My name is Brooke,  I’m glad you’re here.

I’m a wife, mama, pediatric nurse, daughter, sister, and friend.

Homemaking is a joy, but it can also feel overwhelming—I get it. Before becoming a full time mama of two, I worked in the PICU at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. My nursing experience inspired me to create lists of must-have (and more importantly-must avoid) baby items. I also made a mental note of all the things I wish parents would have known before I had to meet them inpatient with their sick child.

From these two growing mental lists- Nest & Rest Mama was born.

I am more than honored to be able to offer Baby Prep Classes that equip parents with the knowledge I spent years preparing as an inpatient nurse. At the same time, I thoroughly enjoy ensuring you have the best& safest products for your baby as you prepare your home for baby’s arrival through Registry Consultation.

This is hard, holy work to prepare your home, heart and mind for baby. I’d love to walk alongside you as you step into motherhood. As a mom of two, pediatric nurse, hospital and home-birther, and lover of cozy playrooms and organized closets (even if mine aren’t always perfect), I’m here to help. Let my nurse brain, mama heart, baby gear know-how, and passion for home be your teammate at the start of this incredible journey.

You’ve got this & I’ve got you.

it all started with some laundry...

it all started with some laundry...

It all started with some laundry…not just any laundry—this was my first load of tiny baby clothes! As I folded them into the nursery drawers, I prayed, “Lord, I’ve prepared this room. Will You prepare my heart?”

In that moment, I was reminded of Jesus’ words: “My Father’s house has many rooms…I am going to prepare a place for you” (John 14:2). Sitting by the dresser, I realized my efforts to create a peaceful space for my baby reflect Jesus’ love and care for us as His children.

Isn’t it comforting to know you’ve been intentionally thought of?

As we prepare for our children, we catch a glimpse of the Savior’s intentionality and love for His. What a privilege to reflect that as we make homes for our families.

I’d love to walk with you on this journey and help create a calm, empowering environment for you to embrace your God-given role as a mother.

Let’s do this together mama…
