I don’t even know what to call this, except OMG eeewwww

Extraordinary Breastfeeding: Girl, 7, still drinking from her mom.

People, they draw art with boobs in it. And they’ve named them: Milky for “the one with the most milk in it” and Lady for “the one with the pink dot.”

“I’d rather have lots of breastmilk than a million melons!”

Ahhhhhhh!!

Housekeeping with links

Posted in: Blog: Life with Lucy, Local Shop n' Dine, Sweet Sites, babies n' kids, baby gear, breastfeeding, crafts, events, family, labour&delivery, labour&delivery, local, mind madness, moms&dads, play, pregnancy, pregnancy, resource, restaurant, shopping, the outside world, unique, work

I’ve spent an eye-crossing amount of time updating and adding to the links section the past week or so. They desperately needed to be done to preserve my sanity, and also in response to what Mr. Google says people are looking for (namely: stuff to do, places to go, and birthday party centres — all for Durham).

Things are now split into what I hope are easier-to-navigate categories for y’all:

Durham links: The main entrance, also found on the right-hand toolbar over there, and directly above, under the logo

Places to play: Municipal recreation programs, indoor gyms, dance, birthday party centres

Stuff to do: Get out of the house with grown-ups (including, of course, Durham Mom’s Night Out!), Early Years Centres, public libraries, event listings, travel/tourism links

Durham daycare/nannies: Places to find childcare, resources

Safety and support: Recalls, breastfeeding, car seat safety checks, postpartum depression, parenting etc.

Local businesses and mompreneurs: List of consignment stores, baby gear, online sales, local entrepreneurs

Health: Labour, fitness, beauty

Fave Canadian retailers: The Eh! online stores we love the best

Coming soon: Baby shows, crafts and photography. Got any to add?

Have a site you love you want listed? A category to suggest? Business to add? Leave a comment or drop me an email. These are ever-expanding.

Enjoy!

Why my breasts LOVE Kim, and other Durham boob help

Posted in: Sweet Sites, breastfeeding, local

The Girls would be a lot less used and abused if it weren’t for Kim.

That’s why I love her. (ps — those aren’t my boobs.)
