I created this blog when I was a little more than halfway through my pregnancy, with the goal of sharing news of my life with friends and family all over Canada and the world. Now that Lil' Ziggy is here, I'm hoping to start writing not only updates on his growth, but other posts about my home and lifestyle. My first step in that direction is this series on cloth diapers! Much like my birth ...
Breastfeeding: my struggles and triumphs… and how YOU can support new moms
I think #1 on the Mommy War stage is breastfeeding. This post is not about slamming moms who choose to formula feed or cannot breastfeed for whatever reason. This is simply a post about my breastfeeding journey and how we can and should better support moms who wish to breastfeed.

While I'll try to avoid the grossest details of my birth for the sake of family members who don't need to know about my vagina, there will be some TMI shared in this post. Also, even though my baby has a real name, and that name is not Lil' Ziggy, I will still refer to him as Lil' Ziggy, ...
A Little Break for Little Ziggy
Hi everyone, Lil' Ziggy arrived on Sunday afternoon! He is adorable. We're all at home now and doing well (as well as new parents and a new baby can be, anyway!). Thank you all for the support and I'll be posting his birth story when I have enough energy :). Monica ...
