Intro

I’m not sure if I will be any good at this or if it will be helpful to anyone. Reservations aside, I’m hoping to share things I’ve learned either first hand or through friends, books and other resources.  These are things I wish I knew or I’m glad someone shared with me.  These are my experiences, failures and successes in my journey through pregnancy and motherhood as a nursing (breastfeeding) nurse (RN) who loves the outdoors, crafting/DIYing, indie music and fashion. I’m a self-proclaimed fashionista in the practical look good- feel good without breaking the bank sense.  You won’t find the hottest NY/LA runway styles here.  I don’t do Walmart but I LOVE recycling and consignment shopping. My mantra for motherhood/parenting is pretty much what I strive for in everyday life. Instead of comparing yourself or competing with whatever is going on in Hollywood or social media or with the “Joneses”, just try to be the best YOU. Being the perfect mommy (or wife or friend or employee etc) means knowing your limits, doing your very best, and embracing the flaws that come with being a real live human. Love, laugh, live and let live.  Cliché, but words I live by.
