(…or at least your nipples) If you couldn’t tell from the title, this post is about to turn TMI. Consider this a disclaimer for the faint of heart or the prudish, or the useless-nipple bearing human (a.k.a. male) who has made it thus far. Seriously, if you’re a male hoping for spank bank material, you’ll…

According to 90% of my IG followers, your baby is an escape artist when it comes to diaper changes. You’re not alone–once mine are mobile they also decide to pull the same trick. This is an inconvenience at best, and a potentially messy situation at worst, AKA a pooptastrophe. We’ve all been there. One moment…

I completely forgot to post about this when it happened! A journalist from the UK called me for a lengthy phone interview regarding my family. What a fun experience! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-5338651/Mother-gave-birth-THREE-sets-twins-without-IVF.html

I recently had the opportunity to try Milkful Mamas lactation bars. Believe it or not, this is the first product geared towards lactating mothers that I’ve tried! I sampled the blueberry almond coconut and here are my thoughts: 1. Flavor: The coconut flavor is light but dominant. Almonds and blueberries are noticeable, and there’s also…

I recently had the opportunity to test drive a hands free pumping accessory. First things first, when I initially discovered the product I could not contain my excitement. With a cup size nearly halfway through the alphabet, the struggle is real when it comes to finding anything that accommodates the girls. As a full term…

This is segment two of a series on breastfeeding. Click here for segment one. How many times have you heard another mom say, “I stopped breastfeed because I didn’t have enough milk”? Or maybe that’s the reason you stopped breastfeeding. According to one study published in JOGNN, milk production is the main reason that mamas…

Raising children is expensive, there’s no doubt about it. You don’t need to have three sets of twins and a bonus singleton to realize that kids are money pits. From diapers, to braces, to that ER bill from little Johnny sticking a Lego up his nose, there’s always some expense when it comes to children….

A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to answer a few questions for Twinmom.com. In my enlightened baby brain state (haha), I completely forgot to share the article here. As a mother to seven, the adage “better late than never” is practically one of my mottos, and it’s certainly applicable in this case….

Chances are if you’ve made it to my blog, you’ve seen both my breastfeeding photos and pictures of my marvelous milk stash on social media. You may want to know what my secret is to milk production, and you may be struggling with breastfeeding your own little one(s). While I’ve managed to respond to a…

Not only do I know a fantastic newborn photographer in my area, I have the honor of calling her my friend.  When she offered to capture images of my latest additions, of course I couldn’t turn her down.  Veronica has over six years experience as a photographer, an extensive collection of props, and a cozy…

I write this with two babies, their bellies full of milk, snuggling on my chest. They arrived 2 weeks ago today, and it’s been a bit of a whirlwind since. I’ve been trying to find the words to succinctly and accurately describe their arrival while fearing inadequacy to express the perfection of the experience. I…

Cankles are probably one of the most common woes of pregnancy, especially when you are gestating multiple fetuses. For those who haven’t heard the term, ‘cankle’ is simply a combination of ‘calf’ and ‘ankle’, and it describes an edematous state where no distinction can be made between the two parts. As a working mom pregnant…
