The hardest lesson I have learned in motherhood so far has come completely unexpected. I didn’t think I needed any help. I thought I could raise these little boys all on my own. I was so wrong. I discovered a village of people around us, ready and willing to help. I am forever grateful.

We decided to wait till the birth of our second baby to find out if we would have a son or a daughter. I’m here to tell you how I prepared for this baby without knowing the gender before birth.

My last baby’s birth was just as dramatic as my first, but it was quite a bit more scary and emotional.

My first birth was an amazing experience. I had my baby almost two weeks late and it was a hard labor. I wouldn’t change a thing.

Over thanksgiving weekend I went on a spontaneous vacation. In three years as a mother, I never considered going away for a weekend without my family but I just went and I had an amazing time.

Mothers have a unique perscpective on the holiday season, especially Christmas. It’s magical and wonderful to experience Christmas as a mother each year.

Deciding when to wean can be difficult and emotional. When I decided it was time to wean my last baby, I knew it was time but it was still so hard.

Sometimes mothers need a little help breastfeeding their babies. Read my post about being on both ends of donating and receiving breastmilk
