Crunchy mama loading… As I try to make the healthier switches in the physical sense, I must also make healthy switches mentally. Though the mental and physical definitely pair, you still need to put in the work to be better mentally and raise your children properly. And thus, I’m bullying myself to read more parenting…

reading life update
This is what my reading life looks like, with a few board books thrown into the mix to liven things up. Also, I started using this tallow lotion as nipple cream and it’s amazing. It’s perfect for any [sorta] crunchy breastfeeding or pumping mamas. I’m currently reading (and will be reading into the month of…
