I’m back from vacation and World Breastfeeding Week!
Hello all! I’m back from a lovely trip to Holden, Maine. My grandfather has a little camp there and so we spent a week frolicking and swimming and eating. My brother who is a budding chef cooked up some wicked good food (cream dijon salmon on a bed of some ricey-goat cheese stuff, sorry Dave! I can’t remember the name just the awesome taste~!) My husband spent all of his time in boats (canoe? row? sail? anyone?) and me and the girls floated and did endless cannonballs. Our Oma and Opa were there to dote on the girls and I got to spend some time exploring my grammy’s house, and saw a tin-type of my great-great-great-grandmother. so cool. Oh we also went and saw the work of Bo Bartlett at the Farnsworth Museum.
Also, this week is World Breastfeeding Week!!!!!!!!!August 1-7, 2007! and so today’s comic celebrates the pure yummy goodness of breastmilk, straight from the mouth of a babe. Who can talk. The horror! hee hee heeeee hoooooooooo!
Glad to be back,
Love,
Heather
Embarrassing Article by Carrie Friedman
In Newsweek an article called Stop Setting Alarms on My Biological Clockjust came across my desk:
So why don’t I have kids or even the inkling right now? It’s because of you. Yes, you: the fanatical mothers of the world. It may seem like ages ago now, but you weren’t always like this. You, too, were sneering at the obnoxious parents who brought their infants to fancy, adult, nighttime restaurants or R-rated movies and let them carry on, ruining things for other patrons. You’ve been terrible advertising for the club that you so desperately need others to join.
It was sent to me from Megan M. thanks Megan!
Have you read the newest “My Turn”? Yet another mother bashing article. We’re all just a bunch of diaper rash obsessed nitwits, wasting our educations, giving up our lives and trying to recruit other women into our cult. Because what the world really needs is someone telling mothers that they just aren’t good enough.
I’d love to hear your perspective on this one.
Thanks.
Megan M.
And though I’m still on vacation I do plan on doing yet another comic on it…that article is just begging for a response ;o)
Love,
Heather
