Maddie on Things

Posted on 7:00 AM by Unknown
Photographer Theron Humphrey has a rescued coonhound named Maddie. During a year-long cross-country road trip together, "I discovered her amazing balance and patience," he says. Since then, he has posted photographs of Maddie happily standing on everything from fridges and watermelons to bikes and people. She has become the four-legged darling of the Internet. Happily, they just released a fantastic book, Maddie on Things. It would make all your house guests smile. Thumbs up!P.S. They also have a hilarious MaddieCam app, so you can put Maddie on your own things:)

Toby making conversation

Posted on 11:45 AM by Unknown
Before I had a baby, I loved reading posts by mothers about the cute things their children would say. I daydreamed about the day when I'd hear cute things coming from my own child's mouth. Well, now that Toby is almost three (!), he's been talking up a storm and I love it so much. For example...

* He likes to start up conversations, but doesn’t always get it quite right. He'll say, “Mama?” I'll answer, “Yeah?” “Um.....remember Daddy?” "Yeah, totally! That guy from this morning? He was awesome."

* The other day, I walked into the living room and asked what he was doing. He answered, "Just chillin'." Another day, he answered, "Doing my thing." Oh. Okay.

* When I sing songs and put him to bed, I'll say, "Good night, sweetie," right before I walk about the door. And recently, he'll whisper, “Thank you so much." The sweetness breaks my heart.

* When he had his first bad dream and woke up crying, I asked him what he was scared of, he said ominously, "The restaurant." He wouldn't elaborate.

* The other night, I was putting Toby to bed, and we were lying in the dark talking about the new baby. Toby told me that the baby could sleep in his room and that he would help feed it. And I said, “What would you feed the new baby? Milk maybe?” And he paused, thought about it seriously, and said, “Pain au chocolat maybe?”

Oh, Toby, you're so awesome. P.S. Mamas, this might be a dumb question, but how can you love another baby as much as your first child?! My heart is already filled to the brim.

Breastfeeding idea: Everlane scarves

Posted on 8:12 AM by Unknown
Recently I ordered a Everlane scarf and was surprised by how soft, light and breathable it was. Not only would it look pretty with spring outfits, but I realized it would also be perfect for breastfeeding in public. I'm a big supporter of mamas who want or need to nurse their hungry babies in public (Toby chowed all over Manhattan) and breastfeeding is actually naturally modest because the baby's head covers anything booby and interesting:) But if you'd like extra privacy, this scarf would be a lovely way to cover up without having to lug around a bulky nursing apparatus!

What do you think? xoxo

P.S. Breastfeeding in public, and more about boobs.
