So many issues, so little time…

I’m having an epiphany.  I hate epiphanies.  Because for me they usually signal the presence of yet another issue.
Anyway, I’m restless, I’m discontent and I’m generally frustrated.  And so I have to ask myself, “Why am I so frustrated?”
Well, frustration is what you get when one of you’re personal goals is blocked.  Which leads me [...]

Who said breastfeeding was easy?

Of all the things new mothers are surprised by, the fact that breastfeeding doesn’t come naturally seems to always be somewhere near the top of the list.  That and the fact that you had no idea how much a baby would change your life.  (OK, so maybe these are my top two.)

A people-pleasing parent. Not a good combination.
