Hey Mamas welcome back to So You Had a Baby! We could not be more excited to introduce today's guest! We are interviewing Jennifer Davidson, the Owner of Tumble NW!  Jennifer Davidson is a native Oregonian and local entrepreneur. She previously worked as a business consultant and has recently opened Tumble, a boutique gymnastics studio for kids in the Northwest area of Portland, OR. Gymnastics has been a lifelong passion of hers, and Portland has been a perfect place to raise her two daughters.  As a mama with two girls under the age of six, finding time to balance it all has been a lifelong journey in learning to accept the present moment for exactly what it is. Y’all, Jen is amazing! It was so nice speaking with her and hearing her postpartum story. She is such a real and honest person, who has a story that is so relatable and I’m sure many mamas can identify with. There were several moments where Krista and I gasped and laughed, we just really enjoyed speaking with her. We cannot wait for you to

Hey ladies, Happy Monday & Welcome back!  Today we are discussing a slightly loaded topic - breastfeeding! I say loaded because there is so much to cover and a lot of personal decision that go into it. So, Before we get into the topic of breastfeeding we want to acknowledge that this can be a very controversial topic and the decision to or not to breastfeed is a very personal decision for a woman and her partner to make. There is no right or wrong and we believe only you as the mother knows what is best for you and your baby. Whoever you are and wherever you are, please know that we fully support your decisions. Today, we are sharing our personal experiences around breastfeeding, and as always, we hope that our experiences help someone in their personal journey.   --- CONNECT WITH US!
