My [short] stint as a SAHM [stay at home mom]

I went back to work 6 weeks after Ryan was born. I quit when he was 7 months old and started a new job immediately after. But something that’s more than a little awesome? I teach [college] so I have a super long winter break.… about 5 weeks off! Granted, my winter “break” was jam packed with activities, but I was absolutely a SAHM for a month.

It was tough, not gonna lie.

It was so easy to get stuck in a rut – I blame this nasty cold thing

to teach in the best way possible

I started my new job on Monday teaching 4 sections of introductory human biology at a community college (2 classes MWF, 2 classes TTh). I passed out a questionnaire and told the students they didn’t even have to write their name on it because I wasn’t grading it; it was just for my own curiosity. I wanted to know where they were coming from – how much background knowledge they had. I also included some questions like “what’s your favorite area of

Priorities: why I pump at work

Two major articles out right now: The Economic Consequences of Breastfeeding (Wall Street Journal) and Study: Lack of breastfeeding costs lives, billions of dollars (CNN). I’m going to start with the latter.

Nearly 1,000 (991 to be exact) lives and BILLIONS ($13b) of dollars would be saved if women would just breastfeed for the first 6 months of life. This is in the United States alone – yes, we have that

Life and Body After Baby: 8 weeks post-partum

Whew, time flies! First, I want to thank all my readers for sticking around through this New Mom Event. I got wayyy more sponsors than I thought I would and underestimated how long it’d take me to get through all of them (while taking care of a newborn). It seems like all I do is post reviews and giveaways now, but don’t worry… once they’re all over (SOON! promise!), I’ll be back to writing about pregnancy/baby/family, etc. And I can’t wait!
