Actually it wasn’t today but it was recent. I’ve written about my struggles with trying to stay healthy and losing the baby weight and doing what’s best both for myself and for Annabelle. Like so many moms I’ve been trying to do it all, and then I lost it. Recently I’ve had conversations with other […]

Milk seems to be a real issue for me. Whether it’s raw cows milk, goat milk or breast milk, it seems like it’s never more than a few days before I’m back onto the subject of milk. Annabelle is nearing her first birthday and I’m trying to decide what to do about my milk. The […]
