Have you ever felt like the odd mom out? I know I have. As a working mom, it's hard to connect with other moms.....and that's probably why I love blogging so much. I've been able to meet and connect with moms who work out of the home, moms who stay home, moms who work from home, and everything in between. But in my day to day life, I do often feel ...

Hi everyone! I'm Claire and I blog over at Casual Claire about marriage, motherhood, recipes, fashion and more. I have a beautiful 13 month old daughter named Maddie Grace who I never planned on breastfeeding - and yet here I am nursing an almost toddler. Funny how life works!    When I found out I was pregnant very few of my ... Read More

Three day weekends rock my socks. We spent the weekend up at my mom's lake house and it was awesome.....mostly because my mom is amazing and took care of us all weekend and I finally got a little rest and relaxation in. Mental note: be just like my mom. And I rocked the "lake look" all weekend....aka had chubby feet and hands, didn't wear ... Read More

Happy Friday my friends!  {one} I took Hudson out on a "date" this week to Build-A-Bear....I was worried it was going to be a disaster and that maybe I was taking him there more for me than for him (which was kind of true). But he LOVED it and had so much fun building his puppy. And he's still talking about it, so I'm quietly ... Read More

How far along? 37 weeks! And an update two weeks in a row...I'm on a roll!  Maternity clothes? Yes.....all day every day. Stretch marks? Not really....but I'm not really checking!  Sleep: Much better than last week. I'm up once or twice to use the restroom but that's it. Best moment this week: Mother's ... Read More

Hello! I’m Whitney from Polka-Dotty Place and I’m excited to share my breastfeeding journey with you. My daughter, Olive, is about to turn two so I figured it was time to document our story. My daughter was full term and I was induced due to high blood pressure issues at 39 weeks. We did skin to skin right away and bonded instantly. ... Read More

Happy Monday friends! Let's talk about pregnancy DENIAL. Because I am suffering big time. 1. I can't believe we are going to have a baby in 3 weeks (or less....hopefully less). Where did the time go? Didn't I just announce I was expecting? Once you hit 30 weeks, it's all down hill from there. 2. If you are wondering why I haven't posted ... Read More

Isn't that a beautiful quote? (source) Let's just let it sink in for a minute. I know so many of you are struggling with "doing it all". Being the perfect mother and wife. Working outside of the home or never finding one second to yourself if you stay home with your kids. Trying to be all the things to all the people all the time. It's rough, ... Read More

Hi friends.  I am Sydney and I blog over at Raising Southern Grace.  I live in Upstate, SC with my husband Luke and our 1 year old son, Griffin. Before Griffin was born, I knew I wanted to breastfeed 100% for at least 9 if not a year.  I knew all the health benefits and knew that being able to breastfeed my son was top on my ... Read More

How far along? 36 weeks (tomorrow)! I haven't posted since 32 weeks...oops! And let me just say this...holy basketball belly!  Maternity clothes? Yep, basically everything is maternity these days. I'm in the maxi dress all day every day stage...so glad that it's finally warm enough! Stretch marks? Not that I can tell? I ... Read More
