Stop telling moms to just wait til insert some sta Stop telling moms to just wait til insert some stage of being a parent. Everyone views different stages of motherhood differently. For me personally the newborn/early baby phase is my absolute favorite while others may view it as the hardest. Telling moms to just wait when they are trying to discuss their struggles is more harmful then helpful.
What was the hardest part of motherhood for you? Let’s discuss in the comments!

Fall has always been my favorite season. The color Fall has always been my favorite season. The colors, the coolness to the air and the activities. This year has been completely different though. The last 6 weeks have been an absolute blur and consumed with taking care of Chloe and making my way through this crazy side of postpartum.
Today I finally was able to enjoy the beauty of this season. The cool air while I got out to walk with Chloe and all the beautiful colors that surrounded us. I’m feeling more and more like myself every single day and truly realizing how thankful I am for this season of my life. 
What’s something that you are thankful for right now?

I used to think that I would be so productive whil I used to think that I would be so productive while on maternity leave until I actually went on maternity leave. 
My days are filled with holding the baby, attempting to do laundry and washing pump and bottle parts. Not to mention this third baby loves to be carried, especially during the day making being productive extremely hard. Most days I get nothing extra done and that’s ok. 
This audio is also super fitting today since I will be spending the day on the couch, snuggling the baby and watching Gilmore Girls since it’s going to be a windy and rainy day here in New England.

Struggling with your milk supply while breastfeedi Struggling with your milk supply while breastfeeding or pumping? This smoothie is for you! 
Just blend some frozen fruit (I use @wymansfruit), coconut milk, coconut milk yogurt, banana and flaxseed meal and enjoy. 
Also I know that foods have not been scientifically proven to boost your supply but it doesn’t hurt to try a few different things out and this is one of them! 
Have you tried anything to boost your breast milk supply? Let me know in the comments!

Giving my coffee a pep talk after realizing school Giving my coffee a pep talk after realizing school and daycare are closed because it’s a Holiday and the baby only slept a total of 3 hours last night. Hoping my coffee holds some magic in this little cup today.
Anyone else?
