It was a rainy Wednesday, last week, when I met my friend Emily at Open Door Cafe. It was my first time visiting this establishment, and I was excited to try it out. We were ushered into the dining room and the staff were accommodating by leading us a table out of the regular traffic [...]

A few evenings ago, I felt like I was watching my very own edition of Country Fried Home Videos.
Two of our neighbors discovered that we have what we think to be European Hornets that have made a nest inside a tree in our yard. The tree was struck by lighting and has a big gash [...]

In it she talks about living each moment with our children to it’s fullest, and not rushing from one task to another. It’s something I always need to be reminded of.

Today the boys turn five months old. It’s hard to believe they’re so old now! Each day is an exciting discovery. They are sitting up and standing with support now, and everything that they can grab goes into their drooly mouths. They are rolling with ease and generally sleeping through the night.

* Never confront a murderer with the fact that you know he/she is a murderer by yourself. Instead, call the police.
* If you think the “bad guy” is dead, do not check to make sure. They’re always still alive, and one last battle will ensue. High tail it out of there!
* If a man and [...]

I know there are several other nursing mothers who read this blog, so I couldn’t not pass on this possibly valuable information.
I’ve consistently had problems with recurring clogged milk ducts. It is painful and can cause Mastitis, which I’ve been on the verge of having twice. After talking to my lactation consultant, she said that [...]
