My baby girl is 10th months old, and I was able to breastfeed her thanks to your article (The Breastfeeding Mom’s Guide To Latch)

I have inverted nipples and I couldn’t breastfeed her until she was 2 months old and when I finally did it, it was the most beautiful achievement in my life.

I am so proud of me and her, and I am also thankful for my milk and my body! I stopped producing milk 2 days ago… So, it is the end. The whole experience means a lot for me. I miss those moments… and if I was able to accomplish it it was thanks to your guide.

Thank you very much! You helped us!

Rachel's 11 ways to make mornings easier

I’ve asked around, and the #1 thing most moms seem to want help with is making their mornings easier and I can relate! So many articles and posts out there will tell moms to wake up a “few” minutes earlier so they can get done more in the morning… REALLY?! We get so little sleep as it is! What mom can sacrifice ANY sleep? I can’t! So here’s my 11 tips for how you can make your mornings run a bit more smoothly, get the kids out the door, keep your sanity, and NOT sacrifice any more sleep!

Thank goodness for spring!! It's gorgeous out and we couldn't be happier! All of us - including our fur babies Lily and Daisy! #AD .
Since we are social distancing, we are spending extra time outdoors in our backyard playing in the flowers and bushes. Its beautiful and loads of fun, but ticks and fleas are very real! .
Without the right protection against fleas and ticks from @PetArmor Plus, our furbabies could get real sick and maybe even spread fleas around the house! Can you imagine! EEWW. Our pets depend on us to protect them! #YouAreYourPetsArmor .
We have been using Pet Armor Plus for years and love it! It's effective, a great value compared to other brands, vet-quality, and so easy to use! What more could you ask for?? .

I'm so inspired by those of you who have replied to my stories to share that you are staying home. .
I've been tracking this virus for some time and let me say, it scares the @$&$$#!! out of me. .
This thing is still so new and it's spreading so fast. .
So many people are being affected by this every day - either because they are getting sick or because they are out of work. Then there are all the heros on the front lines who continue to save lives at the risk of their own life because they don't have enough protective gear. .
Please do your part. Please stay home. I know it's a change in routine. I know it's an inconvenience. I know it can be hard to work from home (if you are lucky enough to do that) and watch the kids at the same time...but lives are at stake. .
And to those who replied to my stories that I haven't replied to yet. I'm sorry. It's been hectic. I saw your message and I promise to reply ASAP. Your message means a lot to me. .
Stay safe. Stay home. .
And follow @lizdean for information. She's one of the first people I could talk to about this and has been on top of the longest!

To all my social-distancing mom's... How are you doing?
.
We are taking it day by day and haven't left the house in days. .
This whole experience is making me so thankful that we are ready but also so thankful that I've been organizing the house, that we are fairly minimalistic (for a family with kids) and that our rooms are all very intentional, relaxing and generally a good calm place!
.
Clutter and mess stresses me out. It's definitely a part of having kids and can't be avoided completely but with a little planning, you can minimize the mess a bit and make clean up time so much easier!
.

Omg... What is going on???
.
Social distancing right now is absolutely key - if not to keep you healthy, than to help avoid you getting someone else really sick!
.
So that's what we've been doing and we have been preparing for this for quite some time. .
I've immereed myself in all the info and data that I could get my hands on and I think we are ready food wise but who really knows what's to come. .
The kids have been home 100% since Thursday and they are already so stir crazy despite how much time we are spending outdoors. .
So we had a talk - about what's going on, why we are keeping to ourselves and what our day to day will be like. .
I didn't want to scare them but I always wanted them to know that this wasn't the time to be insane and trash the house. I hope I handled it well They have been extra hyper. .
I think they must be picking up in my stress level so it's time for me to get that in check so they can relax. .
How are you holding up?
