‘Springing forward’ is (in my opinion) way harder to adjust to then ‘falling back’ when DST ends in the fall.
Daylight Saving Time begins again this Sunday, March 10th. For many parents with children whom need a strict schedule it can be awful.

Thoughts about truly supporting our girls
Throughout our lives we have all had a plethora of different bras. Some made us look and feel amazing, but only for a moment. There is always that one that we really want to keep, even though we know that it hurts us. We have the extra bra that doesn’t fit right, but we keep it around, just in case our good ones are unavailable. Then we have the most valuable of them all, the old faithful…She has been here for years, always there, so very comfortable, albeit threadbare. You know we all have favorites. And bras have to be properly cared for; if you don’t, you will run out of the good ones and only have the sub-par ones left to give you support. (You see what I did there?)

What happens if you find yourself considering or needing an induction? How can your doula help you?
