A Little Weekend Reading

Image
By
This week I wanted to share on two different topics. First, there have been a lot of wonderful breastfeeding posts recently. I think it's possibly due to August being National Breastfeeding Month. I wanted to share some of the great breastfeeding posts I've read lately!! Also, check out my breastfeeding update!

Melissa at Confessions of a Dr Mom wrote a beautiful post called Breastfeeding Broke My Heart. It is an absolute must-read for any mother.

Amy at Somebody's Parent & Lori at Mommyfriend both weighed in on the recent breastfeeding comments made by a certain celebrity supermodel.

Nikki at Mommy Oblongata shared her breastfeeding story.

Becoming Sarah also shared her story as well as linking to this great post called The Dirty F-Word.

Asashia at A Practical Mom asked you - to breastfeed or not to breastfeed?

Unexpectant shared some Secrets to Breastfeeding Success.

Adriel at The Mommyhood Memos shared Tips for Breastfeeding in Public.

Celebrity Baby Blog shared some ways dads can help with breastfeeding! (I've got Lewis working on A Dad's Perspective on Breastfeeding!!)


With all of that breastfeeding fabulousness, I also wanted to share some super awesome discoveries I made this week!! These have been added to my Google Reader in a folder titled "Inspiration." These lovely ladies are so creative & so talented & although I can do almost nothing they can do, I have loved checking out all their posts!!

And please scroll down to read my wonderful guest blogger, Gretchen's story of how she chose to do a waterbirth for her upcoming birth!!

Awesome links. I breastfeed my babies FOREVER..lol. Well, not forever, but until they are ready to stop. My baby girl is 13 months and no signs of stopping. I love our snuggle time. Once they reach this age, they just want to be on the go, so it is so nice to have them slow down with mama during the day.

Have a great weekend my dear!

Fantastic resources! I'm still nursing my 18 month old (just to bed at night) and I've been putting off weaning her. My boobs are already shot as it is, I figure what's a few more months? LOL

Thanks for featuring me Cameron! I have read through some of these posts and they have been very helpful as I try and figure out what to do with my boobies once the baby is born. ;-)

This is a great resource. I read Confessions of a Dr.Mom's post and loved it (especially because i had similar breastfeeding trouble).

10 on Tuesday: 10 Favorite 6 Month Pics

By
This is completely gratuitous, just me posting pictures of Isis, but my friend Hannah took some pictures of our family yesterday! She is such a great photographer & she is also going to be watching Isis for me in the fall when I start my student teaching. I feel so blessed to have her as a friend on top of the fact that she takes gorgeous pictures of Isis!! I also realized that I didn't put any of the ones where she is smiling in this post. This just means I'll have to post more another time! Get excited! (And this is not a great comment-grabbing post , but who cares? This is for the digital baby book!)

How to Efficiently Read Blogs

By
Have you ever been just completely overwhelmed by the sheer volume of blogs out there you can read? I have. Wow. So many fabulous people I'm interested in reading about! I love the stories, the humor, the pictures, the tips, the giveaways, the links, I just love it all! So I've found myself having to streamline my blog reading in order to better manage my time & make sure I hit the "must-reads" for me. Here's how I've done it: First of all, if you leave a comment on my blog or if you follow my blog, I will go to your blog & at the very least I will follow you on Google Friend Connect . This way the blog shows up on my blogger dashboard when I log in. I always look over the new posts that are there when I log in each day, but if you've looked at my Google Friend Connect page lately, you'll see that I follow a lot of people's blogs! So I had to come up with a more specific approach in addition to the blogger dashboard. This is where my Goog

5 Blogging Pet Peeves

By
Blogging pet peeves are obviously going to be different depending on the blogger or blog reader. I am not an expert, but I have been blogging for more than 3 years between this blog & my other one. So I've seen a lot of blogs & read a lot of tips. Here are 5 things from my perspective that will really help you as a blogger &  me as a reader. 1. Offer a full RSS feed Oh my goodness this gets on my nerves!! I don't know if people think that offering a partial feed will get people to click on their page more or something? But really all it does it gets most people from what I've seen to NOT subscribe or visit your blog at all. There are maybe 2 bloggers that I subscribe to their feed even if they don't offer a full feed & that's only because they email & converse with me regularly & in some way make up for the fact that I can't see their feed in my reader. So just offer a full feed.  There is some debate about the issue, but in every debate
