October is emotional wellness month, which prompted us to think, have we checked in on our own lately?  Ever growing to-do lists, the appointments, the schedules, the household, the work duties, the always multi-tasking momma, phew we get tired just thinking about it all!  How about you?  Are you a “list checker-offer” like we are?  In evaluating our emotional wellbeing, it also forced us to take a long hard look at how we define productivity.  The realization that emotional wellbeing was tightly knitted to our stress load, which go figure, is directly linked to our “to-do” list.   If we’re being...

Maybe it was just us, but when we were pregnant with our first babies, we assumed that breastfeeding would be the easy part.  Its natural, right? It should just happen on its own, right? Baby and mom will just know what to do, right?

Is it just us, or is the first question new moms get after a few weeks at home with their brand new baby, “How is he/she sleeping?”  It’s like this universally known thing one MUST ask a new momma.  Heck, even as mommas ourselves, we have asked this question to our own new momma friends!

“What if today, we were just grateful for everything?" -Charlie Brown And we are. Every day, we wake up and pinch ourselves that we are surrounded by the love, support & fun that YOU bring! YOU, our amazing, strong, beautiful group of mommas make MK&Co. what it is! As MK & Co. Organics rounds out its first year of life, we are taking time to really reflect on what a year it has been. We started this little company in the midst of a world pandemic, for one. All the crazy, hard, sad, frustrating, scary feelings that last year brought were...

Holy cow! So much has happened in this past year, it feels like we may have lived 40 years in the span of one! What a whirlwind, right? So many of us have had our worlds turned upside down.  So many of us have taken on new roles.  So many of us have said goodbye to ones we loved, welcomed new life in a very different way than we had ever envisioned, and just tried to keep our heads above water. But…do you know who has, hands down, stepped up in the BIGGEST way? You.  Yes, YOU. You, Momma.  You,...
