As moms, we have a tendency to want time to stand still. We want to hang on to those sweet moments at every stage of life for our littles. Everyone tells you time will fly by and it totally does!
Some weeks I go so hard & accomplish so much, I end the week feeling like [amazon_textlink asin=’B072J84141′ text=’Wonder Woman‘ template=’ProductLink’ store=’poms2moms-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’8d63b6a2-d75e-11e8-83bb-c7ac6489462c’]. And then there are times, when the next week rolls around, I become overwhelmed from the mental to do list – rotating like a credit reel. That’s when the panic sets in and I have the tendency to hide from my tasks & people. Rather than ending that week like Diana Prince I feel more like Ursula.
Hellooooo Sweater Weather! Hands down… fall is my favorite time of year – ALL the feels! Fall in the Carolinas means cool mornings on the deck with a cup of coffee, football games, tailgates, sweaters with boots and fun family activities. Not to mention it’s also snuggle season and cuddling is my love language.

I love planting, pulling [amazon_textlink asin=’B01JIRN6JW’ text=’weeds‘ template=’ProductLink’ store=’poms2moms-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’835c6251-5332-11e8-84c5-41b76da96b6f’], and finding worms to put in my compost bin.
Here’s how it all went down. Risden was 11 months old. At this time I was still breastfeeding; however, my milk supply was sinking faster than my bank account after a trip to Target. I tried all of the tricks to increase your milk supply like guzzling tons of water, pumping more frequently, and taking Fenugreek.
