October 20, 2014 By Julie 4 Comments

To Cover or Not to Cover?

August 6, 2014 By Julie 9 Comments

  Really? Another article on breastfeeding? Why bother? Two reasons. First, so I can learn to flesh out my thoughts on the matter. A week ago, I was hanging out with some friends whom I am VERY comfortable with. The topic of nursing in public came up, and when I tried to share my view, it […]

Forgive any typos, I was/am sleep deprived.) www.photosbylei.com With Loopy, I started labor 5 days before my due date, so I was expecting to have Lumpy a couple days before my due date; April 26th.

(Written in Feb. 2011) It’s been a week since Loopy was born and I finally have found some time to get the events down on paper. I did not picture his birth going down the way it did, but the end result was still a wonderful healthy baby boy that is one of the greatest blessings […]

My Favorite Baby Carriers

March 2, 2012 By Julie 3 Comments

I love babywearing. It was one of the things about taking care of a baby that I was most excited about during pregnancy. I didn’t know much about it while I was still pregnant. So when I saw a “Baby Bjorn” at a garage sale, I hopped on it. I never even put Loopy in […]
