Breastfeeding MommaIf you are breastfeeding and you are getting the,  “Are you still breastfeeding??!!!” From friends and family,  then this is for you. I am still breastfeeding, not all day but morning and night. He doesn’t like milk so needed to make sure he was still getting the best nutrients my body could give him. The thing is, why am I even making an excuse? Isn’t it the most natural of foods and drink that I can give my child? I’m a world full of so many unnatural. Why did God even give us this ability to produce, if not to be used? This part of the article below is exactly my point when I try to explain why I am still going. I don’t understand how breastfeeding after 6 months became so taboo for our culture. It’s what we did from the beginning of time because it worked and it still does. Let’s stop judging one side or the other. Feeding our babies is best! So if this is how I am choosing to feed, please leave me alone just like you would a formula-fed baby. Thank you🙏🏽The best part;Breastfeeding after the first birthdayIf your toddler is continuing to breastfeed, congratulations. Extended nursing (breastfeeding beyond the first year) isn’t for everyone, but it brings plenty of benefits.Even though your child now gets most of her nutrition from solid food, breast milk provides calories, vitamins, enzymes, and valuable immunities. Studies have even shown that breastfed toddlers get sick less often.Contrary to popular belief in the U.S., breastfeeding past 12 months of age does not make kids overly dependent. Nursing creates a strong bond and provides emotional support that encourages independence and self-confidence.

What are your thoughts?

Where are you?

WHERE ARE YOU?

You’ve been gone for 2 hours to run an errand that only takes 30 minutes.

You only said you would do one thing and be right back but here you go again like we doing a playback.

I’ve been here before, waiting up at night wondering where you are. I’ve been here before wondering if you are just sleeping or got hit by a car.

Do you know how hard it is to be in my shoes?
No you don’t, because I never put you there.
Do you know what it is to worry for me?
No you don’t because I’m always where I say I will be.

Well here we are again, me here, you wherever you are. Me waiting and hopefully you not cheating on me. Why should I even be asking myself this? Why is this even a thought? Oh yea, you’ve done it before, so my heart tells my thoughts you arent my safe place anymore.

I hope wherever you are you are well and no worries Ive got the kids, I always will put them first. Maybe thats why you know you can, and know you can leave us here. Unfortunately, one day my patience and tears will run dry, and my heart will will take flight.

Its then, you will not know where I am. Maybe thats what it will take for you to finally understand. 

Then it will be too late.

Where are you?

MOM I NEVER KNEW

Wilda Duprey Just a mom appreciation post.

Before being a mom, I never knew how much you did. I never knew how much you tried, or how much you may have cried.

Before being a mom myself, I never knew how little you gave yourself and how much you sacrificed for us, so that we could learn to live ourselves.

Before being a mom, I could have never known why you were so tough, so strict, or so pushy. I never knew it all had a purpose so that we would live and love with purpose.

Before being a mom, I never knew how much it all cost of you, or why you missed some things. I couldn’t imagine until now what missing it did to you, what guilt you must have felt amongst all other things.

Before being a mom, I never understood why our need to go to church meant so much to you. Then I became a mom and realized faith is all I need to get through.

Please don’t take this as blame, yet please let to any shame. For one thing you should never live with is that, in fact, you should live a life of fame.

Fame for what you did. Fame for what you didn’t even know you did. Fame for making it through and making it seem effortless. Fame for doing so much and for doing it all without me ever knowing it at all.

Thanking you because I never knew.

Love Lisandra ❤️

Night

Are you more of a night or morning person?

I am definitely a night person. 🌙 I totally prefer to start my day later in the day rather than the crack of dawn. My children are so used to this, they have coffee ready for me before they wake me up. Interesting enough, I never truly had the luxury to be a sleep in type. I’ve always worked jobs that require a 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. start. Shoot, and after becoming a mom, that dream of ever getting more than 6 hours of sleep gets thrown out a window, into a moving garbage truck and went far, far, far, far…away. 😆
