Release Your Inner...Ninja?

This morning I was taking some things out to my consignment storage area that Manly made me in the garage. I had forgotten I'd put an old mirror out there. When I turned around and saw my reflection I dropped everything and kicked at...myself. It's nice to know I've got a ninja inside waiting to burst out when I'm under pressure. I always knew I would be able to defend myself. I guess it's true that you really are your worst enemy...Just know I could have kicked you in tha face, sucka!

So, my last post stirred up lots of interest on facebook. Turns out there are lots of opinions on the subject. Know that I would never want ot offend anyone, but I agree with many that God has given me the best way to feed my baby and if I need to stop somewhere and feed him or her I'll do it. My point in the last post is that we have made breastfeeding somewhat of a taboo. This creates a great discomfort to others who MIGHT see it in action. I love that so many of you are comfortable to share your opinion!

A "Nurse-In"?

So, my sister-in-law passed me this link. While you won't find me being part of any "nurse-ins" or "breastfeeding flash mobs" I do wish we could raise awareness for breastfeeding and make it more normalized for our kids. I thought this article was very interesting. It's sad to me that our society thinks it's necessary to erase breastfeeding from a children's educational program. It seems kids, especially boys, don't learn about anything about the female body until they learn about sex. By then, all they see is an object to bring them personal pleasure. I'm not saying that I think SESAME STREET should be teaching our kids. I can't think of the last time my kids even saw SS. I'm just saying that I don't like that breastfeeding has been pushed aside. Read the article and let me know what your thoughts are on public breastfeeding. As for me and my house, we will feed in public(with a nursing cover)!

In other news, Bubby hit a bit of a potty training milestone this morning. He took part in a poop painting of his bedroom and bathroom. Disgusting. I really was thankful for my new CUTE rubber gloves Manly put in my stocking(well, I bought them, but he put them in). It ended up taking well over an hour for me to get it all cleaned up. It was first thing this morning. What a way to wake up. Oh well. I'm thankful he's done so well until today. He's still doing well, I think, as he was wearing a diaper while sleeping, woke up, had to go potty, took off his diaper and went to the bathroom. We're getting there! He's not having pee accidents, so that's great!

One thing I'm really trying to do this year is get the pictures off my camera and into our home. I'm really good about taking pictures of the kids. I've got my camera with me just about all the time, but I've not printed any pictures since we got a digital camera back in 2005. That's just over 6 years of pictures. We're seriously talking about thousands of pictures that are just sitting in my drawer in on memory cards and CDs. Today I got my first shipment of pictures and got them framed. It's so nice to have more recent pictures on the walls. I walked past them tonight after getting the kids in bed and just smiled. I'm so blessed to live in this beautiful home and have such beautiful children to "decorate" with.

Here are some of the ones that I had printed and framed this time.

How do you save your photos? I'm about to go through and start scanning all of our photos in, and I'll need somewhere to save them to. Scotty has been telling me about cloud storage. Anyone have any experience with that or anything else that would work?
