The lovely women at Every Mother, Inc. shared the following on Twitter (@everymotherinc). Just the kind of geeky love and affection that we need on a Friday night…
Celebrity
(photo credit: www.koraorganics.com) I really believe that when a celebrity (Victoria’s Secret model Miranda Kerr) releases this as their introduction of their brand new child to the world, it does something amazing. My hope is that a million young women see this, see the calm, serene look on her face, see sweet little Flynn nursing […]
Rose Colored Glasses
I’ve been accused of being all “rose colored glasses” about breastfeeding. That couldn’t be further from the truth. While I hold very tightly to my belief that “we were create for this”, I know (both firsthand and from so many encounters with other moms) that it isn’t as easy as simply putting baby to breast. […]
Rockin’ Robin!
(photo credit: www.kpoplive.com) OK, so maybe the Twitter bird isn’t a robin…but I just can’t get the “tweet, tweet, tweetly-tweet” out of my head. I consider myself pretty well-connected. My mom used to tell a joke that went on and on about how I knew the pastor, the mayor, the governor, the president and took […]
Hop! Hop! Hop!

I do, the more I realize from where moms today are gaining their breastfeeding education and understanding. I’ll have another blog […]
Personality
In the Wordless Wednesday tradition, I give you…
Flash Mob
On my Bucket List, firmly in the Top #5…participate in a Flash Mob! Here’s the thing about a flash mob: people, different abilities, different levels of knowledge about dancing and singing, different jobs, different ages…all coming together for one purpose. Most times that purpose is just plain ol’ fun. It is all about community. I […]
Sunday Afternoon
The Great Lego Sort of 2011: the most satisfying way to wreck a manicure ever!
Legacy
I have been so fortunate to learn at the feet of some incredible women providing breastfeeding support to the mamas around them. And so many more who, while not professionals, carried me on my journey. My breastfeeding heritage starts with a young mother in Homestead, FL. I’ve often wished I knew her name so that, […]
Relax
I recently purchased a new couch. And learned a lesson. Getting the beloved couch into our townhouse basement involved 7 people, 1 large hole in a wall, 2 walls removed, 8 feet of new trim, 3 sheets of drywall, 2 buckets of spackling and 1 bill from the drywall guy. I must really love this […]
