  Thank you to Philips AVENT for providing me with the following product, free of charge, in exchange for this review.  All opinions are 100% my own. I know I've been fairly lucky when it comes to nursing.  While I did struggle with our first and my milk dried up when she was 6 months old, I have been able to successfully breastfeed the rest of our children longer, anywhere from 14 to 18 months.  Now, baby number five is going strong at 6 months old. Coming up soon, I will be leaving Read more [...]

  Thank you to Rockin' Baby for providing me with the following product, free of charge, in exchange for this review.  All opinions are 100% my own. I love to wear our kids.  I have found so many benefits to baby wearing that if I forget to bring a carrier with me for a day, I'm completely lost!  With five young children, freeing up my hands by wearing our infant is extra important.  I still remember the time I was pregnant with number 4 and forgot my carrier.  Our son, who was Read more [...]
