Breastfeeding week

Another post of Breastfeeding! Sorry!

I will personally say I am not against Breastfeeding, I encourage it to those who are for it but, I also encourage Formula Feeding.

I fed baby is Best! 

As a Mother You personally do no like others telling you how to parent and this includes how a child is feed. So Please do not go out of your way to say a rude comment or bash a mother or parents. You do not live in their shoes. You can only see what is on the outside!

We are going to talk about Registries! Are you confused on what you need? Are you overwhelmed with making a registry? Are you not sure what items should be on your registry? Let me break it to you, Put whatever you want on your registry! I told one friend i was nervous to put a Mamaroo on my registry because I didn’t want to get my hopes about possibly getting the Mamaroo, Well I took her advice to add this item on my registry and I got it. I was SO Excited. It was the first baby item i set up after our baby shower!

After my baby shower, I had some family friends stay longer and visit. A few commented that my registry was really the essentials! I felt good knowing I didn’t look greedy nor did it look overwhelming! I did have 2 registries. I would highly recommend looking into Baby a registry with Amazon, Buybuy Baby, Target and if your worried about prices make a registry with The Baby List!

The Journey Begins

Thanks for joining me! I would like to Introduce myself. My name is Ashley, in November 2016 I became a Military Wife and April 2018 I became a Mom! High school help me get out of my shell, I learned how to Welcome anyone opened arm no matter their background! This trait as you might call it, Helped me make some awesome friends in the Military life. Some have moved on to other posts, moved back home and are still on the same posts!

So enough about me, Time to start kicking off what this blog will be about! I want to reach out to those who are scared about this lifestyle . I want to let you know this lifestyle can very awesome with doing nothing but taking a walk and saying “Hello”.
Getting to know your base is really key! Yes, we all know posts of something called the “Spouses Page”  on facebook. Those maybe filled with drama and opinions but it also can be a huge help for you! If you are moving from your hometown or just moving posts reaching out to other wives who are already there can lead to friendships and also mentors!

 

I am going to stop here. Hope you will follow me on my blogging journey!
~Ashley
