In Jan ‘22, with my newborn back home being taken care of by family, I was sitting in the hospital with my pump, desperately trying to keep up my supply after being told my 2yo had cancer. I couldn’t eat without getting sick, my body was in such shock I hurt all over. And almost immediately my supply dwindled down to nothing. I tried to pump and was getting about 1oz each time. Even so I was pumping, storing in the hospital fridge and having family members come pick it up to take to Haddie. I was told that whenever she drank the milk I was sending from the hospital, she was screaming after. I found out later you can actually pass stress hormones through breastmilk and I don’t doubt that’s what was happening.

It became obvious that putting her on formula was the best option, and she continued to thrive and grow and live her best healthy little life on formula.

After breastfeeding her brothers for 16 months each, my breastfeeding relationship with Haddie was just another casualty of many that cancer brought to our life.

Months after weaning, it suddenly hit me that I should have saved some breastmilk. I’d had keepsake jewelry made when I weaned Nash, and with the abrupt and sad ending of nursing Haddie, I so badly wanted something to hold onto that commemorated that short and special time. I thought about it multiple times a week. Just wishing I’d saved one little container.

Months later again, as we prepared another house move I was emptying an old bag out and saw it- a tiny little 1oz bottle of milk I had pumped. It had sat in a bag for over a year, unopened, unrefrigerated, and somehow it’s FINE (isn’t breastmilk crazy?!) Fine is relative, of course I mean not a solid block of mold and not that it’s fit for consumption lol.

It felt like one of many God winks I’ve gotten this year, just a little reminder that He knows and cares for my smallest desires.

I’m sharing- firstly because many women have had painful or unexpected weaning experiences and I know can relate. Secondly because 🤓 can you believe how cool breastmilk is? And lastly, can you please tag or share your fave recs for breastmilk jewelry businesses? I really want to make something special ❤️

My biannual reminder that the original proposal for DST was made by an entomologist who wanted more time to hunt bugs during daylight hours.

Thanks George. Makes sense that every parent change their child's sleep schedule every 6 months for that 👍🏻

How's DST going at your house this morning?

Coming in today with a grainy photo and a reminder of phases in motherhood.

There have been many phases where we all slept much better when we slept separately. And now we are in a phase where we are sleeping better together.

I have always been a light sleeper and typically, the best way to get good uninterrupted sleep for me has been to have nothing touching me or I’d lie awake for hours.

Now I don’t sleep very well in general these days, but after our most recent 8-day hospital stay a couple months ago, when he stumbles to our room- although I could live without the initial wake up and search for the lovey, smoothing of the pillow etc- I ease into sleep just a little bit deeper with his fuzzy bald head within kissing distance.

One day, we will both sleep better apart again.

None of these phases are bad or good. The way we sleep is morally neutral and different for every family and every situation.

But if you’re in a phase, don’t worry. You can enter a new phase when it serves you. But if the phase you’re in serves you now, whether you are optimizing your sleep by stretching out in bed on your own and getting an 8 uninterrupted hours because it helps you to be the best parent to your kids when they are awake, or whether one or both or all of you are craving extra contact at night, enjoy your phase ❤️

Pass it on 🗣️

This is one of my favorite Mother Teresa quotes. Holidays can be stressful, and it’s so easy to get caught up in the details. Cleaning, cooking, taking on all the other projects/crafts/decorating/special touches that we had envisioned.

But in the midst of all the busyness and preparations, if you find yourself overwhelmed, take a deep breath and remember. I don’t do this because I have to, because it’s expected of me, out of fear of judgment or because I want to post the perfect picture on Instagram. I do this out of love for my family. I do this out of love for those that I’m serving.

I hope you and your families have a wonderful Thanksgiving ❤️

On the blog today- Creative Ways to Help Your Child Take Medicine!

I have had this one in drafts for quite a while. As a cancer mom, I’ve learned a lot of tips and tricks over the past year and always pass them along when I see new cancer moms struggling with meds. But when I saw that there is an anticipated amoxicillin shortage on the news, and realized many parents this sick season would likely be handed antibiotics in pill form to give to their kids, I thought this could be a helpful and timely post to put out. 💊 Please let me know if you have any ideas that would be helpful to add to the blood and share with your mama friends this sick season!

In the blog I cover ideas to help kiddos with medicine taste/texture, crushing and dissolving pills, techniques for administering, breathing treatments and more. You can read it at my link in bio!

This is NOT medical advice, just mom-to-mom tips for when it’s 10pm and you’re staring down the barrel of a medicine syringe at your crying kiddo.

What are your best tips and tricks for giving medication? Drop them below! 👇🏼

We are at home this year due to passing a cold around and Nash’s immune system, but I had to at least get Haddie dressed up for her first Easter! 🐣

Happy Easter to all who celebrate and your families 🤍

Take what you need mamas. You have permission to…

🌟 Feel content with your family’s sleep situation. Even if it doesn’t look like others’ or how you’ve heard it “should” look like.
🌟Allow the other parent in your house to take over. Even one solid night of sleep in the midst of a tough time can be a game changer.
🌟Make changes. If your current habits are no longer serving you, there are always ways to make changes in a way that fits your child’s temperament and your parenting style.
🌟Be in survival mode. You don’t have to be content and you don’t have to change anything either. You can accept survival mode until you’re ready to be proactive.
🌟Ask for help. With sleep or otherwise.
🌟Feel zero guilt. Remember sleep is not a moral issue and it’s not an indication of your worth as a parent. Whatever your personal choices surrounding sleep, feel proud that you’re doing the best for your family with zero guilt!
