Not all solids are created equal. In fact, some of them can be quite fucking disgusting.
Now, I normally try to scale back on the profanity for the sake this is a mommy blog (okay, I was totally kidding when I just said that), but really...there is no other description for some solids.
You see, originally I was going to make baby food and I did attempt once by giving Yoda

Lately, the topic of posting pictures of deceased babies on social media has gained a bit of traction. There seems to be two sides - those who believe the parents have every right to post whatever they want, honoring their child and those who believe something so private shouldn't be posted on any type of social media.
It all stems from this recent news story. *WARNING: there are graphic images

This week kicks off National Breastfeeding Week and I'm about share my experiences with breastfeeding. I'm not going to lie - breastfeeding didn't just come naturally to me. In fact, I had to work really, really hard at it.
You see, many books, websites, and even some mothers, will sell a new mother on the idea that breast is best and that a woman should try every attempt possible to

Lately, we've been starting solid foods on Bo. It's been a touch and go, as expected. Some solids, he's gung-ho for like rice cereal, sweet potatoes, and pears. Some solid foods are so far a definite 'hell, no' like apples, oatmeal, any finger foods.
Today, I went grocery shopping and I picked up about 15 jars of solid foods for Bo to eat and some to try. I even picked up

Each time I say I'm going to update, I never do. So you know what? I'm going to start saying I'm going to update sooner and just do it. Yay for everyone!

I've always had a love-hate relationship with my hair. Unlike some women who prize their hair and treat it like a prized possession, my attitude towards my hair has always been more of an annoyance than a blessing. You see, I have really thick, curly, 4C type hair and my go-to approach of doing my hair is always having someone else do it. I will gladly pay an

Last year when I was pregnant, M. and I went on a date night every week. We mainly did it because we knew how much things would change between us when Yoda was born and plus, we do like to go out. Now that Yoda bear is here, our date nights are a bit different. While we haven't actually gone out alone yet, we do find ways to incorporate Yoda
Has it really been almost a month since I last posted? I'm sorry. That sucks.
Between trying to get my writing career back on track and still getting used to this SAHM thing, I've neglected this blog. Bad foxxy. I need to do better.
For a mea culpa, here's a recent photo of Yoda bear:
M. started bringing up the topic of trying again. Ideally, I would love Yoda and his sibling(s)

I'm going to be frank - I'm not looking forward to Mother's Day this year. Or any year, for that matter.
You can't blame me. I was supposed to have a baby in 2012. Instead, I spent 2011 mourning two losses; one being a late-term loss (Ethan).
Being celebrated on Mother's Day when I feel someone is missing is a bit skewed.
I don't know if it'll ever get better, honestly. I
