The Promise of the Rainbow

It is still National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness month. Please check out my recent post to learn more about pregnancy and infant loss. Today, I am sharing Talysa McCall's story

"A rainbow baby is a baby born after a loss of a previous child.

It is understood that the beauty of a rainbow does not negate the ravages of any storm. When a rainbow appears, it does not mean that the storm never happened or that we are not still dealing with its aftermath. It means that something beautiful and full of light has appeared in the midst of the darkness and clouds. Storm clouds may still hover, but the rainbow provides a counterbalance of color, energy, and hope." - Unknown

National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month

This month I am sharing stories from women who have experienced a pregnancy or infant loss. In hopes that it can help someone who has recently been through this or someone who might experience it in the future. Not too many people know the chances of it happening to them or they don't know how to react when someone shares that they have had a miscarriage.

Without My Coffee, I'm Not Me

Now that I am a mom of a busy toddler and I have to do this thing called adulting, I need my coffee. Without it, I feel sluggish and can quickly crash at 3 pm every day. When I have caffeine in my system, I feel like I can get anything done. So, in a day of being a mom, I need my McCafé!

Traveling With A One Year Old

Traveling with a child can be very hard especially if it's just you and the baby. I recently traveled 6 hours to and from South Carolina with my daughter. Usually, Adora doesn't do so well with long rides, so I was pretty scared about making this drive alone with her. Surprisingly, the trips went way better than what I expected! I guess it's because I mentally prepared myself for the ride, took my time, and made sure I had everything so that I didn't need to make any unnecessary stops. I decided to share five tips that will help to make traveling smoother for both you and your baby!

How I Honestly Feel About Breastfeeding

Today I want to share with you guys how I really feel about breastfeeding. I exclusively breastfed(having breastmilk as the only source of nutrition) Adora until she was 4 months and gave her baby food occasionally after that. After breastfeeding for a year and still going.
