My doctor was amazing and very understanding of what I was feeling. In my experience, PPD is something that I find many people don't want to talk about or have a negative perception of. PPD is NOT something to be ashamed of, nor is it a bad thing, its your bodies natural response to having a baby. PPD is unpredictable, easy to recognize by a medical professional and is 100% curable.

     Yesterday I went to 'Sun Asian Market'.  Besides picking up some goodies to make Sushi, (Salmon, Sushi Rice, Sushi Seasoning & Sesame Seeds) I found local honey!

Have you tried honey to ease your allergy woes?  If so, did honey work for you?  Know of any great places near Army Posts that provide local honey?  Comment Below!
