I wrote this like a year ago on MWG… Also, let me say what AP’ing means to me. It is not a checklist “I co-sleep, check, I have my trusty official ‘AP Certified Mom Sling’, check, I breastfeed, check…” but it is a philosophy that when you bring a baby into this world, your life… Continue reading What AP is to me…

I actually wanted to share a story that happened just yesterday where I was amazed in the very… Continue reading Medicinal Kisses
