The Breastfeeding Doll!

Thanks Missi (and others!) Controversial Doll Lets Little Girls Pretend to Breast-Feed

I’m not sure why they had to include the little vest with the flower ‘pasties’ but heyI can’t figure out what’s going on with people nowadays anyways. I mean, what’s up with the comments? (ooops, don’t read them, you really don’t want to [...]

The Whole Foods Boycott and other things, food related…

Dearest Mamas,
You may remember my post on health care from a couple of weeks ago, the Public Option in Health Care I’m a big fan of the single-payer system, it’s not even on the table right now, but I can dream.

But, this is what I do know, there [...]

The Public Option in Health Care…

I’m writing this, because the public option in the new health care reform bill is in trouble, and unless we stand up for it, we’re just going to end up with a re-working of what we’ve already got. Insurance companies making a profit at all of our expenses, while providing us with health care that [...]

One of the best things about babies…

Is that their presence makes you take stock.

My newest baby has only really cranked up a few times (we don’t have/need/want to drive as far as we did pre-baby, part of the ‘taking stock’) and when he does, he’s usually consolable with a break in the action. So, we’ve started getting out of [...]
