Happy World Breastfeeding Week! Here are a few breastfeeding facts: Your milk is tailor made for your baby. Most babies digest breastmilk faster and easier than formula or any other types of milk. Breastfeeding saves you money! When you breastfeed your baby, you lower your risk breast and ovarian cancer. It’s ok to breastfeed your…
I am pro breastfeeding. I am pro breastfeeding in public. I’ve always been cool with anyone breastfeeding in public, and I used to have little cards with the Texas law on them that I’d hand out to women I’d see nursing in public, just in case they ever get into a situation where they’re asked…
I ran across these on Facebook and I thought they were fantastic for those of us who do not use bottles and babywear our babies! These images came from Natural Mamas where she teamed up with the creator of these coloring pages, Sarah of Embracing Art. You can find more of her work on her Facebook…

A little update on me… I want to apologize for my absence lately. Since Jett was born, I’ve had a really hard time with plugged ducts, and it’s not been a fun road at all! Couple that with thrush and milk blisters, breastfeeding has been an extremely painful challenge, but one I’ll never give up…
What’s really cute about this is that he’s absolutely oblivious! Baby boy has no idea he’s the flying purple people eater!!
Here’s a cute story, if you can follow it! For dinner, I made up a recipe (nothing new around here) that turned out to be FANTASTIC! The basic ingredients were zucchini, tomato, bread crumbs, pine nuts, basil (recipe for another post), and other spices. The boys kept looking at it, and finally, Braxton asked, “What…
