These stories give me hope, inspire me, give me permission to not sweat the small stuff, they make me laugh, they bring tears to my eyes and sometimes even make me sob, but most of all they help me feel like I'm not alone.

Each night when my daughter feeds, I check in with Coffee + Crumbs. Even if nothing new is posted, I read an old favorite. Everything seems like the author was talking directly to me.

It's been such a joy to come "home" to C+C to read of my compatriots and hear their stories come to life. This space has been a blessing to me, especially since I'm the first of my close friends to become pregnant.

Motherhood is messy but rewarding, and Coffee + Crumbs does such a lovely job of showing both sides.

Coffee + Crumbs has been the invisible village for me on more than one day as I walk through the wilderness of this thing called parenting. Thank you for building us all up.
