20/20 Extreme Motherhood airs on ABC!
It covered Homebirth and Unassisted Birth Mothers-To-Be Saying No To Modern Medicine with comments by Laura Shanley and Rikki Lake (who both did marvelously, I think) and also covered ‘extreme’ breastfeeding (what up with that title?)Breast-Feeding Past Infancy, ‘I’m Comforting Him’
I’m watching as I post this, so watch along ;o)
Also, I just [...]
Our Christmas Extravaganza!
We just had such an over-the-top and excessive Christmas here, but loved absolutely every minute of it.
Firstly, we live near a wondrous candy cane lane that is a must visit every year. It’s special because you park your car and walk through (different from the drive-through versions that I’ve been to) and also because [...]
Action Planned against Facebook!
Hi all,
I have a bunch of comics planned, but am also enjoying the holiday too much to actually make them ;o) We’ve been playing Blokus and scrabble and chess and other fun things as well as eating more sugar filled treats than we have a right to, but all in all a fabulous holiday! I’ll [...]
I’m in the New York Times!!!!!
Seriously. (Thank you Lisa Belkin!) and thank you Sean Sakamoto (remember he wrote the response to a certain Rabbi for me a while back: here for telling me, so that I could do the “I’m in the New York Times!!” dance and get all breathless and read it out loud to the family (who were kind [...]
Time to be sick?
It’s the holidays, there’s no time to get sick AND my little ones are just now getting over a chest funk that lasted far longer than it should have, but not before passing it to dearest husband who just so happened to be working on night shoots the whole week. While sick. And me, me, [...]

Melamine Standards! What the…?
This crossed my path a few days ago, not only has melamine been found in formula in China Toxic Milk Scandal: 300,000 Sick But then it was found here too (where we were previously assured it couldn’t happen) in the three biggest U.S. manufacturers: Abbot Labs, maker of Similac; Mead Johnson, maker of Enfamil; [...]
Did you have a Happy Thanksgiving?
Mine was lovely, I was invited to a friends house for the feast and yum yum, it was delicious. My husband and the kids baked apple pies, which has become their yearly tradition. (I just had apple pie for breakfast too! ;o) Did you know that at the beginning of the 20th century the average [...]

We interrupt ‘Fun Highlights’ for this BS…
So first and foremost, Salma Hayak has come out with some ‘interesting’ comments about breastfeeding. Now, here at mama-is.com we’re always happy to have a celebrity talk about breastfeeding. It helps to legitimize, ya know? But, what the heck?
“I’m like an alcoholic. It is like, I don’t care if I cry, I don’t care if [...]
