Faith, French Aromatherapy, Motherhood & Health Truth | John 3:14-17 14And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. 16For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
5 years ago when 19-year-old-me decided that I had to get Oils into our home, I weighed my options. I looked at all the kits available, I looked at retail vs. wholesale, & I compared prices. (This was months after I went from being very skeptical that oils worked even in the slightest, to a… Continue reading The best way to get started
"Lifestyle photography is a kind of photography which mainly aims to capture portrait/people in situations, real-life events or milestones in an artistic manner and the art of the everyday.

When Kyzer was newborn, the support I received from my local LLL, my personal BFing peer-counselor, & friends/family was vital to the existence of my breastfeeding journey. Life was hard for my boobs in the beginning. Literally and figuratively. Mastitis, Thrush (that lasted longer than any other case ever heard of according every dr I… Continue reading BFing moms.. Why is no one talking about this?
I've always been a caring person. I've always been anxious. If you're at my house and you leave, you can put money on me telling you to be safe/careful/put your seatbelt on. Ask my best friends- I've always been the "mom" of the group. The one that makes sure everyone is fed and pays… Continue reading How I nearly drove myself insane in the first year of my baby’s life

He wasn't fully awake, and the last 3 weeks have proven that he is fully capable of going back to sleep on his own. I didn't *need* to go into his… Continue reading When will be the last time?
BACK STORY: Let me start by saying my kiddo has slept in our bed from the time he was a month old, and he LOVES nursing.

It's like come the end of January or the beginning of February it's not necessarily "New Years" anymore and people lose sight… Continue reading Why I don’t make new year resolutions and what I do instead
Recently I read a quote that said "you can't pour from an empty cup" and it really got me thinking. Originally today while I was thinking of writing this post, my intentional audience was fellow stay at home moms, but really this can apply to anyone. It's a simple concept, if there's nothing in the… Continue reading You can’t pour from an empty cup
Breastfeeding is down right incredible. I mean, you're giving your child the best nutrition possible-and you're MAKING the milk within your breasts!
