Warning: incoming rant …
Before you get in a huff, I’m not referring to sweet Prince George as being a royal pain for the Duchess of Cambridge. No, no, that’s not it at all. The royal pain the Duchess is now going to experience is the fact that she’s a new mom and the whole world is watching… so don’t screw it up princess!
I’ve ranted before about the fact that moms often judge each other when in my opinion, we should stand united and support each other. I’m happy to say that I have lots of moms and friends who are supportive of how Matt and I are raising Missy Moo.
Before Prince George was even born there was speculation as to whether or not Kate would use hypnobirthing in her birth plan. I’m happy to say that I was able to use elements from what we learned in a local hypnobirthing class at Shakti Yoga (it was awesome, but more about that in a future post). Whether or not Kate did use hypnobirthing (and it sounds like she did), just talking about it has helped increase awareness, so that’s good. But I can’t stress enough that it’s a personal choice and sometimes your “plan” for birth can’t always go the way you envision. Either way, she had a baby – good for her! High five sister!
Family photos. They’re something I’ve always enjoyed looking at. My parents have some old albums and I’m able to see lots of great things from before I was born, to events I remember when I was little.

I feel like things have gotten worse now with the advances of technology. Often times, both parents will now have a smartphone and it’s easy for one to say, “Hey, take a photo” or they take the initiative and snap a photo of their child/children which may also include a mom or dad in the photo.
