Hmm, maybe these oils really do work

What you're looking at here is a very pregnant me (second person from the left in the awesome tye dye sweatshirt) that had never heard about essential oils before nor was I a believer, to say the least.

When will be the last time?

Last night when I was finally drifting off to sleep (around 3:15am) I heard my 16 month old making baby talk, tossing and turning. He wasn't fully awake, and the last 3 weeks have proven that he is fully capable of going back to sleep on his own. I didn't *need* to go into his… Continue reading When will be the last time?

It's like come the end of January or the beginning of February it's not necessarily "New Years" anymore and people lose sight… Continue reading Why I don’t make new year resolutions and what I do instead

Things I wish I would’ve known before I started breastfeeding

Breastfeeding is down right incredible. I mean, you're giving your child the best nutrition possible-and you're MAKING the milk within your breasts! As if creating life within your womb and nourishing them for 9(ish) months wasn't astonishing enough, if you decide to breastfeed you're continuing to be their sole source of nutrition for the first year… Continue reading Things I wish I would’ve known before I started breastfeeding
