I have a confession. I don’t like pumping. In fact, I might hate it. I can’t quite decide if it’s the act itself or the reason I have to do it. Probably both. Whatever the reason, I despise it. 6-8 times a day I hook myself up to my good old friend the breast pump…

Father’s Day is this weekend. You have probably heard the saying that “anyone can be a Father but not everyone can be a dad” and I can’t agree with this more. I have been blessed with a wonderful father (and dad) and have a husband who is a wonderful dad but I know that not…

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.

Read MoreWhen It Doesn’t Go As Planned
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…
