To Breastfeeding

 

 

 

Oh, breastfeeding!

We’ve made it one year

Through pain, ease, and nutrition

Let’s give a cheer

 

But I’m done now, I’m through

I shrunk while my baby grew

Goodbye my boobs, goodbye my bum

It wasn’t always easy, it wasn’t always fun

 

Oh breastfeeding, I will miss the close bond

But when baby cried at night, it was me who always had to respond

I won’t miss the hair pulling nor biting nor leaking 

Now it is time for my baby to learn independent feeding

 

I want to throw the pump away

I promise it will be okay

I want to wear any type of clothes I want

So I won’t have to worry how to nurse in a restaurant

 

Oh breastfeeding, I thank you

But my body is now mine again

At least for the time being

To part ways with you is very freeing

For our daughter’s seventh birthday, she requested a LEGO-themed party. She’s always enjoyed playing with building blocks and was asking for several LEGO sets as gifts. A LEGO birthday party is an easy theme that’s perfect for many ages to enjoy.

Preschool Behavior Reward Chart

As we are about to embark on our homeschool preschool journey, I knew I needed a system to incentivize my three-year-old. After a lot of research and time spent looking at different types of behavior reward charts, I narrowed down the behaviors I knew I wanted my daughter to focus on the most. From there, I created my own preschool behavior reward chart featuring a two-tier reward system. The chart as well as the reward coupons are FREE to download below (no sign-up required!) and are also customizable.
