Breastfeeding Basics

Daniel is a boob baby. In fact, he is exclusively breastfed. I didn’t think in a million years that this would be a thing that I not only do, but do well. It’s both a sacrifice and the ultimate gift. In the beginning, I set an expiration at 6 months but here we are at 7 months and the thought of him no longer needing me this way makes me want to cry. There have been quite a number of things that really helped with the success of our breastfeeding journey. Even with a baby who is exclusively breastfed there are some breastfeeding basics you don’t want to miss.

Diaper Bag Essentials & Organization

I have always had a thing for bags. It is my favorite kind of accessory. I’m not talking designer bags either. My favorite purse is from Target and I’ve been known to be quite fond of reusable bags too (I come from a long line of bag ladies). When I was pregnant I spent a great deal of time researching diaper bags because I wanted the perfect one. It had to be cute, durable, my style, and also dad-friendly. I ended up finding the perfect diaper bag and couldn’t wait to pack it full of diaper bag essentials.

Postpartum Essentials

On the unknown number of days quarantined you will find me cleaning out our bathroom.
