Hi, I’m Katie!

Mom to Lawless and Felix, and wife to the love of my life, James, I’m a software sales executive with a passion for fact finding and truth seeking. As a working mom, I don’t have perfectly coordinated, matching, family outfits for every day of the week, or a constantly sunny, agreeable disposition. I cuss a lot, I drink wine, and generally tell it like it is.

When I became pregnant with my first little nugget, Lawless, my eyes were opened to the mounds of conflicting information, options, and outside opinions associated with parenting.

The purpose of this blog is to house and share the endless research that I put into making decisions for my family and myself in hopes that I can save other mamas time and provide not only my opinions, but links to evidence based research.

From choosing who to birth with, how to birth my babies, learning how to breastfeed and feed an infant and toddler, and taking care of myself, I don’t tend to just take an AAP recommendation and keep it moving.  I want to get to the truth and weigh my options for the best possible outcomes. 

This motherhood shit is not for the faint of heart.  You will feel guilty at every turn.  You will simultaneously miss your baby while he’s sleeping, and want to put him in a basket and set him out to sea, Moses style.  You will second guess yourself daily.  I’m right there with you.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you’ll stay a while!
