I can’t help but tear up as I write this, because to me, there is no greater role than the one I have as being a mother. It’s without a doubt, the ultimate badge of pride and the highest-ranked position I can ever assume. That’s why it may not be “so” surprising that one of my biggest ambitions is to be a cheerleader for my daughter.
Ahh… ´tis the season of boots, cute sweaters, chilly weather… and family photos! If youŕe like me, you have had complete total epic meltdowns over the outfits you, your children, and your husband are going to wear for these photos that will be plastered all over your wall and mailed out to basically everyone you know on your Christmas cards. Oh, and if they didn´t make the Christmas card list, best believe your mom is walking around with it in her purse waiting for someone to ask how youŕe doing. So here we have it, a Momś Guide to outfitting your entire family… made EASY!
As I write this, I’m now more than a year removed from breastfeeding, and I am 100% glad for it. With no more baby brewing in my future, it truly is a welcomed feeling having my body back as “my own.” I have fond memories of that time though; the quiet mornings nursing, the pride in literally giving life to your child. But also, there resides a perhaps, not so expected and cherished memory that I want to share today. That is my experience with breastmilk donation.
Just imagine you are telling someone about a *HUGE* new life decision. Excitement radiates from your face, you deliver the news full of joy, and then you wait for the obvious encouraging response. But instead of excitement, something else happens. You notice your audience slightly cringe, become wide-eyed and then… realize their error before quickly trying to cover it up. This is what it’s like telling “most” people, you are deciding to homeschool.
I’m back at it again with another post regarding one of my favorite topics… FOOD. A huge part of my daily joy comes from what I eat. (Yes, I’m the woman who dreams about dinner right after I eat lunch.) I love food and aim to eat GOOD. I’m just trying to live my best life, and want to ensure that my little one does the same! That’s why today I’m talking all about toddler meal prep.
