Writing about postpartum tips probably doesn’t do much for my Google ranking. It might make you click away before you even get –here–. Nevertheless, it’s important to me to give it to you straight about what’s coming after baby arrives. When I was pregnant, this was the kind of down-low this first-time mama was eager…

If you’ve got small children, let me share a tip for safe travels with tots. Pack electrical outlet plugs. Hotel rooms and vacation homes don’t…
The Postpartum Essentials No One is Talking About
Unless you’re among close friends, sharing postpartum experiences is socially taboo. Can you imagine chitchatting with the supermarket cashier about why you purchased Tucks wipes without even having hemorrhoids? I rest my case. Nevertheless, today’s post is meant to shed light on a couple of postpartum essentials that no one else might tell you about….
Nursing in Church
Okay, I admit, I don’t exactly breastfeed in church services. I nurse in the church nursery. That’s not really the heart of this post, but naming my post “The Best Nursing Dress on the Face of the Planet” just seemed too long and a whole lot less controversial. I’ve shared with you about Seraphine Maternity…

My newborn is a typical newborn. He regularly wakes at night, snoozes while nursing despite every attempt to keep him awake (yes, I’m that mom who even goes to the cold washcloth on the tummy extremes), and wets more than ten diapers daily.
