I've tried blogging before. It never stuck. I see a blank page and long to fill it with the beauty, both ups and downs, of my life and I draw a blank. So hard to put into words. I want to try again with a new focus. I love babies. I love mothering. And I love helping other women who have just entered into that journey. I won't pretend to know all the answers. I have three children - two 4 year olds and one 18 month old - so my hands on experience is limited to those age groups. My advice will center on fertility, schedules, sleeping, feeding, and breast feeding.
Oh how I love nursing my babies and I miss it as soon as they are officially weaned. Breast feeding is one of the hardest yet most rewarding (and sadly, controversial) things a woman can do for her children. I long to share my heart with women who are struggling, are less than encouraged, are given false information.....all of these describe far too many new mamas.
For now, just hello. As you find my blog, please pass it along to someone who might benefit from some encouragement. This is a safe place to ask questions - none will be ignored.
My husband and I have been married for over 6 years, together for 12. We fell in love in German class in high school where my German namesake was Anja and he was Karl. This is my little spot on the internet where I want to share my heart and my experiences - along with some personal snapshots into my life. Thanks for visiting.
