You’re Gonna Miss This I still follow all the breastfeeding support groups and pages I utilized while nursing. Day after day I see moms asking for advice, for recommendations, for simple acknowledgement that they’re doing the right thing. From time to time I comment, hoping to help. I’ve been out of the breastfeeding game for 2 years now and I still miss it very often. I miss the bond with my children. I miss the milk drunk smiles and their little hands rubbing my face while they happily nursed. I look back on that time with so much fondness. I’ve breastfed 3 out of my 4 children.

An Open Letter To Moms :: When Your Child Struggles In School To the mom of children who struggle in school :: I see you. From experience, today was probably another hard day.

Raising Two Different Personalities I love the joys of having two little ones. I have enjoyed almost every moment of their little lives. Vaccinations and first days are always hard. The same with sickness and accidents. But having children with two different personalities feels like I’m raising them in completely different ways. Some of these differences have to do with their age. I have a little boy and a toddler. My toddler wants to be a big boy so bad and my little boy wants to be an adult. My oldest loves words of affirmation. He loves to know you’re proud of him. That makes him feel special and important. He doesn’t discuss his feelings a lot but praise makes him...
