I’m going to cut and paste directly from another forum. Perhaps I’ll expand at some later date but I think this is important and needs to be said. —

I’d like to talk about something and wanted to do so out of the context of the other thread because this isn’t directed at anyone. I’d like to…

Get your boobs out (and help normalise breastfeeding) | Lulastic and the hippyshake:

By nursing in public I am doing my bit in shifting the framing of breasts back to feeding rather than sexing and it’s important enough to me to risk Death Stares and Facebook rants.

It’s not militant, it’s not aggressive, it’s no Gestapo-like boob army. It’s just a mother breastfeeding her baby when the baby needs it. It’s a natural, normal activity that has been done since time began and shouldn’t be hidden under a bushel.

“32” - Taylor Swift “22” music video parody. I particularly laughed at the part about finding a dentist and about my whole body being sore from walking up a staircase. And I totally do have acne AND wrinkles!

Expectation and Intentions | Parenting Gently

Expectation and Intentions | Parenting Gently:

Having unrealistic expectations, for example expecting your toddler to sit quietly during dinner for an hour, sets parents up for frustration – thereby undermining gentle intentions. Imagining malicious intention can be even worse. Imagine your 11 month old throwing food off of their tray. If you imagine she is doing it intentionally to annoy you your reaction will be very different than if you imagine she is having a great time learning about her power over objects.

An Open Letter To The Mama Who Makes Me Feel Bad | Diary of a First Child:

To the mamas on Pinterest:

Thank you for ~~making me feel bad~~ challenging me to be less lazy, to pick a few things up and to try a new activity. To switch off the TV and hand over the glitter pots.

[…]

Thank you for helping me realise that you doing what you do to the very best of your abilities isn’t an indictment on me. It’s just you celebrating your strengths as I compare, identify and then celebrate mine! And also for showing me that you can’t make me feel anything, and I own my feelings and should take responsibility for them rather than blaming you for being great.

Day 51: Five Reasons To Get Rid Of Clutter – Or Why I Want To Live In A Hotel | 100 things 100 days

Day 51: Five Reasons To Get Rid Of Clutter – Or Why I Want To Live In A Hotel | 100 things 100 days:

I want to think of arranging my house as if I live in a hotel. One of the best experiences in my life was living in England for a summer during college and having a whole bookshelf for about 10 books and a whole closet for half a dozen outfits — it felt decadent and right. And it was SO EASY to clean up!

But the best thing about the Firelight Lodge (or any hotel for that matter) is that we each checked in with only 1 suitcase each full of our favourite things.

And that has to be the single most compelling reason for getting rid of clutter that I can think of. Seriously, have you ever walked into a hotel room and thought:what this place is missing is a whole lot of my crap?

Sure, sometimes a comfortable bed or a sharp knife would be a pleasant addition, but do you miss your 46 tea towels or your laundry day underwear? Do you ever get a hankering to fix that broken flashlight you’ve been hanging onto?

I didn’t think so.

Jim Gaffigan: Mr. Universe - 4 KIDS (by jimgaffigan)

“Four kids. If you want to know what it’s like to have a fourth, just imagine you’re drowning … and then someone hands you a baby.”

“We had all our babies at home … just to make you feel uncomfortable.”

“People always assume there was some laziness involved. ‘You didn’t want to go to the hospital?’ 'It was far. I didn’t feel like putting on pants.’”

“People are like, 'You didn’t want to go to that germ-infested building where sick people congregate? … Didn’t your wife want to give birth in a gown someone died in yesterday?’”

“There was also a midwife there, because we believe in witchcraft.”

Ok, I’ll stop quoting. Enjoy!
