It’s true! We sold Stella! 😭 As difficult as this was, we felt it was time to let her go and give her to another couple who will be able to experience her in all of her glory. 🚐 Ever since having a baby, we noticed Stella parked in the driveway most of the time, since our current van layout didn’t accommodate for a car seat and our growing family. We had to decide to either rework our current layout or sell her as is. We went back-and-forth for months and even went rig shopping to see what could replace her. Ultimately we decided that it wasn’t the right time for us to invest in a new rig just yet. Instead, we decided to use the money from our sale to invest in a new business we’re starting, and will be sharing with all of you soon! 💗 The experiences we gained from our time living van life has truly changed our lives and outlook on how we want to raise our growing family. Living on the road with our kids is a dream we aspire to and know will be part of our lives again one day. Stay tuned for more updates as we launch our new business & figure out what’s next for our growing family - what content do you want to see more of from us as we navigate this next chapter? 👇🏽 #vanlife #wesoldourvan #vanlifetohouselife #houselife #whywesoldourvan #quitvanlife #newbeginnings #newchapter #vanlifefamily #family #travel #fyp #vanliediaries #lifeupdate #sunnylunaliving

BIRTH STORY: I was 42.5 weeks along and dealing with internal anxiety of having to be induced soon. I really wanted to go into labor spontaneously so I decided to get acupuncture done hoping it would move things along. Lo and behold, that evening at 6:45pm my water broke. Sunny and I were thrilled but remained calm and mentally prepared for a long night ahead of us. I didn’t have contractions right away. Then they hit me like a ton of bricks and by 8:30pm I was having 2 minute contractions 1 minute apart. Sunny was tracking my contractions on an app but we both didn’t realize how fast things were moving. It wasn’t until Sunny asked Chat GPT to analyze our results that told us we would be heading into ‘transition’ shortly. 😅 Sunny called our midwife team who arrived in the nick of time. I was already involuntarily pushing by the time they showed up. My team helped me get into the birth pool as the baby was crowing. I was so relieved once the head was out. After that, his body came next in one push and I lifted our son up, out of the water and onto my chest. My birth team arrived just 18 minutes before the baby was born! Sunny and I nearly birthed this baby all by ourselves. 🙃 The time from the start of contractions to birth was only 3.5 hours long. It was fast and intense and we laugh looking back at how we didn’t realize to call our team sooner. What can I say, you live and learn! Overall, we loved every minute of our first homebirth. It was easy, calm, exciting and peaceful. A wave of hormones flooded my system as soon as the baby was born and I felt on top of the world. Our team cleaned up and tucked us 3 into bed. We couldn’t have dreamt of a more peaceful transition for our son into this realm.

If you’re pregnant and feeling overwhelmed by all the decisions—let me share five things I planned ahead of time that I do not regret one bit! 1. Deciding what to do with my placenta – Whether it’s encapsulation, a tincture, or something else, having a plan gave me the opportunity to reuse my placenta instead of being discarded. 2. Harvesting colostrum – I felt so empowered knowing baby had that liquid gold ready if we needed it. 3. Meal prepping – Truly the unsung hero of postpartum. Nourishing meals ready to go = more time to rest and bond. 4. Taking a Hypnobabies course – This changed how I approached labor. I felt calm, in control, and prepared mentally and emotionally. 5. Hiring a birth photographer – Best decision. These once-in-a-lifetime moments are now beautifully documented forever. What’s something you planned before birth that you’re so glad you did? 👇 #holisticpregnancy #naturalbirth #birthwithoutfear #homebirthjourney #empoweredbirth #pregnancywellness #naturalpregnancy

The female body is unreal—It stretches, grows, creates life—then somehow finds its way back. Maybe not to the exact same as it was before, but to something just as beautiful. This transformation is amazing to witness and I’m working on embracing this phase of healing. 🤍 #HealingAfterBirth #PostpartumJourney #HealingAfterBirth #MomLife #FourthTrimester #Postpartum

That’s 11 people plus I forgot to include my dog who was under the bed 💗👶🏻🐶 It was just Sunny & I for 95% of the lead up to the birth because everyone else arrived about 20 minutes before the baby was born which was not what we planned for but all worked out in the end. Choosing your birth team is so important because it can make or break your entire existence. If you opt for outside care at your birth be sure to hire people who align with your values and will respect your boundaries and wishes. #HomebirthJourney #NaturalBirth #HomebirthBaby #BirthingAtHome #HomebirthMama #WaterBirth
