What to do when baby gets sick?

sick baby

My precious little girl was born just a short four weeks ago, and already has suffered her first cold. Luckily, it’s nothing more then congestion, but none the less it’s not only difficult for her to breath and nurse, but difficult on myself too. So the question is, at only a month old (or any [...]

Children and nightmares.

Children and Nightmares

I knew eventually we would have to deal with the girls having nightmares, but sadly that day has finally come. Last night, my girls spent the night at my mom’s house. Like they have done tons of times before. However, this morning my oldest daughter (she will be 5 in March) tells me that she [...]

Our First Music Together Class

Music Together - Bells Collage

I recently reviewed a few Music Together CD’s and really enjoyed them. Since then, we have also had the pleasure of starting a Music Together class, with Bells. I wasn’t sure what to expect. I’ve always known that music was an important part in any child’s life and I’ve always been interested in music classes [...]

Don’t we look nice?

Last weekend, we headed to JcPenney studios with my Groupon in hand. I am not a huge fan of studio photos, but $40 for a $200 photo package was such a great deal. The photographer did a really great job though, and I think the photos turned out really good.

Wouldn’t it be nice?

I love Valentine’s Day as much as the next romantic chick. Heck, it’s only January and I already have a Pinterest board going of gift ideas and crafts. But there is something that really bugs me each year. As much as I truly appreciate the kind gestures my husband makes every February. Why is it that men will make an effort, [...]

Baby girl is now three weeks old. Three. Weeks. Old. Oh my goodness. Can we say time goes by way too freaking fast? It does. Well, I just have to say, these three past weeks have been so much easier thanks to both my Moby & Britax baby carriers. I use my Moby Wrap every single morning I [...]

Dude, I totally have three kids now…

Thanks to this little one, I am now a mother of three. As crazy as that may be, I am loving it! Everyone told me that one to two kids was the hardest and two to three was no big deal. It really isn’t. In the past couple of weeks, not much has really changed. [...]

The Effects of Breast Implants on Milk Production

Breastfeeding with implants

Question: I am a woman who has been considering receiving breast implants surgery from a surgeon. Before I undertake this endeavor, however, I want to ensure that I will still be able to safely breastfeed if I decide to have children. What are the effects of breast augmentation on milk production and a mother’s overall [...]

Why I want a BIG family

baby

One thing that drives me absolutely crazy, especially since we got pregnant with Athena is hearing people say, “You know how that happens?” or “How many are you going to have? Twenty?” Seriously…what is with people thinking that you should only have one or two kids and any more then that is crazy. Why? For [...]

Are Cloth Diapers worth it?

Why-Cloth-Diaper1

When Kendall was about four months old, I made the choice to switch to cloth diapers. I even hosted a Cloth Diaper event on my blog and had the opportunity to try out some different diaper brands. Well earlier last year, she got sick and had horrible diarrhea so I used disposable diapers for the [...]
