Article: Why I Post Pictures of My Children Breastfeeding

http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/parenting/wp/2015/03/11/why-i-post-pictures-of-my-children-breastfeeding/

A friend of mine shared this article and I loved it from the start, but one of the last passages was actually my favorite:

"So, I post pictures of my children nursing because nursing is beautiful and ephemeral. And because by doing so, I am planting a seed. For every person who might sneer or snicker at my picture, there is an expectant mother—or a young woman who will one day become a mother—looking at the warm embrace between myself and my child. I hope she is feeling the love radiating from her screen. I hope she will pick up on how extraordinary, but entirely ordinary my picture is. I hope she will breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that she will be supported and lifted up in her choice of how to feed her child."

This is exactly what I hope to achieve with my blog.

Article: Is It Normal to Breastfeed Your Toddler and Beyond?

We are at 15 months and still going strong... I fear the day that we get dirty looks.

The article states:

"The only downside to breast-feeding through toddlerhood is social stigma."

Here's to normalizing toddler breastfeeding for those who choose to do it!

My Favorite Mom-Friendly Clothing Brands

A mom's body is different after she has a baby. She also needs clothes that can keep up with her active lifestyle, comfortable and easy to wear. I have a few favorite brands that I have really been into since becoming a mom:

Jag Jeans

This line is slimming, pull-on, high-waisted jeans will keep you from flashing your back while you are bending and crouching playing with or chasing a toddler. They also have have petite, ankle and crop lengths, as well as cords and colored jeans!

Carve Designs

This line of workout inspired clothes feel like pajamas but look pulled together. Love their leggings, Henley tops and striped shirts.

NYDJ (Not Your Daughters Jeans)

Designer feel, super comfort. I loved the way these felt (the jean leggings), but they are pricey. I ended up returning them and keeping the JAG Jeans instead.
