A Momma's Life

I am not a first-time mom, but there are times when I feel like one.  There's a lot of things that I still don't know, mommy things that I am not confident of.  Or maybe things I have forgotten- pregnancy brain and mommy brain are for real, I swear!  I turn to mommy friends for advice and compare notes with them.  Topics vary from breastfeeding, to our reviews about baby and mommy products, to babywearing, sleep training, and to all things motherhood related.
