Cody and I are thrilled to share that a new addition will be joining our family! As we prepare to welcome our baby girl in late March, I want to ensure all my wonderful clients are informed about upcoming schedule changes and ways you can be part of this journey.

Ways to Support Our Growing Family

be a part of our Journey

Many of you have asked how you can help during this exciting transition - which seriously makes me want to cry! Here are three meaningful ways to show your support:

1. Donate Gently Used Baby Items
Have baby essentials you no longer need? We're gratefully accepting gently used items! Email kate@kateambershair.com to arrange donations
All items will be deeply appreciated!

2. Browse Our Baby Registry
We've created a registry of items needed for our little one. Both new and gently used items from the registry are welcome. We'll update the registry as donations are received!

3. Contribute to Our Maternity Leave Fund
As an independent contractor, this transition period comes without paid leave. Your support helps ensure a smooth transition. Every contribution makes a difference! Find our maternity fund on our registry page.

Important Dates to Remember:
