TWO THINGS EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE IN THEIR PANTRY TO HELP WITH A COUGH
Fall is the time of year that germs and sicknesses tend to ramp up. WIth everyone back in school, eating more sugar than real Whole Foods and not getting lots of direct time in the sunshine, immune systems are at a new low and are more susceptible to getting a cold. So many people I’ve talked to are dealing with all the things being passed around and especially coughs. I do feel like there is a need for modern medicine if symptoms are VERY bad but for the most part I do believe that most things can be handled at home. Coughs are interesting to treat because how different they…

Why I Decided To Get Hair Extensions Postpartum After Baby Number 6
In early January, I decided to take the plunge and get hair extensions and I absolutely LOVE them. You’re probably wondering why I would do something like this so here it goes… For the past ten years, I’ve been pregnant or postpartum and my hair has seen better days.

Why I Suggest All Breastfeeding Moms Use a HAAKKAA
If you’re about to have a baby or just had a baby and nursing, then I strongly urge you use a HAAKAA milk catcher when you’re nursing. The HAAKKAA is made for breastfeeding and pumping moms. I’ve used it with my last three babies and WOW it has really been a major perk while postpartum and wanting to start a milk supply but not wanting to pump. It is perfect for those who have baby latched to one side, and are experiencing a let down on the other side. I always attach to my other breast while nursing and then take the collected milk and store it in the freezer.…

Not only has this left my 30 year old skin in a state…
