Dear First Time Moms,
There’s something happening, and it’s beginning to be a real problem. Here’s the trouble, my tired friends – magazines, baby books, that $5 app that I did love but that hinted at my maternal deficiencies, or perhaps...
During most of our early days as parents, we basically transcend from one day into the next like a slow moving hippo playing in the mud. The light is dark at the end of the tunnel, seasoned parents will...
So you’ve just had a baby! Congratulations. I hope you’re doing OK and getting some (any?!) much-needed rest. You might be too sleep-deprived to have noticed it yet, but the holiday season is upon us! Christmas is just a...
I can write this only now that I have officially survived having “two under two.” Never mind my freshly minted two-year-old who hands me sass and facial expressions fit for a teenager on the regular ever since the day...
It seems like yesterday that I was dealing with it: still in a postpartum haze, picking up my briefcase, and heading back to the office a mere 12 weeks after my first daughter was born. I had a snazzy...
Breast feeding all three of my babies was labor of love. For me, breastfeeding was not easy and it was only due to sheer determination that kept me going, especially when it was time to go back to work...

My goal in 2019 was to give birth. I was due January 2nd, but we welcomed our baby into our arms on New Year's Eve! So I got to ring in the New Year with my resolution already accomplished.
That,...
A few weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to take a trip to the beach with a group of good friends. Amidst many laughs, the topic of motherhood came up and one mom said, “Those first two weeks after...
The nuttiest thing I’ve ever done didn’t happen in my teens or under the influence of alcohol; it happened when I was at my wit’s end, trying to stay awake to feed my little one at 3:00 A.M. My...
Ah, newborn life. On the outside it’s endless baby cuddles and adorable swaddled selfies. But on the inside it’s a wild ride. A ride where you have to constantly guess why a tiny human is crying, adopt spit up...
