Tell us a little about yourself.
Hi! My name is Brooke Lawrence, I was born and raised in CA but recently moved to Franklin, TN! I had my first baby boy in January and quit my full time job so I could be a full time mama. Life has slowed down quite a bit this year but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
How did you get inspired for your nursery design?
I actually was super inspired by two pieces from the Artist, Kate Clausen (@clausen1983) and I pretty much designed his nursery around her art!
What postpartum products helped you to recover? (Teas, broths, bath products, books…)
- Frida Mom ice packs & witch hazel wipes
- Bodily sitting ring
- Bodily Restore Tumeric Tea
- Disposable underwear
Where do you shop for babes? (Skincare, healing, clothing, toys, food, vitamins…)
Roux is my all time favorite clothes for Vaun! For body wash, lotion and face balm, I love Earth Organics Skincare. As far as toys, Lovevery Toys have been so great for brain development in the early days!
What are trusty at-home activities for your babe?
Definitely his outdoor swing!
What is your favorite part of the day with your babe?
I look forward to morning time with Vaun everyday, I get to drink my coffee and sit with him while he plays – it’s such invaluable time!
What is a recent thing your babe did or said that made you laugh??
The other day Vaun pushed out a toot and he pushed so hard his binkie shot out of his mouth and we both laughed so hard together!
The usual questions about how to find work/parenting/life balance feel overwhelming. What are some small ways that you find balance?
Everyday my husband takes his lunch and watches Vaun so I can exercise / shower. From my experience post baby, if you don’t feel good about yourself it makes life feel more overwhelming – I find if I exercise and get ready for the day it makes me feel like I can conquer anything. All about those endorphins!
How do you unwind at the end of the day?
Honestly it’s hard for me to rest in our living room if it isn’t clean so after we put Vaun down I clean up all the baby garb, wipe down all the counters and then treat myself to a bowl of berries and honey + a face mask!
Your babe magically disappears for the day. Describe your ideal Me Time day.
Definitely going to get a Matcha and thrift or vintage shopping!
