When I was pregnant with my first baby, I remember being a bit bewildered by all of the hospital packing lists out there. I wondered what to pack in my hospital bag…and I especially wondered what to bring as a “coming home outfit.” Now that I have had two babies, I know what to look […]
Nursing Clothes Review: Japanese Weekend
As I mentioned in a previous post, nursing clothes are not a necessity…but they can be very nice. Especially in circumstances that may require you to nurse in public (example: taking a trip by plane). I know some women feel comfortable nursing anytime, anywhere – but I’m a more private person. If I am […]
Nursing Clothes: An Introduction
Think of this as your primer about nursing clothes. Nursing Clothes 101. A Q & A session for the new mom and mom-to-be. Here goes… WHAT ARE NURSING CLOTHES?

Themed Weekend: Breastfeeding
There are so many things to talk about when it comes to breastfeeding… We could get down to business and talk about how much it hurts, but also how worth it is to continue because there are so many benefits of breastfeeding.
