About Me

Hi,
I’m a mom of two boys born in 2012 and 2015.

In this blog I have written extensively about my experiences as I explored, learnt and stumbled along the way trying to be as natural a mamma as possible in todays modern world with regards to food, breastfeeding, baby wearing, cloth diapering, potty training etc.

This blog was written to inspire parents to ditch conventional wisdom and trust their instincts (and their children’s) over books, doctors, and even blogs like these 😉 Feel free to explore the tons of content on here.

Now it’s going to take on a new direction as I explore my own interests as a woman with kids who are growing and fast. Join me on my journey !
