The Best Pre-Packed Hospital Bag + A Hospital Bag Checklist From A Second Time Mom

I am just about 37 weeks pregnant, measuring at 39 weeks, and feel like baby boy is arriving any day now! When I started to put together my hospital bag checklist a few weeks ago, I was honestly a little overwhelmed. It has been over 8 years since I last gave birth after all. And that was before the ...

Kid’s Summer Camping Checklist

Now that my son is getting older, we have started asking him to pack his own backpack for what he will need for camping! This has been an easy way for us to start only bringing what we really need. If he has to carry his own supplies and gear, he won't be over-packing! Over the years we have been ...

DIY Beeswax Food Wraps

I was first introduced to the amazing reusable beeswax food wraps at a craft fair about 8 or 9 years ago and have been hooked ever since. I cut down on waste, money, and I have to say they look rather cute! They replace single-use plastic wrap or foil and are a really cute gift, too! But over the ...

Affordable Serving Pieces Every Hostess Should Have

It took several years to acquire a decent collection of serverware, and I still have my eye on a few pieces. It won't happen over night (unless your budget allows, of course). The trick is to write down a piece you have been wanting and then make sure to look for sales, check out thrift stores, and ...

Glacier National Park Engagement Shoot

Nate and I had our engagement shoot last July (2018) right after he proposed. (check out that post here) But so much has changed and happened since then!

Have you ever heard of a nursing strike ? I had no Have you ever heard of a nursing strike ? I had not until I experienced this with Theo the past 2 days 😩 He refused to nurse for over 40 hours and I have been an absolute mess. He would be screaming one minute, happy as a clam the next. Waking up at 4 AM and not napping all day & would push me away and scream every time I tried to nurse him. I was in so much pain and beyond engorged. I tried pumping every few hours and the first day that worked just fine but then today my milk just would not let down and it took 45 minutes to get just over 2 ounces of milk! Last night he did finally take a bit from a sippy cup of my milk and was eating purees and snacks like normal, but just would not nurse. I called his Dr. yesterday and she had no idea what it could be. I was afraid I was going to get mastitis or that my milk would dry up or that there was something really seriously wrong with me or with Theo. I was texting my best friend just utterly exhausted and frustrated and at my wits end. 
Then around 2:00 just 15 minutes after I texted her to vent, I tried ONE more time to nurse him and he nursed!! I cried happy tears and thanked Jesus over and over. 
I never got to breastfeed my first, so this has been an all new journey with Theo. Lately nursing seemed to be getting more difficult and I was getting a bit burnt out with it- being the only one that can feed him and that he still wakes 3+ times a night to nurse... but I will never take it for granted again. What a blessing it is to be able to nurse. I am so tired I could cry again just typing this out😭 
After trying EVERYTHING it suggested to do online, he finally nursed and I can breathe again. I have no idea what was wrong, but he's nursing again normally and took nice long nap this afternoon πŸ™ 
Anyone experience anything like this before ?
