Target Nurse In!
Target Nurse In!
It was brought to my attention that there is a nation-wide “nurse-in” December 28th 10:00AM at all Targets.

She then called Target’s corporate customer service number and was told by a representative, and then her supervisor that … Keep Reading!!!

Santa For Families That Don’t “Do” Santa
I think Santa is a lot of fun….so do my kids.
We all know he isn’t real.
I’ve come to learn there are different Santa familes:

Family 2: The Anti-Santa-ers. The jolly rosie-cheeked man is about as accepted in this house as a burglar.
Family 3: Some may say lukewarm Santa-ers? Keeping with the secular tradition of Santa with the children fully … Keep Reading!!!

A Breastfeeding Story: Breastfeeding After HELLP Syndrome
I met Wendy through a cloth diapering group I joined when Aram was a couple months old! Wendy and I bonded over our shared experience having babies born around the same gestational week, and both having suffered from Preeclampsia and HELLP Syndrome (and subsequently breastfeeding after HELLP syndrome has occurred).
1. Tell us about your personal breastfeeding experience with your children.
No one ever told me that breastfeeding would be the hardest thing I would ever do.

Traveling With Kids and Keeping Your Sanity
Traveling with kids is never easy. Sometimes it’s nearly unbearable. The only thing that seems to make it worthwhile is knowing that, eventually, there’s a destination that marks the end of the trip and finally eliminates the endless refrain of “are we there yet?”.
Thankfully there are some ways to help make trips (a little bit) more tolerable. However, unless your plan includes pediatrician-approved doses of Benadryl, it usually requires a little bit of work on your part. Here are … Keep Reading!!!
