Breastfeeding and Pimm’s and Other Things

Two posts in a day! You must be wondering whether I’m drunk. I’m not as it happens but as I suppose I could work on it if you forced me to.

Actually you might not even have to force me, I’m susceptible the mere suggestion.

Anyway, enough of that nonsense… this post is designed to celebrate some of what the people I’m calling the Mona Lisa Millionaires, i.e. the people with sites associated with the Mona Lisa Million project, are doing, or have been doing or possibly even will be doing.

I’m not sure how often I’ll do this and there’ll be a kind of random nature to this feature. It’ll be whatever catches my eye as I scan my feedreader and twitter feed. I’m not even sure I can balance it out evenly and give everyone the same sort of attention – all I can do is to start it and see where it leads. Which is fun!

Pixie on I’ll Be Francoise is doing a 30 Days Of Me feature. It’s the first time I’ve encountered this but I reckon it could catch on. Although, I’ll be honest and say it looks a bit too much like hard work! :)

Muddling Along Mummy has been Debunking Some Breastfeeding Myths and if you’re wondering why that might catch my attention… just drag your mind out of the gutter and let me explain that I’ve got 4 children so I’ve been witness to a lot of breastfeeding. Oooo wait, that sounds a bit odd. No. Really. I can assure you my intentions are honourable.

Emma, at Me, The Man & The Baby wrote and excellent piece about playground bullying. It’s a very candid and honest account of Emma’s own experiences. A brave piece to have written but it will help you if you if bullying has been part of your life, or still touches your life in some way.

That’ll do for now! :) I need to get to the shop and buy and bottle of Pimms, a bottle of lemonade and a big bag of ice!

Thanks for the mention! Yes, it’s going to be hard but I did the NanoWrimo writing thing last November (50k words in one month) and even though I didn’t make the full amount, I did the majority so this is a lot easier. :)

Getting close to fifty thousand words is impressive. I look farward to seeing how you get on with your 30 Days Of Me challenge… and I wish you the best of luck!! :)

Thank You ever so much for the mention , it was such a difficult post to write but it has helped me lots by getting it out in the open and not stored up inside. :)

I was very impressed that you wrote about bullying so openly and with real honesty. I hope lots of other people find your article and I hope it helps them to find their own inner courage. :)
