The Real Sourdough Mom

You guys are AMAZING! 🥹 Brooks is currently FIRST in his group in the Baby of the Year contest! Votes are double today, and you can vote for free daily, so if you’d like to vote for our sweet boy, we would be so grateful! 🥰

One of the things I love most about this contest is that it also supports Baby2Baby, an incredible organization that provides diapers, formula, clothing and other basic necessities to babies and children in need. ❤️

We still have several rounds to go, so there’s a long way between here and the finish line 😂 but seeing you guys rally around Brooks has been the sweetest thing. If anyone could help this little guy make it all the way, I swear it’s this community. 🥹❤️

THANK YOU for loving on our boy! 🫶🏼

So many of you told me I needed to enter Brooks in the Baby of the Year contest and I was easily convinced because… LOOK AT THAT FACE 😭😂❤️

As most of you know, our sweet boy was born with a cleft lip and congenital heart defects, and this little journey has opened our eyes to a world we honestly knew very little about before him. There are so many babies and families walking through surgeries, hospital stays, feeding challenges, heart conditions, cleft care and so much more. ❤️

And while Brooks has had his share of hard things, we also know just how incredibly blessed and fortunate he is. He has a safe home, parents who can care for him, access to incredible doctors and everything he needs. So many babies do not.

Which is actually the part of this contest that means the MOST to me. The Baby of the Year competition benefits Baby2Baby, an organization that provides diapers, clothing, formula and other basic necessities to children living in poverty. THAT is a cause I can absolutely get behind. 🥹❤️

So yes, obviously I think this smile deserves Baby of the Year 😂 BUT more than anything, I love that we can have a little fun cheering for Brooks while helping support babies and families who truly need it.

If you want to vote for our little guy, you can vote once a day at the link below! 🥹❤️

Let’s see how far Team Brooks can take this thing 😂👏🏼

One baby will appear in a national ad campaign with The Honest Company, win $25,000, and be celebrated in Variety Magazine.
