Introduction

Welcome to Hill's alley blog, a blog that shares about my life, my experience and DIY experiments. Let's start with a bit of introduction about myself in my very 1st blog post.

I am a mother of a pair of 5 month old twins (one girl and one boy), oh yes you may call me lucky and I will happily admit that. There are so much to learn when you become a mother and on top of the list, breastfeeding most probably is your most exciting and challenging one. My journey of breastfeeding is not a smooth one but I still manage to breastfeed them along the way, although not fully; and maybe I will share with you in another post. If you are one of the lucky mommy who is blessed with a good supply of breastmilk, you may probably face with excess breastmilk stored in you fridge and don't know what to do with them. Of course the best way is to donate them out to those who is needed, but how about the expired one? and/or for some reasons you are not able to donate them out? No I am not the lucky one, but I do somehow ended up with extra breastmilk storing in my freezer and the quantity is still increasing. So here I am, starting my journey of searching ways to put my breastmilk into good use and share them here. Everything starts from breastmilk.

Go googling around and you will be surprised by how many things you can do with breastmilk. The best is to use breastmilk as an ingredient for your food recipe where you can enjoy the nutrition of the breastmilk directly. Unfortunately, even though it  is totally alright; many of us will find consuming breastmilk unpleasant (I am truly impressed with those husbands who don't mind consuming their wives' breastmilk). Then the other way is to apply breastmilk externally. You may apply breastmilk to your skin directly but again, many of us may not like the smell and the texture/feels of it. If applying breastmilk onto your skin is not an option, then you turn them into something you don't mind to put on your skin!! So I started to find methods and recipes to turn breastmilk into soap, lotion, cream and etc. In this blog you will find me sharing my DIY experiments, both failed and succeeded; and you are free to comment or share yours so I can learn and improve from there.

My next post, breastmilk soap.
