I swear I am surrounded by a sea of plastic. In an effort to expand our toys to include non-plastic and natural items I started researching natural toy companies. I found a bunch of ridiculously expensive toy companies offering toys that seemed less than enriching, which was frustrating. I found two companies that seemed to ...
I have been looking for inexpensive nursing clothes for the last few months of my pregnancy. I wanted something that would be comfortable, good for nursing, and flexible in size as I shrink to my pre-pregnancy weight. There are a ton of options out there, and so many are hugely expensive. As someone ...
It is time to prep for breastfeeding and pumping! This time around I really wanted to try a hands free pump bra that actually worked, since last time I tried the Medela and it never seemed to hold steady or get enough milk out. As my body changed it became ill-fitting. I heard about ...

Oh man the 3rd trimester is tough on the belly. I feel and look like a balloon, but not nearly as light. Chasing after a toddler is no small feat in this size and shape, so I started researching maternity belts. There are so many options on Amazon and they all seem to do the ...
