Thank you mom, I get it now.
I find it so comforting knowing nurses week, teacher appreciation week and mothers day all fall within a week of each other. Being a mother is a role that wears many hats.

Just one more time
A precious gift, it is, when a woman becomes a mother to a beautiful baby. One piece of advice given to every mother is “cherish the moments, they grow up too fast.” How is this possible when the days turn into nights and exhaustion sets in?

Breastfeeding: aka hungry 24/7 X a million
You know how people start telling you something and somewhere along the line you get lost or maybe you just don't hear them right and you just shake your head, nod, laugh and agree? You are really not sure what they said or what they meant, you just hope it wasn’t a question. Well that… Continue reading Breastfeeding: aka hungry 24/7 X a million
Pregnancy: aka hungry 24/7
So, as I said in my previous blog, we found out we were pregnant January 4th 2018.
