    Blink of an Eye

    On this episode, we talk about how the early years of caring for your baby go by all too quickly.

    Parenting Simplified — Trailer

    Let me tell you a secret. No parents really know what they’re doing. We’re all just trying to figure it out the best we can. I’m Rachelle Martin, and welcome to Parenting Simplified. After receiving my Master’s Degree in Special Education, I had my two children. Alex, our first, was such an easy baby. Our second child, Thea, was a little more complicated. Refusing to eat, she would have throat surgery at eight weeks old, then had a feeding tube and a stay-at-home nurse. Us parents practically lived at the children’s hospital for the next year. With these wildly different experiences building me into a better parent, I was inspired to provide others with needed support.  Alex & Thea, our baby product brand was established, and I have been working on my passions of parenting, business, and education ever since. On Parenting Simplified, I’ll share stories, I’ll invite friends and parenting experts onto the program, and you’ll get practical life solutions. Let’s transform YOU into the parents and person you’re meant to be. I want to personally thank you for taking this journey along with us.

    Deep into Parenthood!

    To all the most amazing people raising those beautiful children:  Thank you! Really. Give yourself a hug, let our a sigh, and know that we are so very thankful for all that you are and all that you do. Here on Parenting Simplified with Alex and Thea, we want to grow and support each other. We are all in all the things right now! Let it out. Find someone to lean on. Let us, all of us, be that supportive someone! We want to hug you and inspire you. Slide into our DM.  My name is Rachelle Martin! and I just started Alex & Thea, with my own two little bundles of joy running around me for the past year while trying to function in this crazy pandemic we have all lived in. I am an educator turned stay at home mom. I earned my bachelor’s degree to thrive in the fashion industry. My course changed when I moved back to my hometown and worked intensively as a special education teacher, after acquiring a Masters in Special Education.I worked in middle school and elementary school with children that had special needs for 7 years.  Later, my husband and I were more than thrilled to find out we were finally expecting our first child after 10 years of marriage. Life works in funny ways. Having kids turns your plans upside down!We wanted to do what felt right for our family at the time, and decided I would stay home with them for awhile.Two years later, we were a family with two under two! Our hearts were more full than ever and our heads spinning. Our life became chaotic and even more beautiful. We never had enough hands to do all that needed done. I found myself thinking that something had to be out there to give parents a break and even a connection or two! Parents deserved more! Alex & Thea is producing a multifunctional and innovative diaper bag with all the accessories. Parenting is hard and can be exhausting. At Alex & Thea, we share stories, experiences, and practical life solutions for families to live their best lives. We give families the ability to function practically and fashionably. We deliver time back to parents so they can stay focused on what really matters. At Alex & Thea, we are taking a little time to make a big difference. Like us, share us, and stay tuned in on us. We will be launching to support you and your family so very soon! VISIT US AT:  www.alexandthea.com
