Yes, you read that correctly. I had jewelry made out of placenta and breast milk. I love science and the connection between birthing mothers’ bodies and babies, so when I read about it in a mom group I wanted to know more. I looked up people who do this service, mostly doulas, and chose the ...
Here is a short and sweet shameless promo for the nursing pads that I use everyday. These nursing pads have been life changing for me. I try really hard to limit our waste whenever possible, and throwing out 2-4 disposable nursing pads felt really horrible. Mommy Knows Best offers an organic bamboo nursing pad set ...
Breastfeeding is going really well for our son, so well that I end up leaking a lot of milk during my let down. I read on a Mom group that some moms were using manual pumps to catch their let down leakage, so I did a little research. I saw that most of the pumps ...
We have two babies in diapers now! Gone are the days when a Diaper Genie refill would last us a week, instead I found myself changing the refill every few days and frowning at the cost of each refill. This situation was compounded by the fact that the Diaper Genie still stinks! What wishes does ...

I LOVE RUGGABLE! Let’s just start there. I have been so excited to write this review because I’m obsessively telling people about Ruggable already. The story of how I came to know and love Ruggable starts with my daughter smashing food into our rugs. Well, I suppose it really starts with the fact that ...
