Finding Balance
Being a mom is a full-time job — a 24 hours a day, 7 days a week position with zero pay and, sometimes, little to no appreciation. Most days I think to myself, “How did I get here and what did I do to deserve this?” Finding the balance between motherhood and making myself a…
Potty Training My Two Year Old
No one said it was going to be easy, but boy is this harder than I thought. Yep, I’m talking about potty training my two year old. Everyone has their own opinions on when and how they will eventually do it. My husband and I decided to wait until our son, Jake, was born, so…
Welcome Baby Odin!
He’s officially here! This is a little overdue, but as you can imagine, finding the time to do anything right after giving birth can be almost impossible! The delivery went smooth and Jordan and I couldn’t be happier or feel more fulfilled now that our little man is in our lives. Welcome, Odin Orian Hahn….
The Best Advice
“Having the knowledge I gained from the team at Providence Health & Services, California prior to going into labor was a lifesaver. I was able to discuss my questions and concerns from beginning to end, and everyone was so great. In a time where emotions are running high and there’s a lot going on, it…
Staying Best Friends

Dealing With Breast Milk Oversupply
As a lactation consultant I see three things every day: low supply, pain, and oversupply. Oversupply. What a good problem to have, right? Thats not even a problem? Wrong. Its as big a problem as any other breastfeeding challenge. It can lead to baby indigestion, bag latches, and mostly: pain. Oh the pain. Waking up…
Audrey’s Walking!
Today has literally been one of the coolest days of my life. Audrey started walking! I am certainly not one to be mushy about these things, but I am so excited, and let’s face it, a little proud. To start off, I am not a cookie cutter mom by any means. I was maybe the…
My Toddler Jumped Out Of His Crib
At 19 months old, my son jumped out of his crib. He was extremely scared and upset. I was told that because he had scared himself, I was not to worry, and he would more then likely not jump out again. Wrong! The very next day he managed to jump out again. Typically, most people…
Mom 2.0?
If you know anything about me, you know I don’t like asking for help. Like ever. Hiring a babysitter/nanny was probably one of the harder things I had to do as a mom, so far. As much as I love my baby, I just can’t bring her everywhere. I had the realization when she was…
