This article from the team at Making HOME shows you 17 COPPER OUTDOOR SHOWERS THAT WILL BE PERFECT IN YOUR NEXT RENO.  We can’t decide! We love them all!

  • It’s sad that the new mom didn’t get the help she needed. When I was pregnant, I only though that breastfed was the only best thing for the newborn baby. But my body couldn’t produce milk after the birth of my baby. I kept trying to breastfeed her and constantly pumped my breast for the first 2 days, but it didn’t work, then she lost interest and lost about 10% of her birth weight and had jaundice. I was battling with the pain from the C-section and frustration and worried. On day 4 in the morning, the midwife came with a doctor and they suggested a baby formula fed with a tube on my breast to manipulate the baby to latch and the baby got fed at the same time. It worked well and my baby gained her weight back and we kept doing that until my body finally produced milk after I took the lactation pill. Breastfed with breastmilk is ideal, but baby fed is the best

  • I love the home decor ideas, beautiful! I dream of the pillow accents, once my toddler grows bit older. She somehow managed to unzip one of our cushions and pull out the inner and she did give the ‘it wasn’t me’ face but the baby monitor told us so lol.

    Wish we could redecorate but unfortunately we are renting. Here’s hoping we can get a house of our own one day soon.
