finding beauty, confidence, and rest in motherhood
The great thing about wool is that you can start building your stash slowly. I don’t know many mamas who begin with wool – most are using another cloth diapering system and slowly add or transition to wool. To turn your baby into a woolie baby you’ll need 2 pieces – a cloth component with […]
Years ago I picked up crocheting and knitting … alas, it was short lived, but I learned enough to know how amazing Nana’s Knickers wool shorties are! Jemma has been loving her adorable little orange knickers and I appreciated the thorough washing instructions that were included! Here’s a little more about Nana’s Knickers … We […]
When we first decided to cloth diaper I was set on creating our whole stash with one type of diaper. It seemed to be the easiest way to stay organized – same washing instructions, same inserts, same everything. Although I don’t regret going heavy in one direction of cloth diapering – now, a year in, […]

Jemma’s first birthday didn’t ease me into the baby-to-toddler transition well. For some reason, it passed with so much happiness and celebration that I never stopped to connect that she isn’t a baby anymore. What has made me realize her toddlerhood is this nursing upset. It’s thrown me into an emotional tizzy. My baby isn’t […]
Yep, that’s right. We are on day 5 of this nursing strike :( Thank you so much for your sweet comments and encouragement on my initial post. It’s been a rough road and I’m still unsure where/when it will end. I’ve talked quite a bit with my amazing La Leche League lactation consultant and we’ve […]
