Embarrassed: The Importance of Normalizing Breastfeeding
The top three causes of death for children under five years old in the world:
1. Pneumonia.
2. Preterm Birth Complications

Breastfed children are 15 times less likely to die from pneumonia than their non-breastfed counterparts and, when afflicted with pneumonia, children who were … Keep Reading!!!

Happy 4th! Weird Vintage Patriotic Posters
Today we would find some of these offensive or just plain odd.
Let’s take a look at patriotic posters of the past:
The Disney character poster I found to be the most interesting. There is actually an entire website dedicated to similar posters.
Head over to Toons at War and you’ll see what I mean.
Sorry Nestle, Water is a Human Right
March 2013- Ethiopia.
It was a hot summer day during an extreme sandstorm when we arrived.
The shallow community well was undrinkable.
After being filtered, a child received his first taste of clean water; we were there and witness firsthand the immediate transformation.
If you told me you don’t believe access to clean water is a human right, then I would tell you, you don’t believe in human dignity.
Nestle’s attempt to fear people into supporting the commoditization of … Keep Reading!!!
A Breastfeeding Story: Beth
Before I found out I was pregnant, I had no real interest in any of the parenting culture or ideas, including breastfeeding. I read the Time Magazine cover with Jamie Grumet in sort of a combination of mocking and detachment. When I found out I was pregnant, I read the basics of parenting, but that Time article kept sticking in my head, so I Googled it, and was transported into a completely different parenting structure.

Black Birds Stick with Black Birds and Doves Stick with Doves
Have you seen this “What Would You Do” episode featuring a transracial adoption?
The only problem is, in this attempt to prove the biological normalcy for racial segregation, they seem to neglect to realize that they are talking about a separate species of bird.
Hate to break it to you, but not only are all humans the … Keep Reading!!!
I Suck at Twitter – Why I Need Social Media Help
I don’t understand Twitter. Perhaps it is because I am a run-on monologue and the 140 character limit sounds about as feasible for me as Dolly Parton trying to fit in my brassiere.
Or maybe it is because I really don’t understand social media. I like Facebook because it seems a bit more slow-paced and conversations can flow pretty easily, but if I was being honest, I am not the greatest in terms of engagement on there as well, … Keep Reading!!!
