The people in our lives NEED to know how much they matter to us, it seems essential. It seems like it needs to be said every day. I LOVE YOU and you are so imp...

I want to talk about what “touched out” means. It means exactly what it sounds like. PLEASE DO NOT HANG ON ME. I want FIVE minutes alone to sit and watch Tik Tok or sip this SUPER cold coffee without you climbing on me and pulling on me or dragging me to play toys or trucks....

Supplementing basically means you are choosing an alternative to mix with milk. It does NOT mean you have given up. It does NOT mean you are lazy, incapable or any less of a parent by choosing to use an alternative to help with your feeds.

Right off the bat the bag is REALLY cool. It has a graffiti print which is nothing like I have seen for a diaper bag. The neat thing about the bag is it DOESN'T look like a typical bag which makes it wonderful for universal use! You can use it, your partner can use it, your kids can even use it for school! ...
