Photo by Angie Baxter So when you find your infant daughter sitting in an ice chest of cold water, you tend to do some soul-searching about the kind of parent you want to be. And I would like to be the kind of parent whose daughter doesn’t drown in an esky while I’m drunk dancing […]

All The Choices
I was looking at Instagram recently, just scrolling through the pics until I came across one that made me stop and read the comments. It was a breastfeeding pic and we all know how much I love those.
