Breastfeeding Q&A

So this was something that I wanted to discuss after B.K got here, but since she won’t be here for another 6 weeks I thought I would talk about it now since so many of my readers have already had their babies and have asked. :)

I want to first start off saying that I am in no way a lactation consultant, health care professional, expert, or wet-nurse by any means, and if you do have health issues, and/or concerns, please contact your doctor, OBGYN, or local La Leche group. Also these are just my opinions and the things that worked for me. Everyone is different, every baby is different so please don’t feel like if you are doing something another way, or it’s not working for you, that there is anything wrong with you and your baby.

Questions from you and my answers: Continue reading

Early Pregnancy Symptoms While Raising Kids (Video)

I had made the decision to not do anymore videos till next week…buuuuuttttt, there is nothing else to do when you are sick in bed. I am very happy and blessed to be in the situation that I am in, and I am trying to remember that every time I have to stop what I’m doing to prevent nausea from turning into full on throwing up. It’s still hard and frustrating. I wanted to share my early symptoms though, so that I remember what I went through to get to my family of 5, and to also show my kids when they think that I don’t do enough for them. I do want to say though, that not every woman is alike. So please don’t compare yourself and your symptoms to me, and think that if you are not feeling the same then there is something wrong. I know that even with this being my third, I still sometimes have a tendency to do that, and all that does is drive you crazy for no reason. No two people will have the same exact pregnancy experience, that’s why it’s so fun to share. Continue reading

Outside of My Comfort Zone Videos

So I will start this off by saying watch the two videos first, OR you won’t understand what’s written. First Part 1, then Part 2 (obviously right? What would you do without me). These videos although fun to make were really hard to do at the same time. Part of me is scared because I’ve never put myself out there as much as I did today, Continue reading

The Joys of Homeownership…video included

All I ever dreamed about when I was younger was owning my own home…how materialistic of me right? What do you expect when your parents always say no to any ideas that you have to changing your room! All I wanted was my own space to be able to do anything I wanted to it. My apartments and townhouses weren’t the same. There you couldn’t paint the walls, you were charged 10 cents for any nail hole that you left in a wall, and you had to have very specific window treatments. Either white, off white, or cream. I wanted my own place where I could do anything I wanted to it.

Well I got it. Boy did I get it. Now I want to return it. Ok that is exaggerating. I love my house. I do. Just not the way we got it, how much we paid for it, AND all the things that have broken since we’ve been in it. You can check out the my vlog above for more details.

My advice to anyone buying a home, if you didn’t catch the video, is to NOT TRUST ANYONE. Have a nice day! :)

-Just a thought. Maybe if high schools taught more about how to take care of your personal finances, how to buy a home, how to open a bank account, and/or get a job, people would be better prepared for life after school. I haven’t used my learned knowledge of world war 3, for anything.
