chaotic nonetheless. I also had every intention on sharing something today that’s been highly requested, but it’ll have to wait. Happy weekend, friends! #JasperThomas #JT #BabyDevine #DevonJade #DJ

⋒ NEW BLOG POST ⋒ link in bio! This little man is almost on the MOVE ⚡️ and before we know it he’s going to have my stomach in my throat with how daring he is! Eight months is the best age yet + I have a feeling it’s going to keep getting better ❤️ On the blog I’m talking all about what this last month has brought us, what Jasper’s achieving, and some thoughts on motherhood. Give the link in my bio a click and tell me what ya think! #JasperThomas #JT #BabyDevine #DevonJade #DJ

When dealing with anxiety I notice how much tension + stress I hold in my body. In my jaw. Neck. Shoulders. My breath. I’m sure some of you do too. Pause for ONE minute and notice where you are holding tension. And then do this 👇🏼 exercise. BREATH WORK FOR ANXIETY + STRESS Sit in a comfortable seated position ✨ Relax your body- arms, neck, shoulder, jaw ✨ Find your natural rhythm of breathing ✨ After you have sat with your breath, inhale for 4 counts, exhale for 4 counts ✨ Keeping your inhales at a count of 4, slowly increase your exhales to 6 or even 8 counts ✨ Repeat for five minutes ✨ *advanced practice: increase your exhale to TWICE as long as your inhale. When you feel anything, you breathe a particular way. Think of the flight or fight response. When you inhale (excitation response) your heart rate speeds up, and when you exhale (relaxation response) your heart rate slows down. Every breath we take mirrors a process going on in our nervous systems. The breath can be controlled consciously or automatically. Mediation is consciously controlling our breath to stimulate an experience. If you tried the above meditation, tell me what you think! #DevonJade #DJ

HAPPY ✨ OCTOBER! 🎃👻 Anyone else love this month? It’s probably my favorite and for many reasons. This year it’s also our busiest month yet! We are going to be out of town or doing something every weekend. Including me leaving Jasper TWICE and for the first time ever 😭 cue all the tears. October is also #PregnancyandInfantLossAwarenessMonth. Something I honestly never batted an eye at because I had no idea just how important it is to honor this. Pregnancy or infant loss (or loss in general) is something you don’t understand until you go through it. I used to think my story didn’t matter because it wasn’t as traumatic as others I know. But that’s not true. Everyone faces different battles, big or small, THEY MATTER. It’s amazing to see what has happened in over a year. I’m watching everything come full circle right now. This may sound sooo cliché but, without the loss and heartache I wouldn’t be standing where I am today. Holding my little *big* eight month old rainbow babe. If you are going through a difficult time similar to this, know that healing takes time 💫 You are not alone in this. #JasperThomas #JT #BabyDevine #DevonJade #DJ
