Pumping On The Go!

By Nikki | May 27, 2019 |

My fourth baby has come with a lot of challenges. In the blink of an eye I went from a 100% breastfeeding mama straight from the breast to a 100% exclusively pumping mama feeding through an NG tube. I had no idea how hard pumping was until I had to do it. This weekend we…

Children’s Music

By Lore Slaughter | May 17, 2019 |

My toddler son LOVES music. He wants to listen to it ALL the time and loves to have dance parties with me in our living room.  I love this about him but as much as he loves jamming to the radio with me, he also loves “kids” music.  Plus… we have reached the age where…

National Photography Month

By Lore Slaughter | May 10, 2019 |

Did you know that May is national photography month?  It seems fitting because May is also the month that we celebrate Mother’s day.  Photographs help me to remember some of my most favorite moments with my own mother as well as reminding me how far I have come in my own motherhood journey.

Breastfeeding. After 3 kiddos it should be easy right? Come naturally? You should know what to do and definitely not need any help, right? What happens when this baby is different? A medical need.

When It Doesn’t Go As Planned

By Nikki | April 26, 2019 |

I had my fourth baby 8 weeks ago. She came into the world pretty easily, which is exactly what my body and soul needed after three difficult births. She was tiny, beautiful, and seemingly perfect in every way. She completes our family in the way that I had hoped. Immediately at her birth we noticed…

By Lore Slaughter | April 12, 2019 |

I know there’s a lot of controversy out there about how much screen time your child should or shouldn’t watch but if you have a toddler like mine… sometimes screen time can be the difference between surviving a day and losing my mind.  My son has an incredible amount of energy and he refuses to…

Product Review: The Essential Tank

By Nikki | March 31, 2019 |

Product Review: The Essential Tank I recently had my fourth baby. After nursing all of my other kids I thought I had it all figured out but each kid is definitely different and she is no exception. Add the extra element of 3 other kids under the age of 6 and I look for anything…

Toddler Parenting Struggles

By Lore Slaughter | March 15, 2019 |

People who aren’t close friends often ask me how I have so much great advice and tell me how I seem to really have it together.  Well, prepare to have you mind blown, I really don’t!  The truth is that I am a total hot mess 99% of the time.  I struggle with self-doubt, I’m…

Toddler Crafts

By Lore Slaughter | March 8, 2019 |

Happy March!  It’s national craft month! Keeping a toddler entertained inside on a chilly or messy day is not for the faint of heart.  It’s not quite spring here yet and I hate the cold so to be honest… I have no interest in venturing out to the park just yet.  What does that mean?…
