Mothers harrassed for breastfeeding: Do nursing moms need more support? - Atlanta Stay-at-Home Moms | Examiner.com

Since I've been pregnant or breastfeeding for nearly 5 years straight, I can totally relate to breastfeeding mothers not being supported enough. I am nursing my 10 month old still and expect to do that until he's 1 year old but people are not always happy to see me doing it. I definitely cover up and try to be as discreet as possible but I simply refuse to go into a bathroom or always lug everything back to my car or back home. Geez...I'd never be able to leave the house if I couldn't nurse in public. Anyway, go on and read this story and let me know what you think? Do you think nursing moms are supported? Or are they being attacked and perhaps this is why many stop? Mothers harrassed for breastfeeding: Do nursing moms need more support? - Atlanta Stay-at-Home Moms Examiner.com

Ten ways to fill up a snow day - Atlanta Stay-at-Home Moms | Examiner.com

I wrote this article because I needed to think of new things to do tomorrow...our 4th day of being "trapped" by the ice and snow. School is still closed tomorrow and it doesn't seem like the weather will be helping melt any ice anytime soon. So I will be putting these to good use. Hope they help you too!

Happy 2011!

Did you have a good New Year's Eve?  Better question, will you have a good "new" year?  I started thinking yesterday that I'd rather spend time getting 2011 started off right then partying hard to end 2010.  Maybe that's because I am getting older.  Or because I have 3 little kids.  Or maybe it's because I am looking forward more than I'm looking back. 

I hope you ended 2010 on a good note but I REALLY hope that you are getting  this new year off on the right foot to have a fantastic next chapter in your life.

Happy New Year!
