At It Again

It’s after midnight and I have a million things on my to-do list.  Next week is world breastfeeding week and I have been busy, busy, busy planning the week’s events.  I’ll be teaching my first ever breastfeeding class which is really exciting but also a little nerve-racking.  I went around town putting up fliers, my friend Jess, a labor & delivery nurse, called all of the expecting mothers the hospital knows about, and yesterday the hospital put an ad in the paper: 

Yes, someone at the hospital doesn’t know that breastfeeding is one word, but it’s awesome none-the-less.  So far, I have seven expecting mamas signed up!

In addition, on the morning of Saturday, August 6, we will be having a breastfeeding support walk from children’s beach to the library, where we will be participating in the Big Latch On.  In addition to doing lots of planning, I’ve really been making use of my marketing and design skills, making fliers, brochures for my CLC services, business cards, and even t-shirts:

The back will say, “Everyone can help make breastfeeding easier.”

I’ve been having flashbacks doing all this to when I was working at Bard…it’s really been fun putting my creative skills back to work.  I can’t wait to see how all the marking works and how the week turns out!

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. 😂
