Dress Like a Star w/ Milkstars

breastfeeding in public: my take

October 19, 2009 By Stephanie

When I had my first baby in 2006, I “went into hiding” every time my baby had to nurse. If we were out to dinner, I would go out to the car and put the sunshade up. If we were at a friend’s house, I would resign to one of the back bedrooms. If we […]

National Breastfeeding Awareness Month: a letter to myself

August 21, 2009 By Stephanie

August is National Breastfeeding Awareness Month. In honor of the event, I thought I’d write a letter about breastfeeding…to myself.

Fashion Finds: for Nursing Moms

August 8, 2009 By Stephanie

May 11, 2009 By Stephanie

I remember asking myself both of those questions when I was pregnant with my first child in 2006 (see right – that’s a photo of me 2 weeks before I had my daughter). 3 1/2 years later, I have a 2 1/2 year old and a 2-month-old…and I’m a little more “baby-wise” than I was […]
