Marriage After Baby – How Having A Baby Changed My Marriage
Something I remember vividly about pregnancy was realizing just how often strangers love to offer their two cents. Mommas, I know you can relate, when I say that although most of the time they mean well, we typically wish they would just keep it to themselves. One thing specifically, that I was asked a lot while I was pregnant was “first baby?” I would politely smile and nod. Then they would raise their eyebrows, and the words that would follow, were what I found to be, some of the most annoying phrases: “Ah your whole world is about to change.” or “Your life will never be the same.” Like I…

Shopping Cart Cover For Baby – Is It Necessary?
When it comes to public places, its to be that germs are lurking everywhere. Before having a baby, I was somewhat germ conscious, but nothing like I am now. As a parent, you quickly realize that every public place is a breeding ground for germs. Naturally, it is our instinct to protect our little ones from anything dangerous or potentially harmful. Which is the reason we jump to cover their face as soon as someone coughs nearby or the reason we request that new visitors wash their hands before holding them. These are all obvious health hazards in terms of germs, but what we often fail to realize is that…

Healthy Toddler Meals – What My 1 Year Old Eats In A Week
Let’s face it, one of the hardest parts of ‘adulting’ is meal planning. Trying to figure out meals for the week while trying to mix it up every now and then is truly one of my greatest struggles. Throw in an opinionated and very hungry toddler to the mix, and it’s a recipe for disaster – pun intended. The thought of Hayvn going off formula and transitioning to 3 meals a day was one of my worst nightmares as a new mom. I could barely plan healthy balanced meals for myself without getting stuck in a rut, and now I had to do it for someone else too? Well, if…

5 Things the Military Taught Me That Prepared Me For Motherhood
Guest Feature By Willy Burden www.youareequipped.com My senior year in high school, I was faced with a decision: to go to a 4-year university or to join the military. To make a long story short, I chose the latter. Going off to the military seemed like the best choice for me because I wanted to get away from home, leave everything behind, and start on an adventure. Besides, the Air Force recruiter convinced me to join because of all the military benefits. One that interested me the most was college tuition assistance. Fast forward to September of 1997, I was shipped off to boot camp without any inclination of what…
