The One Thing I Wish Breastfeeding Mothers Would Stop Saying
There’s an epidemic of parental shaming these days. From parents everywhere judging other parents for how they choose to give birth.

It’s time to get real, real you guys. I have been living with an enormous weight on my shoulders for over a year now. I don’t talk about it much, it’s mostly felt lonely at times and that’s pretty much how I wanted it to stay. Do you ever feel that way? Like there are […]
