Until 3 years ago, I never had any issues with my skin. Nothing. Ok, I had to moisturize a LOT, but that was pretty much it. And then, I had our daughter. And we ended up bottle feeding after 2 months. And I ended up hand washing bottles at least an hour a day…. which is when my eczema first ... Read More »

I don’t know about you, but when I was a tween (which, by the way, wasn’t a thing when I was growing up!), I had my utopian house blue prints down to a T. Literally. Inspired by my best friend Donna, I bought a pad of graph paper and started figure out room layout, door & window placement, & contemplated the ... Read More »
Well, I’m finally one of the many making school lunches every morning. My little man is almost 2 weeks into his school career and LOVING it. Hendrik’s school, like many, has 2 ‘nutrition breaks’ instead of snack time & lunch time. This means that I need to pack him 2 mini-lunches, because if he was left to his own devices ... Read More »
