As many of you know, I just had my second child (Welcome to the world, Finn!) and we are knee deep in babyness over here. It’s all uninterrupted sleep, boobs, and diapers. SO. MANY. DIAPERS. And you know what that means? So. Many. Wipes. And with that many wipes comes toxins and chemicals… or does it? Y’all know that I’m SUPER picky about keeping my house green and toxin-free. I strive to make it a safe haven for my family. But that’s so tough to do with baby wipes! That’s why I’m so delighted to discover WaterWipes! A company that is passionate about sharing why chemical free baby care is so important and how they are helping you achieve it.
Best Affordable Nursing Bras For Breastfeeding Moms With Big Boobs
Now that my baby boy is here, I’m back on the breastfeeding wagon. I nursed Melanie for two and a half years and wore nursing bras the entire time. And, even when I’m not nursing, I have big boobs. Like, “who did your plastic surgery” (Answer: GOD) big boobs. That makes finding nursing bras in my pricepoint even more of a challenge.At this point, I’m kind of an expert at finding great nursing bras at an affordable price. I love the wonderful, frilly, lacy ones SO MUCH but they definitely tend to be out of my price range so I’m always on the look out for ones that are practical (but still pretty) and work within my budget. So, I’ve decided to help y’all out and round up the best affordable nursing bras for breastfeeding moms with big boobs:

Some Tips And Suggestions For Traveling With A Toddler
Over Christmas, we flew round-trip from Austin, Texas to Anchorage, Alaska – and then drove from there to Salcha (and back!). As many of you know, I was born and raised in Alaska and we visit go there to visit my family for Christmas once every two years. This was our first time flying with a toddler (she was 5 months old the last time we did this trip) and I was also several months pregnant. Overall, Melanie did really great during each of our four flights plus the two eight+ hour car rides but I did figure out some tips and suggestions for traveling with a toddler and I’m sharing them with you!

Work At Home Mom: Ideology Versus Reality
I was raised by a work at home mom (my mom has had her own accounting business for 40+ years) and, to me, it was the ideal situation if I ever became a mom. I’d get to spend time with my kids and be there for special school days or to volunteer but I’d also get to help make money for the household and retain a little of my pre-kid independence. And I’m thrilled to say that, for the most part, I’m incredibly happy to be a WAHM. Sure, it’s exhausting and demanding and I routinely forget to brush my teeth, but, all in all, I like it. However, I have noticed that when you tell people that you’re a mom who works from home – they… really DO NOT get it. It’s funny to me to hear what people think WAHMs do (compared to what we actually do) so I’ve come up with this little graphic to show you what it’s like to be a Work At Home Mom: Ideology Versus Reality.
