I am a mommy to three beautiful children my oldest being five and youngest five months. I have changed lots of diapers in my life time and it is one area I really dislike.

Cloth Diaper Organization At Its Best
| February 16, 2012 | Posted by Amee under Birth and Baby, Cloth Diapering |
I am an organized person or at least I make attempts at it, but recently my cloth diaper stash started to invade my bedroom. It bugged me to have piles of clean diapers all over my bedroom floor or have them still hang from the indoor clothes line. At first, I put the diapers in wicker baskets on the shelves of my changing table, but as my collection of cloth diapers grew this area became overflowed. I… more

I started my day like any other with cleaning, cooking, laundry, cuddling and playing with my three children. That morning my world froze in a moment of time: thank God for guardian angels.

Cosleeping is a perfect option for a mother who wants to keep their new baby close to them. I coslept with my two older children until they were nearly a year old. Even now they often end up in our bed at some point during the night.

| January 16, 2012 | Posted by Amee under Birth and Baby, Family |
Who needs a pediatrician anyway? Last Thursday was one of my first days I was alone with all three kids since I gave birth to Ayla in early December. My husband was at work in a meeting, and as dinner time approached, I laid Ayla in her bouncy chair so I could prepare food for the family. As I sautéed the garlic and onions for our meal, I heard Keira,… more
Is it in the Jeans or the Genes?
| January 3, 2012 | Posted by Amee under Birth and Baby |
Just a little over three weeks ago I gave birth to my third baby Ayla. It was a beautiful birth and a wonderful experience. I noticed since giving birth how quickly I was shrinking in comparison to my previous two pregnancies. So, I hopped on the scale, and could not believe my eyes! I was only four pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight. I wondered “How did this happen so… more
