Happy Birthday to Shyla... and I enjoyed my labor!
This was me and newborn Shyla five years ago today....2 seconds after she arrived.  I share this knowing everyone has a different pregnancy and birthing journey- it’s truly unique to a mom and baby. This was mine.Â
Many people scared me about labor. “it’s long, it’s painful, etc.” But I am a high energy person and I didn’t want to channel all that stress. The day before I delivered (today 5 years ago)- Someone I barely knew told me to be positive and enjoy labor.Â

Founder of Travel Plus Them
As a mother of two toddler daughters, I want to teach and show them the beauty of the world and all its people. We frequently traveled around the US to visit our families. In my eyes, if I can easily manage a 3 hour plane journey, how hard is a 24 hour plane journey? Well, I learned that while there are differences, I can do it. As a family, we have now traveled to 30 countries across 6 continents (7th and last hopefully coming soon). The most important role I play is raising global citizens - supporting my children to be confident in who they are, excited to learn about others, and respect all the people around them.
