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!

Z was Raja in an Aladdin production through her dance studio @pasgeorgetown this evening and she did such a great job. I loved watching her. She took a year off dance and is getting back into it and you'd barely know she took any time off, plus she had a big smile on her face the whole time - I could tell she was having a ton of fun. ♥️

What happens when you go on a long weekend trip with only your husband, no kids, and no agenda? 

Lots of walking, cocktails in the middle of the day, singing at a piano bar, and time to write a blog post for the first time in nearly two years. Which I did! 

😮 For real. LOL 😊

Today Chris and I have been married for 15 years. We're celebrating with our first weekend away from children while my mom watches all four girls. We rented an old Victorian from the 1800s near the coast in Galveston, Texas and spent the day at a spa, eating delicious food, walking the beach under the stars, and finished the night with a bottle of bourbon saved from when we lived on Nantucket. I'm not sure I could have asked for a much better day. I even had an oppotunity to get out the lightship basket purse Chris gave me for our 5th anniversary. ♥️

We had a cold snap and yesterday we had to get all bundled up for Zara's soccer game. It was 30 degrees and, despite these pictures, Vivi's patience for being out there did not last long. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 80 degrees and we're really looking forward to warmth again.

By the way, my awesome gaiter came from our client @isacattostudio. Isa paints patterns and makes really beautiful textiles and notebooks with her patterns. ♥️ her work and team.
