Passing along more webby goodness.  :)

{by far one of my most favorite articles ever}



Fox Valley Babywearers are having an event!  Come to "Try 'Em Out"!, Wednesday, August 17th, from 11 - 2pm.  {Learn about different slings, wraps, carriers, and try on several styles to get a better feel for what will work for you.}

Sesame Street is breastfreeding friendly. Love this little clip.


P.S. I have no idea why Blogger is ignoring my color choices for fonts.  Don't overanalyze the randomocity.  It means nothing.  :)

So, I'm EXTREMELY excited to share with you  the special offer that just arrived in my inbox from Le Leche League International....



I wish this special would have been available when I was becoming a member of LLL!  Sadness for me.  :(  Still, I'm excited to spread the word and hope you consider investing in such great resources.  LLL.org has been my major online go-to for everything breastfeeding related, this book is one of the three I keep on my bedside table, and, well, I already openly admitted to crying at just the preview of this video.  {Emotional much?} 

No, I'm not being paid to gush over the wonders of LLLI.  I promise.  I'm not affiliated with them in any way, other than being a member, using their site, loving their book, and hanging out at monthly meetings.  Just a groupie sharing some fan love.  :)

But seriously, you don't want to pass this up!  You can take advantage of the offer by clicking THIS. {Can I make it any easier?}
Celebrate World Breastfeeding Week {August 1 - 7} Check out the official site for lots of ways to get involved!

August is also National Breastfeeding Awareness Month, and so I pose this challenge to you:  Do something you've been afraid to do.  Nurse in public, nurse uncovered, stand up to that one relative or friend who's goal in life is to make you feel guilty over extended nursing... just one thing, just a small step, can make a world of difference when we're all making those steps together. 

Also, make sure to preview this video now available through Le Leche League International, BabyBabyOhBaby: Nurturing Your Gorgeous and Growing Baby By Breastfeeding   {I'm telling you, I cried while watching this.  Seriously.  I can't wait to see the whole thing!}

Happy Breastfeeding week and month!  Make the most of it and let's begin to change our culture's thinking on this natural, beautiful relationship.
