In a week where we are celebrating all matters of the heart, it's only appropriate that this week is also one dedicated to Congenital Heart Defects and Childhood Heart Disease.
CHD is considered to be the most common birth defect....
We’ve all been there - it’s 7 a.m. and you’re staring down the remarkably long and dark barrel of a day with no scheduled activity for your toddler. When you find yourself confronting conditions as treacherous as these, you...
I heard someone say recently that motherhood makes for the longest days but the shortest years. With a six-week-old, a 2 ½-year-old, and a 4 ½-going-on-12-year-old I am painfully acutely aware of the long days part of this proposed...
If your child was recently diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum, you probably have a lot of questions. Our family is not very far along in this journey, and I have to be honest - this was emotionally draining for me...

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...
I was clueless about newborn care when I had my daughter. In my defense, I thought I had 15 more weeks to educate myself on such things as diapering, sleeping, and that hot topic of feeding. I can remember...
I knew that I wanted to breastfeed from the moment I found out I was pregnant. I assumed that it would be a natural and easy process. Haven't women been doing this since the beginning of time? I read...
For those of you that are familiar with my blog (which has been severely neglected lately), you might be sick of hearing about my boobs. As someone once pointed out to me, "You talk about them a lot." But I...
It's no secret that one of the hot topics of motherhood is feeding. From breastfeeding to bottle feeding, from organic to traditional baby food, mamas are passionate about how they nurture their babies! Today Alamo City Moms Blog is...
