I got a really special message yesterday. It was a photo of a client out on a date with her husband with a little note about how breastfeeding didn’t work out for her in the end, due to severe pain from vasospasm, but the support she had for the 6 weeks she nursed changed everything….

Introducing Solid Food To Your Baby
I figured I should write about introducing solid food to your baby considering I just got done cleaning baby vomit off literally everything in my living room. EVERYTHING!!! I should have known to put the jar of spaghetti bolognese down after the first tummy ache, but noooo I had to try it again just to…
No More Baby Bottles
Feeding baby is such a fast moving transition from breast-feeding to bottle feeding to introduction of rice cereal, solid foods, and sippy cups. I now am able to prepare my son’s plate of food and relax while I watch him feed himself. All of this in just 18 short months. Throughout this amount of time,…
Help! My Kid Is A Biting Machine!!
First of all, judge NO ONE! I have seen kids bite their moms and thought, “OMG how are you allowing this?!” Today, I’m here to tell you…the struggle is real! Audrey is 10 months old and has 7 teeth. Those 7 teeth have taken chunks out of every piece of furniture in the house and…
3 Nursing Essentials For The Back-to-Work Mom
When I first became a mom, I had visions of being the motivated, organized, on-top-of-it-all I made baked goods for the whole office, dropped off the baby to daycare and was still the first one in the office mom. Excuse me while I take a moment to stop and laugh at myself. GOING BACK TO…
First Baby Sprinkle
You’re invited to a Baby Sprinkle! Say what?! I hadn’t heard of a Baby Sprinkle until this year. It’s definitely a newer trend that’s quickly gaining speed and I can see why. This past month I got to attend my first Baby Sprinkle event for Jessica. What’s a Sprinkle and how is it different from…
Stacie Plus One
I love when my girlfriends ask if I want to sneak away on a vacation or go out to some club and have a sleepover. NEWS FLASH…did you forget about that kid I carry everywhere with me? That’s right, I’m a mom, and a baby at a club is not hot. Sure, they make awesome…
Who’s this kid and what happened to my sweet little baby?
I guess I must have missed the chapters on how fast babies change! Everyone told me to soak in the newborn stage because once they are mobile, you’re in for it. My little Audrey went from a peaceful little blob to a maniac overnight! Who’s this kid and what happened to my sweet little baby?…
My Toddler Is Curious About Everything
After a recent day trip to Disneyland, I’ve realized how different my role as a mom has become. With a 16-month-old, gone are the days when he quietly lay in his bassinet, happy with whatever danced above him. It takes a lot more effort to occupy him now. With my husband home, it’s nice he…
Baby’s First Haircut
As a mother, I have moments when I second-guess my decisions regarding my son. It’s hard to make decisions like, when to stop breast-feeding, how long is long enough for tummy time, and when to start solid foods. The decision to cut my child’s hair was one I thought would come at a way later…
Can I Survive The Terrible Twos?
With all the excitement of my daughter, Sophie, turning 2, I can’t help but wonder about everyone telling me to be aware of the terrible twos! I mean, how bad can it be? I already see a sassy side to her and the word “no” being used a lot more. Is there anything to do…
It Was Time To Upgrade My Baby Monitor
It feels like yesterday that I was 25 weeks pregnant and walking into the baby store to register for my baby shower. One of the very first items on my list was a baby monitor. It seemed so simple while viewing them all on display. There were so many options, I quickly chose a middle…
