Clinical Day.

November 7, 2011

Last Thursday, I had my first clinical day on my path to becoming an IBCLC. For those of you not acquainted with the breastfeeding world, that stands for International Board Certified Lactation Consultant.  I spent from 7:30 am until 5 pm helping new mommas learn how to breastfeed their babies.  It was incredible.

Family Portraits

Family Portraits

October 18, 2011

After taking portraits for other families, it made me realize that I haven’t gotten any pictures of MY family.  Since… well, since Ruby was born. So I dressed up my family, packed up the car, and we went to the pumpkin patch.  My darling mother-in-law came with and wielded the camera so I could be in a few shots too!  I’d love… Read More

Pool Disaster.

October 15, 2011

I’m excited to share these with you!

Ronan was given a gift this week by a very much loved family friend.  As soon as he saw them, he couldn’t wait to take them out for a spin! Thanks, Barb!  We had a ton of fun!

The Cold, Hard Truth.

The Cold, Hard Truth.

October 6, 2011

I’m a liar. I didn’t mean to be.  I thought I was telling the truth.  But I wasn’t – I lied. And I’m not sorry. They say a picture is worth a thousand words… these are worth millions. Ruby and I have been breastfeeding.  Exclusively.  For nearly two weeks. I don’t know what changed.  I don’t know why it happened…. Read More
