The Haakaa

The single best device that I've ever used as a breast feeding mother.

How Do We Know When To Let Go?

How Do We Know When To Let Go?

I've recently become a mother of three. 

It's been amazing! My kids are wonderful, peaceful and so sweet. They LOVE their little brother and help me take care of him. They love to give him kisses and hugs and they never try to poke him in the eye. My son recently started preschool and getting him out the door is always a dream. He listens when I ask him to get his shoes on, and even helps his sister get herself ready. Preschool drop off is always exciting as he prepares for a new day or learning.
