Well it finally happened – my first moment feeling like a complete and utter failure as a mom. This weekend has been a whirlwind of lows. I tried to have a good self pity cry in the shower but then I just felt guilty about the drought which made my cry less enjoyable and so […]

Hi Ladies! I hope everyone is having a good week. With the busy holiday season upon us I thought it was the perfect time to talk about the importance of self care. As women, we often put ourselves last on the “to-do” list – work, household chores and family always seem to take priority. As […]

My Postpartum & Nursing Summer to Fall Capsule Wardrobe
By mariapelletier on September 25, 2017
Holy sticker price shock of having a new baby! We’ve been looking at the credit card bill and trying to figure out how to lower our expenses so I know me purchasing a whole new postpartum wardrobe wasn’t going to fly with the husband.
