In celebration of World Breastfeeding Week and National Breastfeeding Month, I’m sharing from our 100 Words Project every day. Today’s post is from Anne: With baby #1, I told myself it would be really, really hard. It was at first, but it’s what I expected, so I stuck with it. Initially I used a shield, then didn’t need it. The blisters went away, […]
100 Words {for August 4}
In celebration of World Breastfeeding Week and National Breastfeeding Month, I’m sharing from our 100 Words Project every day. Today’s post is from Danielle: From the first time my first little one latched on it was orgasmic; almost literally. I wasn’t expecting that. And the same happened with my second. Breastfeeding has become the deep connection I’ve always wanted and never knew existed. […]
100 Words {for August 3}
In celebration of World Breastfeeding Week and National Breastfeeding Month, I’m sharing from our 100 Words Project every day.

The Revival of the 100 Words Project
In celebration of World Breastfeeding Week and National Breastfeeding Month, I’ve decided to bring back our 100 Words Project. About a year ago, I was struck with the very limited stories I heard of breastfeeding. On one hand, I heard how terrible and awful breastfeeding was, that it wasn’t realistic and it wasn’t enjoyable. On […]
Multi-Tasking
Well, if that picture doesn’t represent what life looks like for so many of us, I don’t know what does! My life is one gigantic multi-tasking experiment and, some days, I feel like I have so many juggling balls in the air… Summer in our home has been lovely…and busy. Make sure that your cooling […]
Summer Time Changes (New Online Only Support!)
I spent all last summer trying to figure out the work-with-kids-home-for-summer dance…unsuccessfully, I might add. I was frantically calling for babysitters when a mother needed some quick assistance or texting a client while my kids were begging for me to watch one more sprawling jump off of the diving board or even sneaking away to […]
Because I Believe Birth is Normal…
Tonight, amid the homework and pizza and playing with friends and tucking in, I spent my time on the couch, staring at my computer screen. I was transfixed. I was mesmerized. And I invited my daughter to stare into the screen as well… We were watching as Jessica (known to many as “The Leaky Boob“) […]
Success
“Mothering success in not measured in ounces or drops of milk that flow from breast to mouth. It’s measured in the love that flows between mother and baby.” Diana Cassar-Uhl
100 Words: Chapter 12
A new year. Usually a time for reflection on the past and hope for a new year. HOPE…it is what I need to offer to so many of the moms I encounter. And there is hope! So many breastfeeding relationships start off in a place that is frustrating and difficult and challenging and could use […]
