Tips like what to pack in your diaper bag or what you should never leave the house with out, but no one mentioned anything about lotion. No, not baby lotion, I’m talking lotion for mommy, a necessity no one seems to mention! It’s so important to have clean hands and sterilize everything for an infant.

But this mother’s day will be different … forever. Since Adaline entered the world exactly 2 weeks ago, my life has been turned upside down, for the best, but nonetheless upside down. Restless nights, baby brain to the max, a very messy home, loads of laundry, lots of dirty diapers and a whole lot of pumping and feeding.
