The Best Breastfeeding Products for New Moms ~ Voted on Facebook!
Hey Ladies! It’s Mariah, here again sharing some of the best breastfeeding products with you today! I’ve been breastfeeding my little man for 11 months now. It’s been quite the adventure, but I’ve learned a lot and come across some really great products along the way. However, with this being my first baby, I’m DEFINITELY NOT an expert on the subject.

5 Best Places to Buy Maternity Clothes
So, let’s just put this out there… I’m currently pregnant with my 7th child and it was a total surprise. I had actually given away all of my maternity clothes that I had collected on my 6-baby-way. I really, really thought I was done! But, God had something else in mind for me. This little girl coming my way is meant to be and we can’t wait to meet her. There are actually 7 kids in my family and 7 in my husband’s family, so it’s kind of fun to carry on the tradition. We love big families!
Anyway, back to my point. Maternity clothes. I’ve bought sooooo many over the past 15 years and now I’m buying them all over again.

Thoughts on Infertility (she: Holly)
Thoughts on Infertility: Since infertility in any form is a sensitive subject, I feel I need to give a disclaimer that the information I’m about to share is from MY point of view.
