“I felt the best I ever had during my pregnancies! I wish I could have bottled that feeling and sold it”
These are the words of my mother on the topic of pregnancy. The saying goes, ‘The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree’. Well, this apple fell off, rolled into the orchard next door, was then harvested and made into applesauce.
I wish I had experienced maternity the way my mother had, unfortunately that just wasn’t so. Although this was a magical time in my life (I mean it’s not every day you create a human), it had its difficult days.
Pregnancy is awe-inspiring and beautiful. To have the capability to make life is a privilege more rewarding than any other experience I have encountered. The love that blossoms for your child is like that of no other. Yes, we all love others in our lives, but our children are a part of you. Some say to have children is to have your heart walking around outside your body and it’s true!
Labor and Delivery is tough. Whether you had a vaginal birth or a C-section, serious trauma has occurred to your body. It was totally worth it of course! Your post pregnancy body needs some time to adjust to all that its been through. This list of Post Pregnancy Recovery Tips consist of some ideas and actions that helped me through the recovery process. I can only hope they do the same for you. Congrats momma!
Oh the drool! Little one is gnawing, biting, slobbering and munching away! That baby is teething and it can be maddening.

It’s time to get into gear and prepare with this simple Teething Baby Survival Guide.
An uncomfortable baby is an unhappy baby. As parents, we don’t want that slobbery little munchkin to suffer from the chompers that are fighting their way in. There are several remedies and options out there, however, these are what worked best for our family. I really strive to keep things natural with our kiddos. Therefore, this list consists of natural or homeopathic items.
Keepsakes from our kids are something to treasure. Especially as they grow, their thoughts and opinions change. These super sweet All About Page Printable’s are something to cherish for years to come. Print one for every year or as a gift for a loved one.
Some kids are pretty shy. I find that these short simple questions are an opportunity to let your child express their feelings and thoughts in a safe environment without pressure. Your little one will enjoy the opportunity to express themselves and find their voice. Once the questionnaire is filled out, frame it, send it or file it away as a way to keep track of your child’s ever changing views.
We are all supermoms! You there, still in your pajama pants at 2 pm, yes YOU! That’s right, you are a supermom! Over there, you at the office, crunching numbers, you at home typing your next post, yes, all of you! Every one of you are supermoms and you have already accomplished your TO-DO List for the day!
How can this be, you may ask. Your list has the same ten tasks you have been struggling to squeeze in for the last five months!
Oh no, I’m not talking about that list. That list will get checked off in due time. I’m referring to your actual daily list of things to do. The list you don’t even bother to write down because its engraved in your mind and you understand that if that list is not done, the entire operation will fall apart!
