Surviving Postpartum Depression

July 29, 2015 By Erin Bowling

Surviving Postpartum Depression

I struggled with Postpartum Depression (or Perinatal Mood Disorder) from the time my daughter was 5 weeks old. At first, I wasn’t convinced that I had a real problem; I just thought that I was bad at being a mom and I needed to buck up and get used to it. Thankfully, my husband encouraged […]

When to End Breastfeeding?

July 6, 2015 By Erin Bowling

When to End Breastfeeding?

When I was pregnant, I had lofty goals about exclusively breastfeeding. I was prepared for it to be difficult, but I had imagined that difficulty would mostly just be sore nipples.

Flexible Parenting

February 24, 2015 By Anna Bradley

Flexible Parenting

Before my 6-week-old son, Jasper, was even conceived, he was already teaching me one of the most valuable lessons of my life so far. It took my husband and me nearly three years to finally welcome our first child, and it wasn’t until two years into that process that I received the insight I needed […]

Gifts in Pregnancy Can Include Autonomy

January 8, 2015 By Erin Bowling

Gifts in Pregnancy Can Include Autonomy

When you become pregnant, you immediately surrender your personal autonomy to some degree. My body’s primary purpose at the moment is to nurture and protect my baby, without ceasing, until I deliver. And that’s okay! Most of the time, the things that are best for baby, like a nutritious diet and regular exercise, are also […]
