Y'all I am a member of Influenster and I received a voucher for a free entree of my choice ! I chose the lasagna with meat sauce! Let me tell you that it is SOOOOO good and what's better is that it is organic!!!! Target sells them! Plus they were only $8.99 without the voucher( FREE with my voucher!) Jerod and I ate for free but would have only eaten for $8.99! We eat out more than we probably should and this meal is a great alternative to eating out and spending $20+! ...
{Trust}
When I was little I used to play the trust game- where you have someone behind you and you were supposed to fall backwards in hopes that they would catch you. That was a hard game for me to play. I did not want to fall and not be caught. Trusting someone is a hard thing to do especially if you have been hurt consistently by that person and have been let down by them. Thankfully no one dear to me has hurt me in that way before. As a mom I want my children to trust me with their lives. I want ...
THE p u m p i n g lifestyle :)
So I have almost been pumping for 8 months now!!!!!!!!!!!! I can honestly say that I DO enjoy hooking up to that noisy thing every day! {4x a day actually!} I am going to give you the story behind my pumping because I don't think I ever have! After I gave birth to Oakland over 4 years ago I thought I would breastfeed and that it would be simple. I mean God created me and he created in me the ability to be a mother and so I thought well I will FOR SURE be able to BF! Man it hurt! I pumped ...
L a t e l y ……
This past week was my SPRING BREAK and it was fabulous!!!! I got a lot done! Here's some of the stuff that happened! This little girl .... got her ears pierced!!!!! I was really hoping it wouldn't hurt a ton and that she wouldn't cry SO much.... but after each ear was done she cried for less than 30 seconds and thankfully it was over! This little guy ... started group swim lessons for the first time~ and LOVED it! Last summer one of Jerod's friends taught him out of his ...
Choosing to N O T stop exclusively pumping! ( RELACTING)
As you all may know from my last post I decided to stop pumping! After much thought I have decided to try and re lactate. Now if you google ( which I google everything!) re-lactation there is not much information on this topic! re lactation is- re-establishing breastfeeding after stopping breastfeeding, or after a period of very little breastfeeding. In my case- I am re-establishing a pumping routine after a short period of not pumping! So it's going to be much ...
Choosing to stop exclusively pumping!
Just so you are aware: There are not many mothers who exclusively pump.... or maybe I don't know that many. I have a few friends who do it. I am sharing my story in hopes that you can find support, ask questions, or just know the process I went through... Why am I stopping? My answer has been a difficult one. I am stopping because I don't need to anymore. I have been an over-producer with Ainsley and from the time of her birth until now ( she is 7 months and 3 days) I have enough milk in ...
