The Teal Pumpkin Project is growing! I first read about The Teal Pumpkin Project a few years ago when I was researching candy options for my child who has food allergies. It was eye-opening and exciting to learn about a way to identify houses in which the ‘Tricks or Treats’ included non-food related treats for kids! 

I have breastfed forever... over 70 months and counting.  If you think for one second that I have completed this momentous milestone without wine, then you do not know me at all. Another hypothetical question: How you think I keep getting pregnant?

Duh. WINE.   (Oh – and my husband is incredibly good looking.)

There are no sudden increased risk factors after 24 hours.  There is not a medical emergency needing a c-section.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with the body that does not start labor immediately after the water has broken naturally.

The term ‘Complications’ umbrellas so many possibilities when it comes to labor.  As a mother, giving birth is already scary enough, but if you hear the doctor label your labor it can mentally throw you off and hinder your birth plan.

Before becoming parents to a human baby, many couples are mom and dad to a furbaby. Typically, this furry, four-legged animal has been placed on quite the pedestal over some long period of time. Bringing home a newborn can present a lot of worry for the expecting family.

Did you know that breastfeeding for 2 years or more significantly lowers the chance of having cancer later in life? Yep.  It’s amazing how our bodies work.  It’s as if we were meant to birth babies AND FEED THEM.  Crazy.
