This isn’t an easy task, emotions aside.  Whether you’re returning to work after a few weeks, months, or

An Artistic Love for Cloth Diapers
October 16, 2013 9:56 am | by

Meet Lindsey Rae Junkins: a stay-at-home mom, loving wife and talented artist.  Lindsey married her high-school sweetheart, and became a stay-at-home mom after giving birth to her soon to be, three-year-old son. Believe it or not, this little guy became an explorer before the age of three months, as he had traveled through nine different states! Now, that’s what I call an adventurer.  Years later, Lindsey and her family now live a steady home life in Georgia, where she is quite active in a local Mommy’s group. The group gathers at nearby parks to do crafts and pre-school friendly science experiments with

Real Mom Talk: You’re One Good Mum
October 15, 2013 4:08 am | by

It happened to me again the other day. I was in a store with both my preschoolers and they were in yet another argument with each other and with me. Someone was accusing someone else of doing something that “I don’t wike, Mommy!!”. One was shrieking and the other was bawling. We had reached this point after a series of the “I want”s on each aisle, followed by long and involved sessions of “what is that, Mommy?”s. Worst of all, I had run out of snack I found myself begging and pleading “Just five more minutes, guys! I know you

Real Mom Talk: Babywearing
October 8, 2013 6:56 am | by

I’ve been a baby-wearer since I first became a mom. That was seven years ago, when my oldest was born. I started out with a sling and then tried a Mei-Tei style carrier. Then I acquired a ring sling. And an Ergo. So it’s safe to say that I have several different baby wearing options and I love each one for different reasons.     Baby wearing was key for my sanity when my kids were infants. Three out of four of them had reflux and staying upright helped keep them comfortable and lessened the amount of crying (both theirs and
