How to balance motherhood - [& work, marriage and everything else.]
An encouraging perspective on balance & my experience as a wife & working mama of 2.
**For 9 free meals - that is $90 off your first month of HelloFresh, including shipping go to https://bit.ly/32zShx7 and enter promo code jhover9
Balancing the demands of our home life and work life has always been challenging but adding a new baby or 2 to the mix can make balance seem impossible. In this video I share my experience but more than that I will explain why balance does not really exist. Nobody is doing great at everything all at once! Rather than trying to do it all, we can instead focus our energies on a few specific things and receive as much help as possible along the way. I hope this video encourages you in your motherhood journey & helps you to make peace with your life right now. You are doing so good. I really believe in you.
Thank you for watching! See you on Instagram! @jess_hover

What to wear while nursing - [Easy & Cute Nursing Outfits!]
I forgot how hard it is to dress for nursing a baby! As if breastfeeding doesn't come with enough things to think about, how about the fact that it can be sooo tricky figuring out cute things to wear that provide easy access to our milk makers? This video is my simple take on picking outfits that will hopefully help you make use of the clothes you already have in your closet! Thank you for watching and congratulations on your baby!!
PS. My daughter is not Eva :) Her name is Eloise but lately that has been her go-to pretend name. (It used to be "Flowery Sparkles" so clearly she is growing up. **tears)

I get my favorite nursing bras from here: https://www.mayanageneviere.com/
Target also has good nursing bras and nursing tank tops.
I bought a couple nursing bras from Amazon and they have been nice because they are cheap and easy but I mostly just wear them to chill at home and be comfy. This is the link to those:

Self-care with a new baby
Life with a new baby has been compared to recovering from a car accident and running in a marathon. Motherhood is both exciting and exhausting, flipping life upside and demanding more of us than we knew we were capable of. Not only does it feel like a challenge to keep our babes alive, it can also feel hard to regain a sense of self after having a kid. Our lives are consumed with tiny baby things and after a few days .. and weeks .. and months .. of interrupted sleep, it is common to feel like we don't know who we are. The truth is the better we take care of ourselves the better equipped we will be to care for our families, so then the question is, how do we take care of ourselves? This video shares my personal experience as a mom of two young children and shares some tips for taking care of yourself now that your baby is here.
Thank you for watching!
See you on instagram!

How to get your body back after having a baby
A funny video showing how much moms ALREADY do to workout 😂
Have you had a baby or 5 and are feeling pressure to "get your body back"? This video is for you. It's a cheerful funny reminder of all the things we are already doing to get exercise, and an encouragement to take care of yourself. Your body was never gone, it's been here all along doing the miraculous work of growing & caring for babies. Take care of yourself & do whatever you can to make this exhausting stage of motherhood fun.. if that means getting in a postpartum workout then do it! But if that means reading a good book and enjoying some ice cream then go ahead and do that. Trust John Mayer on this one, "Your body is a wonderland."
See you on instagram! @jess_hover
Don't forget to like the video & share it with mama friends who need to smile today. :)

Postpartum Body Image -- my experience 8 weeks postpartum
Some of you have written asking about my feelings towards my body since having my baby 8 weeks ago so here is a video sharing my experience and some encouragement for any of you who are feeling some anxiety about your post-baby body.
Here is something beautiful I read recently that gave me some fresh perspective towards my own postpartum body.
"No, no you have it all wrong, I will not be working to get my body back.
She was never lost.
She was here, giving every moment and detail to this sweet baby.
She was pushed and exhausted, stretched and stripped to make space for new life.
Please stand back and aside.
For her sacrifice she will not be scrutinized.
She will be loved, and thanked, and bowed down to.
She will be allowed her time to heal and be settled into.
This body's work will not forgotten, hidden or erased.
And if you feel it should, you understand nothing about the gift she has given.
No, no Body don't listen. Because I see you. I thank you deeply.
You did so good."

Natural (Unmedicated) Labor & Delivery Vlog Part 2
Hi!! Our baby boy arrived June 27th, 2019 at 11:28am after 10 days of contractions! This was my second unmedicated labor & delivery. My first baby, Eloise, was delivered without an epidural 4 years ago. You can find the vlogs from her birth on my channel as well as my video with tips for having an unmedicated child birth. I've never taken a birthing class and I don't know a whole lot about labor other than what I have experienced or learned from friends. I'm sure plenty of moms on the internet have a whole lot more insight than me on having a baby without meds but I'm happy to share my experiences with you and I hope you find them helpful and encouraging.
If I can have a baby without meds anyone can do it! :) I am not all that tough so just be encouraged if you want to try a natural birth I totally believe in you. Also though if you want an epidural for your delivery do it! Just have your baby in the best way you can and do your best to soak up the process. It's such a gift. If you need a C-section then have one shamelessly and I hope you have a quick recovery. You are amazing. Having a baby is a HUGE deal no matter how you do it and all deliveries are worthy of respect & celebration.
For more of the story see my Instagram highlight called "Wilson.

Natural (Unmedicated) Labor & Delivery Vlog - Part 1
Hi!! Our baby boy arrived June 27th, 2019 at 11:28am after 10 days of contractions! This was my second unmedicated labor & delivery. My first baby, Eloise, was delivered without an epidural 4 years ago. You can find the vlogs from her birth on my channel as well as my video with tips for having an unmedicated child birth. I've never taken a birthing class and I don't know a whole lot about labor other than what I have experienced or learned from friends. I'm sure plenty of moms on the internet have a whole lot more insight than me on having a baby without meds but I'm happy to share my experiences with you and I hope you find them helpful and encouraging.
If I can have a baby without meds anyone can do it! :) I am not all that tough so just be encouraged if you want to try a natural birth I totally believe in you. Also though if you want an epidural for your delivery do it! Just have your baby in the best way you can and do your best to soak up the process. It's such a gift. If you need a C-section then have one shamelessly and I hope you have a quick recovery. You are amazing. Having a baby is a HUGE deal no matter how you do it and all deliveries are worthy of respect & celebration.
Here is part one of our labor & delivery story! Part 2 will be posted soon so stay tuned!!!
For more of the story see my Instagram highlight called "Wilson.

First Week with a Newborn Baby -- Tips & Things I Wish I Knew.
Our baby is 1 week old and this time around things have been wayyyy easier than they were with Eloise. Here are some of the tips I have for caring for a newborn baby. These are the things I wish I knew when I had my first baby. I hope they are helpful for you!
I have added links to products on Amazon that may make your first week as a new mom a little easier to manage! I'm not partial to any of these brands but I'm putting things I like so even if you end up with a similar product but different brand I feel like it would still help :)

Spend the Day with Me & Eloise - vlog
Come hang out with Eloise and I! Shaun was traveling on this particular Monday and our nanny was out of town too so it was a "Mama Day" as we call it. We went to a special facial appointment, did some preschool activities at a coffee shop, went to the gym, a playground, and a taco fiesta. You can also see a bit of our morning and evening routines. Thank you for watching our family! If you have videos you want to see then leave your ideas in the comments section!

Think Pretty - How to improve our relationships.
Beautiful relationships make for a beautiful life. How do we do it? Here are three pieces of advice for having better friendships, dating relationships and marriages.
A tutorial series about the thoughts & emotions that makeup a beautiful person. In this fun tutorial series about the inner workings of beauty I'll be going more deeply into the way we think, feel & see the world to help us all become more beautiful & loving versions of ourselves.
Each video starts with a clip from our girl Violet and ends with a sweet Eloise moment to hopefully keep things light and fun in the midst of talking about deep things. :)
Though I am not the most qualified when it comes to talking about skincare, makeup, fashion or how to do our hair, I am always excited to talk about the inner workings of our lives like our thoughts, emotions, and spiritual well-beings. In this series I'll start us off with a funny beauty tutorial of some kind and then spend the rest of our time together talking through as aspect of beauty related to our hearts. In the previous videos I touch on things like shame and overcoming pain from the past as I communicate my point that - We alone are responsible for our inner lives. Our second and third videos are about having and recovering from discouragement and personal failure. Today's video asks the questions: What do you have? How can you serve? Everyone has a calling, everyone has purpose, and everyone has something we can do right now to make this world better for both ourselves and those around us.
Thank you so much for watching! I hope this Think Pretty series helps you to see yourself and your life in a more beautiful way, and that it empowers you to take whatever steps are necessary to feel like you have more control over your life.
