Chomping at the bit, were you? Well, here it is. I have to start off by saying that with both of my kids, the pregnancy, labor and delivery were relatively easy compared to many stories I have heard, and for that I am eternally grateful. Seriously. I've heard so many crazy stories, and I basically get pregnant and have a baby. End of story. But, because I love you, I will do my best to make this readable at the very least and charming if you're being kind. 1:30 am Ellen comes into our … [Read more...]

Mary, a Sheenazing Nominee FYI, has this awesome blog called Let Love Be Sincere, and if you don't read it, then you are missing out on a lot of truth, a lot of family cuteness, and a lot of sass. Why are you missing out on that? Don't miss out on that anymore. Go there. Be her friend. And, thank her for taking care of my postpartum self with this awesome post. I may or may not be in dire need of this advice. Hint: I may. So psyched to be guest-blogging in Jenna’s world.  As I told … [Read more...]

If you don't follow Ana from Time Flies When You're Having Babies, your life might be not as fun as it could be. No, really. So, pop your little self over there, subscribe to her blog, then come back and celebrate the arrival of my due date with a baby already born by reading about how relaxed she is. I think I am starting to swallow some of these pills she is talking about... On the occasion of Jenna pushing baby number two out into the world, I thought I would talk a little bit about one of … [Read more...]

Guest Post: Indulgences That Are Good for You

May 23, 2013 By 1 Comment

Ya'll know that sometimes bloggers need to get paid. Today I need to get paid. And, I thought this post was super appropriate given my current situation (I just pushed a baby out of me and all). So, give it a read if you would like, and if you would not like, then do not do so. The end. [Image License: Creative Commons.

I'll just start off by saying that these cookies do not contain breast milk so you can relax and enjoy this post now. Also, after writing this post I was amazed at how foggy my brain still is. Apologies, dear readers. So, you remember my doula, Vicki, right? She works with Trust Birth and Beyond, and she makes these amazing oatmeal chocolate chip lactation cookies. Now, I'm sure you could go online and find some kind of recipe for some kind of lactation cookie, but I want to know who has time … [Read more...]
