If you’re a new mommy, enjoy thrillers, data, and your own baby (I hope this is the case) then I’ve got two great, but completely different types of recommendations for you today.

Five Books to Read This Summer
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve posted here, huh? How long can I blame it on the baby without looking lazy and neglectful of my own blog? A year? Cool!
OK SOoOO!! the last book I felt driven enough to post about was Tara Westover’s Educated back in April. Since then, I’ve finished close to 20 other books… which means lot’s of posts to come. However, they currently live in my head, and until I put pen to paper (or errrm fingers to keyboard?) here are a few that you don’t want to miss this summer.
…Flying Solo with an Infant: What I’ve Learned

So I finally gave it a go and I’m thrilled I did… here are my thoughts and why I recommend this shocking and gripping and horror story.

Our Breastfeeding Journey
This post is going to be deeply personal and will be a huge overshare, but breastfeeding is a beast, getting started feels impossible, and I feel very passionate about sharing openly and honestly about my experience so far. Every baby is different, and no one will have the same set of obstacles that we did, however, my hope is that maybe this post will help a new momma or a momma-to-be. As a word of encouragement. Or not to feel so alone with their own struggle.
