Take what can serve you, a[...]

I've been asked this question perhaps two weeks into having a baby. It's a question that comes over and over again and I've been adamant to answer it because within all of our life changes, I couldn't yet explain how our relationship had changed. It had, of course, but there was so much work for us to do in multiple aspects, that I was waiting to f[...]
Google has been a best friend to a lot of us. I mean, no wonder the FBI looks into people's Google search history when they're working on cases; it reveals a lot about you!

Now, today, I've gotten into an uncontrollable spiral where[...]

I have heard over and over again how pregnancies are all so different and it is true but there are pregnancy questions or "preparation" I wish I would've know about. it's only after running into certain things, that I observed that there is quite a lack of support and communication around these things that could make a pregnancy and postpartum much[...]
WHAT IS A BABYMOON, YOU ASK? It's that one trip you take before the baby comes and turns your life around! It's usually a little before the "no-more-travel" mark and you go and enjoy yourself to the fullest! From traveling with morning sickness to turning into a lobster, I still managed to have the most beautiful trip with Kyle while Oliver was peac[...]
