Like most moms of little ones, I drink coffee like it’s going out of style. It’s my life’s blood, the nectar of the gods. I love it almost as much as I love my kids, and some days, more. But my teeth don’t love it so much. The years of sleepless nights and coffee guzzling …

I’m a reader. Always have been. When I don’t know something or want to learn more about a certain topic I head to the library and stock up! Facebook has also been a great resource for adding books to my reading list. Whether it be a request for fiction or a parenting book, my friends …

Before I actually started breastfeeding I had a pretty limited knowledge of what all it would entail. I recalled my mom breastfeeding my two sisters and there was mention of it in my Bradley birth class. I really wanted to nurse my baby, and do it well, but the actual logistics of breastfeeding were a bit …

In honor of National Breastfeeding Awareness Month, I wanted to share a few breastfeeding accessories that I felt extremely helpful during my 13 month run breastfeeding my son.
