Recently I was chatting with friends about our birth experiences. Some of us gave birth in a hospital, some at home, some induced, some c-section, some with an epidural, some without. We all have different experiences. The interesting thing I learned is how many of us felt uninformed or unsure about things during our first…
My son has officially been weaned for about a month and half. He just turned twenty-two months old at the beginning of April. When the topic of weaning is brought up in my mommy groups I get asked two questions all of the time: 1) Am I OK with my son weaning and 2) How…
Before my son was born, I was an English teacher by trade. I have a deep seated love for books and reading. I am the crazy lady who loves the smell of books and old libraries. My family thinks I am nuts. Anyone else love books as much as I do? Each night before bed,…
If you have a toddler like mine, mealtime – and in particular dinnertime, can be a harrowing experience. I dread mealtime because I know what’s coming: thrown food, spilled milk, stained clothing, screaming, complaining, and frustration on all sides.

I am the mother of two daughters and one son. Three small children who follow me around all day long, tug at my legs, and won’t even let me pee in peace. They are always around; always listening. This has never been more apparent until recently. One morning I was standing in my bathroom doing…
If you are anything like me, there’s a good chance that at some point you have found yourself wondering if you really NEED a hands free pumping bra. When my husband and I were preparing for the arrival of our son, there were so many things on the list (given to us by our registry…
If you read my last blog post (which you can find here) you might remember that I said that all breast pump flanges are not created equal and unfortunately, the same is true for the actual pumps themselves. Picking out and buying a breast pump (or requesting one through insurance) is one of the most…
I have large breasts. I mean really large. The kind that you have to go to a special store to buy a bra for. The kind where a bra costs almost the same as a shopping trip to Whole Pay…I mean foods. I have always been pretty well endowed. My mother was larger with a…
