I don’t know if it’s just me, but I found it overwhelming to choose what baby items to buy before our first, Ellie, was born. Not only did I have to fill out shower registry lists, but I also had to figure out what we should have on hand before baby’s arrival that we...
We all have our favourite foods and ingredients that we eat and use all the time, simply because that’s what we’re used to. But, it’s possible that those very foods are slowing us down, effing up our energy, and making us feel like crap. If that were...
I didn’t know it at the time, but I did have an inkling that it could be the last time breastfeeding my daughter. The day was February 10th, so about two weeks ago from the time of writing this blog post. Miguel had brought Ellie into our room after getting her...
