I can honestly say that I have no idea how I feel about this video and breastfeeding to this age. I know that I think that there’s a point when a child is too old but I don’t know what that age is or who decides it. Is it the mother?  The child?  The society?… Continue reading Breastfeeding Until 8?

We have had issues with eating out with Cara since she was a tiny infant.  Actually, that’s not totally right.  Other people have had issues with us eating out with Cara since she was a tiny infant. When Cara was an itty bitty baby, I would breastfeed her when we went to dinner.  Since I… Continue reading An Evolving Battle

The enormity of what we’re about to undertake is about to drive me crazy. This kid’s due to be born sometime in September and I just can’t seem to get my head around that fact.  I look at our place and the absolute lack of any baby stuff.  I keep getting bogged down with all… Continue reading Run for the Hills

One thing that sucks about me being pregnant right now is the fact that Cara’s not weaned. She had cut herself down to one real feeding when she woke up and one real feeding right before bed and then she would nurse when she woke up in the middle of the night. In addition to… Continue reading This Cafe is Closing

Dear YouTube, I love you. You have given my daughter, my husband, and me hours and hours of enjoyment. But, I’m pretty pissed off at you right now. The League of Maternal Justice posted a breastfeeding montage on your site in response to Facebook banning a picture of a woman breastfeeding her child. It was… Continue reading Message to YouTube

We’re not really a vacation kind of family. I’m sure well will be once Cara gets older, but up until around this time last year, it was just Tucker and me. Our lazy asses preferred to sit on the couch and save the cash that we would have spent on a trip. All that being… Continue reading Amazing Boob Trick

There is some major breastfeeding drama afoot. Applebee’s stepped in it here and the incident has spawned video reactions, blog entries and general bad press. Then, Facebook banned a picture of a mother breastfeeding because it was “obscene“. That action has also caused an uproar and even the creation of a website calling for people… Continue reading Breastfeeding Crazys

I just received an email with a funny [and very true] list of breastfeeding “terms” with definitions; I had to share them here. The Boob Lift – The unconscious lifting of your breasts to check which is fuller. It may be done at any time regardless of where you are or whom you’re talking to.… Continue reading Breastfeeding Terms Defined

Does this picture offend you? I really can’t decide, so I want you guys to decide for me. [ok…not really] Whether you formula feed or breastfeed, you can’t deny the superiority of breastmilk to formula. I’m not passing judgment. I’m not pointing fingers. I’m just stating a fact. From an advertising standpoint, this ad works…unless… Continue reading Can I Get an Inhaler with that Dandelion?

I quit my birthcontrol yesterday. NO, I am NOT trying to get pregnant again. Not yet anyway. I guess a bit of back story is in order. I had Cara in November of 2006. [That sounds like so long ago!] The “baby weight” came off almost immediately and after a couple of months, the ole… Continue reading No More Pills
