Preventing the Leak 101
Leaking breastmilk is one of the more embarrassing nursing pitfalls. Some women leak milk their entire nursing journey and others leak only when their babes are newborns.

Read More5 Years
Just this past week my firstborn son turned 5. It still feels strange to type that out. If you are reading this post on the day it publishes you will probably be reading it while I am attending his preschool graduation. I didn’t even know that preschool graduation was a thing! The past year and…
Read MoreBaby’s First Birthday
Last Sunday my baby officially turned one year old. It’s been a difficult year on so many levels I’m not even sure where to start. I have so many feelings surrounding Matthew’s birthday and I’m guessing that there are other 2020 moms who feel similarly. Here is just a taste of some of the feelings…

When I was pregnant, I was fortunate that my aunt threw me a baby shower. It was a lot fun. One of the “games” that we played was “wishes for baby.” Basically, everyone was supposed to write well wishes for my son on a piece of paper and my aunt had plans to put them…

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…
