An Insurrection, and the Birth of my Pandemic Baby
More notes from the archives. It was such a crazy time in 2020 and 2021, that I tried to document here and there before I had the blog up and running. I am so grateful, looking back, that I did this. While the short hand might be messy, there was so much happening in the […]
The Best Bras after Nursing
I’ve done the work, so you don’t have to. I spent a lot of money this weekend, but I don’t regret it. Did I need every little thing I got? For sure no. But you know what I did need? Good bras. Ever since I had kids and have breastfed and created two tiny Humans, […]
