Breastfeeding is Now Officially, Why Did That Take So Long Again?

August 13, 2018 By Chaunie

Breast feeding legal finally

In news this morning (that should not really be news), we are happy to announce that breastfeeding is now officially legal in all 50 states in the United States, yay! Wait, what? If breastfeeding is now legal in all 50 states, that means that there was a time when breastfeeding wasn’t legal? Apparently, and unfortunately,…

10 Problems Only Breastfeeding Moms Understand

April 19, 2015 By Chaunie

Oh, sure, breastfeeding is a great way to bond with your baby and it’s pretty much liquid gold, but when it comes to the day-to-day realities of what it’s like to feed another human being with your boobs, it ain’t always easy. Case in point: 1. The face grab. Here, Mom, let me explore your…

FREE Breastfeeding Printables

July 30, 2014 By Chaunie

As a labor and delivery nurse, I was very careful to ask my patients if they wanted their baby to have a pacifier.  A lot of parents, especially breastfeeding moms, don’t want their babies to have pacifiers for the fear that it will interfere with the baby’s latch. Totally understandable and totally respectable from the…

The Breastfeeding Myth

August 31, 2012 By Chaunie

I have a love/hate relationship with breastfeeding. Sometimes I hate it. Like when I sit down to nurse and inevitably, the doorbell will ring, or Mya will have to go potty, or the girls will start tearing each other’s hair. Or when I’m in a public place and Jacob refuses to nurse, effectively ensuring a…

10 Miles or Bust

August 20, 2011 By Chaunie

One week. That’s it. One week is all that separates me from the day that my life will change forever. The day I will attempt to run 10 miles. Now before you start thinking that I’m all one of those fit and trim moms, allow me to set the record straight. I am in no…

When Is It My Turn?

April 15, 2011 By Chaunie

Starting my family (albeit not exactly on purpose. ahem) at the ripe old age of twenty one, I’ve heard all the popular lamentations of the benefits of young motherhood: “Oh, you’ll never regret having kids so young,” my co-worker crooned, “Just think of all the fun you’ll have when you’re my age!” Or, “You have…

What Kind of Mother?

April 11, 2011 By Chaunie

I have never rocked my baby to sleep. Are you shocked? Horrified? Disbelieving? Join the club. Since the moment she first laid in my arms, my Mya has resisted any and all of my attempts at snuggling.  I entered the hospital this second time around, dreaming of the sleepy aftermath of birth, when I could…

About Chaunie

Hi, I'm Chaunie and I'm glad you're here! I admit this blog is a bit rusty, as most circa 2010-blogs are, but like us elder millennial moms ourselves, I figure it can still get the job done, am I right? So here's the deal: I'm a mom of five kids, teen to toddler, I've been a writer for about 10 years, mostly penning health articles in exchange for money to pay my bills, but after I was laid off, I decided it was now or never and I'm writing my first novel in a month. And I want you to be part of the process with me. So subscribe and get weekly emails with my latest juicy drafts. It's going to be fun. Read More…
