First time apart
This is the first time my son is spending time away from me... 3 weeks. I'm overwhelmed, lost, and broken hearted. I'm not use to the awkward silence without the baby. He's not crawling up my leg when I do the dishes. I was able to use the restroom alone. My mornings are boring... Along with the rest of my day. My nights are lonely cus I nobody to cuddle. I miss my son so much. It's only the second day, will this get easier. I'm scared of losing my bond with him. What if he's not my baby anymore when he comes back? Its becoming depressing. I'm not hungry but I got light headed so I made myself eat. I'm tired, didn't sleep too good. Anyways... I can do this. What to do... What to do... Hop on my sewing machine? I need to leave my phone alone and let my sons father have his daddy time. Oh but boredom keeps sinking in! Ugh!!!!

Breast Feeding- Mission to Quit Day 2
Well Joshua is 9 months old. I knew this day would come and I wanted to ween him. However, I feel overwhelmed that I won't have that bond with him anymore. Joshua is spending 3 weeks with his daddy. It's been one day since he has been in Georgia, I'm in Michigan, and I have been lost. His daddy time was much needed and over due I will admit but I didn't think this was how I would ween my son. It makes me sad and I'm still pumping cus my boobs hurt. However on an up side of the whole situation. I was told Joshua has taken to the formula like he loved it and was drinking it all along. It grosses me out... formula stinks. :(

This is the greatest idea ever! I love surprises and I love Fluff mail. I ordered 2 different packages by Kissed by the Moon. The only way I could think of reviewing the packages and the items is to break it all down individually.
The First one I ordered was the Accessories Only Mystery Fluff. I was very excited to see what I got. I could not be happier! I am in love with the wet bag. Its by Kangacare. The print is called Preppy. It said that it holds up to 15 diapers but I really think it will hold more. The wet bag has a handle on the top so you can hang it on a door or maybe a bed post. It's made very well. If I had to choose between this wet bag and my planet wise size small... I couldn't. I received a sample of Sheepish grins wool soap bar sample. I am sorry to say that I don't have any wool but it gives me an excuse to go shopping :) The last thing I received was wipe bits in the scent of Spiced Cranberry. I love this smell!!! I think I smelled it 20 times while mixing it up. I never used these before so I wasn't sure how to make them. I mixed 10 cubes with 1.5 cups of hot water and it seemed to work out good. I would like to get a few different scents.
The second package I received was a Diapers Only Mystery Fluff. I noted in my order i was planning for a new baby (no I am not pregnant). I received a NB AIO Swaddlebbes Simplex. I love the elephant print. My 7 month old keeps trying to get it, so I'm going to have to buy a OS in the same print. I obviously haven't been able to try this specific diaper but I am assuming that it's just like the Simplex 2.0 OS. I have that one in red. That is actually one of my favorite diapers. It's excellent quality and doesn't leak... ever. The second item I received was a Apple Cheek cover with an envelope pocket , lime colored, size 2. I had a size 1 when my son was smaller. He never seemed to fit it right. I like the diaper itself and I really want to love it. My son goes through these changes where one day something will fit perfect on him but the next day it looks kinda funky. I love the fabric for sure Its so soft and he seems to be happy wearing the diaper. I am going to mess with it more. Maybe I didn't put it on straight. Anyways, the next items are Apple Cheeks 3 layer Bamboo OS Inserts, 2 pack. They are soft and extremely absorbent. I wouldn't mind replacing all my inserts with these if I had the money. I have a total of 62 diapers in my stash, 50 of them are pockets. It would cost at least $250. I'm considering this investment because I really don't like the microfiber. I am definitely going to do further testing which will be another forum on its own. However I feel these would make great burp rags too. My last item is a goats milk sample in the scent Moon Kissed. It smells really good. My 11 year old snatched it from me other wise I would tell you the name of the company that makes it.
Overall I am very pleased with everything I received. Still skeptical on a couple of them but I feel that I definitely got moneys worth. I recommend this to anybody.
