Read More6 Easy Ways to Set Boundaries With Kids
Discipline is a subject that most moms talk about in hushed tones..but why? Growing up, it was not uncommon for my parents to discipline me in public with a swat on the booty, or even to drag me out of the toy aisle kicking and screaming (yeah…I wasn’t the picture-perfect child. Which is why it’s…
Read MoreWhy I hate the Fed Ex man & Doorbells
THAT, dear blog readers, is my doorbell. Please, please, please explain to me what is confusing about a BRIGHT RED sign that reads: ‘Baby Sleeping, Please Knock‘. I used to have a bright yellow post-it…but it wasn’t cute. So I made a change…which apparently caused the Fed Ex man to forget how to read. Maybe I’m…

Read MoreMommy’s Little Foodie: Week 13, He’s Constipated, So It’s Back On The Boob
Well…it’s back on the boob…at least until we get Smalls pooping again. Poor little man is just miserable, and I can’t stand to see him hurt. Since the ‘p’ foods didn’t get things moving, we’re officially kicking solids until he (pardon the pun) makes some solids. Now, I realize that pooping every 4-5 days is considered…

I can’t believe that it’s been 12 whole weeks! I know I probably say that more than I should because it’s only natural that Smalls will keep getting older…but WOW. Little man is moving toward wanting to feed himself, too. He’s getting REALLY good at trying to eat the remote. Doesn’t that sound absolutely…

First of all, I want to say THANK YOU to all of my followers, wherever you are. I really, truly appreciate all of your support. And now…back to Smalls’ food adventures.

Caution: I’m going to get on my soapbox for a minute, K? While I’m sure that I’m not the first to ask this (nor will I be the last)…why are working boobs so scary for everyone except breastfeeding moms? When I say working boobs, I mean boobs like mine: lactating, nursing, breastfeeding…whatever you want…
Read MoreMy 9 Essential Mommy Must-Haves
I am constantly amazed at people who act like some of my ‘necessities’ are completely foreign to them. I’ll admit that I do my research, spend an inordinate amount of time stalking other mom blogs, and am very forward when speaking to those more experienced to me. For example, I cloth diaper, and I love…
Read MoreBreastfeeding Hurts
When I found out I was pregnant with Smalls, the first thing I wanted to do was to provide the best possible start for him. That includes breastfeeding. Not supplementation, not infant formula.
