Holly is a mom of 3, two boys (8 & 10) and a 4 year old girl who can do just about anything her brothers can…while wearing a princess dress. Holly is passionate about her work through Parents as Teachers, where she visits with families to make sure that all children will learn, grow, and develop to realize their full potential. She is also a “Happier in Hollywood” fan, which is how we connected!
We discuss oversupply, cabbage leaves, Baby Led Weaning, tandem nursing, supporting at-risk moms and families, WIC peer counselors, the secret recipe for breastfeeding (spoiler alert: there are only two ingredients), kissing baby foreheads, and mom guilt related to having a second baby.
