10 things I didn’t know until I started breastfeeding

Okay, so I've admitted before I thought breastfeeding would be so easy and natural. I didn't take a class while I was pregnant with Blaire. Didn't prep, didn't do any research. If it was so natural, everything would just work and it'd be just as easy as everyone said it was. (Spoiler alert: not the case for me.) There were so[...]

milky mama lactation brownie review

why I believe my family needs life insurance

When I left my full-time job to stay home with Blaire and Ben, I had been working in life insurance for three years. Up until I started there, I knew nothing about life insurance. I knew I had a life insurance policy through my employer and I just hoped it was something I would not have to spend any more time thinking about. As I dov[...]

8 tips to survive breastfeeding

As a first time mom I had no idea what breastfeeding entail. I didn't take a class. I bought a nursing tank, a nursing bra and a nursing cover. Boom. I was prepared. I was going to survive breastfeeding. I was even offended when several mom friends suggested I have a thing of formula at home just in case I needed it. Just in case?[...]
