Children: Our most valuable natural resource.

Formula vs. Breastfeeding
I have three kids. All three of them are healthy babies. With my first two, I breastfed for two months before my supply would dwindle off on me. Then I would switch to formula. With my third, my milk didn't come in right away and my baby was hungry, so what did I do? Formula. I switched to formula asap because I knew he needed to eat. What did everyone in my life do? Tell me I was doing the wrong thing. Which sucked.

First Time Mom Chronicles II
Just like that time has flown by and my little girl is already 6 months old. It has been quite the roller coaster but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I am truly blessed to get to stay home with my baby girl and watch every milestone and see her grow each and every day. Some days are definitely harder than others but one good day makes up for the previous bad days. I am starting to get the hang of this mom thing.

I have spent very little time with my family in my life. Some girls are not that lucky who gets a time of her parents when she needed .

We're Not So Different: Blind? Sighted? Parents.
As I carry my daughter's laundry toward the stairs, I press my face into one of her shirts, breathing in her clean, unique scent. I find myself wishing I could carry a tactile reminder of it with me always. As of January 2022, when I write this entry, I am facing a departure in approximately three weeks; German law mandates my return to the States for several months before I can visit again.

commitment-shy. Top Story - January 2024.
I’m scared of holding babies. For context, I’m great with kids. I teach music lessons for a living, with students ranging from four years old to retired (and I don’t ask their ages). I taught preschool music for three years and had a splendid time wrangling two-to-five year olds who could form rudimentary sentences and scream song lyrics back at me.

2023:. Top Story - January 2024.
I know I say this every year, but 2023 was a year full of a lot of change for my little family. I started the year off barely working one job and being a full time mom. Ben was working two jobs, and we were living in a pretty awful place. We had a still pretty new baby, and we were still mostly struggling through our days, trying to figure out how to be parents.

Pregnancy After Loss
Growing up, I never wanted kids. I never wanted to get married. Mainly because of how messed up my family was, I always thought my family would be doomed. Kids were not a desire of mine, I was adamant on not having kids I even looked into getting my tubes tied at one point. I am happy that I did not pursue that and I am happy that my mindset shifted. My mindset shifted when I realized that I can break the generational ties and curses that were holding my family captive. My future family did not have to be held captive by the upbringing I endured and it was up to me to change that narrative.
