Exclusive Pumping: Because Fed is Best

Posted on July 15, 2019July 28, 2019 by The Basic Moms

Are you going to breastfeed? You’re going to breastfeed, right? Breast is best. Breast milk is better for the baby than formula. Oh, you’re using formula (insert eeek face here).  Breastfeeding.

Posted on July 9, 2019July 16, 2019 by The Basic Moms

We recently went blueberry picking, here in Houston. My kids love going to the farms and picking fruits or veggies. When we went this time, it was incredibly hot outside so we didn’t last very long. We did come home with a little over nine pounds of blueberries. Which means, this mom has to come…

Jumping in Feet First: A Lesson on Trust

Posted on July 3, 2019July 11, 2019 by The Basic Moms

Another vacation… What was I thinking? Well, I went and did it. Something that I am sure many of us do all too often. What is this “it” you may ask? I had expectations for a family trip. I mean seriously, WHAT WAS I THINKING? After each vacation I always tell myself that I am…

It’s a Girl! {Yes, another one.}

Posted on July 1, 2019July 28, 2019 by The Basic Moms
