For two days in a row I’ve felt like I wasn’t making enough milk through the late night – early morning. The night before I had been up chain nursing Jaxon until my boobs were dry and he.kept.demanding.MORE.

Hectic Weeknight Dinner
At two weeks postpartum, I am JUST gaining the strength back in my lower back. That means I haven’t spent as much time in the kitchen as I would have liked to. Cooking can be such a chore and I don’t like to do it every day. I usually cook in bulk to make sure… Continue Reading

This year, I wanted to rev up our giving. I had heard about Operation Christmas Child, but I wasn’t sure exactly how… Continue Reading
Mess Without Stress: Painting In The Tub
Part of fostering a great childhood is allowing messes. Some my life’s most memorable moments involved getting messy whether allowed or mischievously behind my mother’s back, haha. One way we allow mess without stress is by letting Jayden paint in the tub. It’s so much fun for him and the cleanup is a breeze. I… Continue Reading
