30 Before 30 Update
When we started out on this Pre-30 Bucket List we never thought so much would get crossed off in one year. I guess that is what makes life wonderful and scary at the same time- As much as you plan for your future, you really don’t know what it holds.

Clever Cleavage- Jessica’s Story
Everyone Meet Jessica!
Breastfeeding, for me, typifies mothering. It nourishes, comforts, heals, and soothes. I love nursing my children, and I love to talk about it.
When I had my first son 5 years ago, I assumed that I would put him to the breast and he would eat. Not quite. After flat nipples, pumping and feeding with a little plastic tube, nipple shields, bleeding, cracking, being diagnosed with Reynaud’s phenomenon of the nipple (blood vessels spasm, crippling pain), and … Keep Reading!!!
Palm Springs Air Museum
Disneyland now has competition.
We took the boys to the Palm Springs Air Museum.
It has one of the world’s largest collections of flyable WWII aircrafts.
Never in a million years would I have believed Aram and Samuel could spend a whole day here and be entertained. Well, to my surprised that is exactly what happened. The boys were enthralled by all of the fighter planes and the stories that went with each aircraft.
Any history buff or child … Keep Reading!!!

Worldwide Average Age Of Human Weaning
By Katherine A. Dettwyler
A worldwide average age of weaning?
That pesky 4.2 year figure. For many years, Ruth Lawrence has claimed in her book Breastfeeding: A Guide for the Medical Profession, that there is a worldwide average duration for breastfeeding. She writes: “The average time of complete cessation [of breastfeeding] worldwide is 4.2 years.” (Lawrence 1994:312). This 4.2 year figure is widely cited by numerous groups, including La Leche League members, lactation consultants, and parents.
My Response To TIME
I know it i has been awhile since I posted on here. I wanted to address my background story with the TIME cover, but not dwell on it.
Kellymom.com did a Q and A with the four mothers (myself included) that participated in the photo shoot. It explains what happened from our perspectives and is definitely worth a look:

Nobody is expert in doing this job and every smoker wants a consistent filling of weeds in the cigarettes. It requires a tool and that tool is known as cigarette rolling machine. It is not a very large machine, but it performs exceptional work. So, whenever you are in a hurry and want to prepare multiple cigarettes quickly, prefer the rolling … Keep Reading!!!
What Is Philanthropy?
Most of you know of (or are actively involved in) the start-up of a foundation, being created for the preservation of families in Sidama, Ethiopia. Being involved in what would be considered a “philanthropic endeavor” has had me thinking the past year about the true meaning of philanthropy.
Someone the other day used the old saying, “Philanthropy is not about you, it is about other people.” The sentiment is nice, but I completely disagree. There seems to be a lot … Keep Reading!!!
