I did not write this wonderful piece. I got it somewhere on the Internet along time ago. Unfortunately, there was no author listed. I'm sure she knows how great of a piece this is and it rings true for so many of us. Thank you.
“Suess” for Nursing Mothers
Mother’s milk is just the thing!
Would you nurse her at the park?
Would you nurse him in the dark?
Would you nurse him with a Boppy?
And when your boobs are feeling floppy?
I would nurse him in the park,
I would nurse her in the dark.
I’d nurse with or without a Boppy.
Floppy boobs will never stop me.
Can you nurse with your seat belt on?
Can you nurse from dusk till dawn?
Though she may pinch me, bite me, pull,
I will nurse her ‘till she’s full!
Can you nurse and make some soup?
Can you nurse and feed the group?
It makes her healthy strong and smart,
Mommy’s milk is the best start!
Would you nurse him at the game?
Would you nurse her in the rain?
In front of those who dare to complain?
I would nurse him at the game.
I would nurse her in the rain.
As for those who protest lactation,
I have a perfect explanation.
Mommy milk is tailor made
It’s perfect food, you need no aid.
Some may scoff and some may wriggle,
Avert their eyes or even giggle.
To those who can be cruel and rude,
Remind them breast’s the perfect food!
I would never scoff or giggle,
Roll my eyes or even wiggle!
I would not be so crass or crude,
I KNOW that this milk’s the perfect food!
We make the right amount we need,
The perfect temp for every feed.
There’s no compare to milk from breast-
The perfect food, above the rest.
Those nursing smiles are oh so sweet,
Mommy milk is such a treat.
Human milk just can’t be beat.
I will nurse, in any case,
On the street or in your face.
I will not let my baby cry,
I’ll meet her needs, I’ll always try.
It’s not about what’s good for you,
It’s best for babies, through and through.
I will nurse her in my home,
I will nurse her when I roam.
Leave me be lads, leave me be ma’am.
I will nurse her, Mom I am.

'No Impact Man' movie at the Bay View EcoVillage
http://noimpactman.typepad.com
I went to a viewing of No Impact Man last night at the Bay View EcoVillage. What a great place and documentary! The movie is about Colin Beavan who decides to see what would happen if his family (wife and young daughter) lived for 1 year making no impact on the earth. It was interesting to see how things are so connected that we just take for granted. No electricity means no fridge, which means no milk (he comes up with a solution). No electricity also means no washing machine (they find out the tub and your feet works fine!) It was great to see how you can come up with eco friendly alternatives to our societal destructive ways. Not that 'Family Cloth' would work for all families (what you use instead of toilet paper. Fabric wipes you wash just like cloth diapers). Being No Impact would be very, very challenging for almost all of us but even if you do a few of the eco concious actions it will make a big impact.
A few simple easy eco actions you can do right now:
Join thousands doing the Sierra Club No Impact Week--Starting TODAY 8/29
The No Impact Experiment is a one-week carbon cleanse that starts on Sunday, August 29th. It is a chance for you to see what a difference no-impact living can have on your quality of life. It's not about giving up creature comforts but an opportunity for you to test whether the modern "conveniences" you take for granted are actually making you happier or just eating away at your time and money.
http://action.sierraclub.org/site/PageNavigator/NAT_noimpact
We are going to try the No Impact Experiment for this week. I know it will be hard but everything we do will help the Earth. ***We pledge and guarantee to not eat out for this No Impact week.*** This is a big thing for us. We eat out way more then we should.
Now, I must tell you about the Bay View EcoVillage. What a great set-up. Mark, who lives there and hosted the movie party, explained how the village works. There are 7 adults and 3 children that live in 2 side by side duplexes. They all share 1 car, they cook and eat meals together, have 1 TV in a room large enough to hold all of them and more and they have a massive vegetable garden. They have their own village. It was awesome to see. Thanks Mark and Lauren for hosting this event!!!

A few simple easy eco actions you can do right now:
- Marcal Small Steps toilet paper. http://www.marcalsmallsteps.com It is 100% recycled ..I know you are thinking 'ouch, scratchy ol' recycled toilet paper' But is it not scratchy! It is not uber soft but it is much better then recycled toilet paper from back in the day. They have been around since 1950 and have saved million and million trees. Pick N Save carries it and they have it on sale usually every other month. In the Sunday paper coupons, you can find a $1.00 off coupon. And if you go to Pick N Save on Wednesday, it is double coupon day!
- We love our To-Go Ware utensil set. http://to-goware.com It is a bamboo set of a knife, spoon, fork and chopsticks in a pouch (We add a straw too). We keep it in the diaper bag so we always have it when we go out to eat. Then we don't need to use plastic ware!

Eco-Friendly Baby Shower Invite
Here is the invite I sent out for my baby shower. Please feel free to use any or all of it that you would like. I was very happy that I didn't get any negative responds to this very different request. Actually, several guests told me that they had lots of fun finding cool gifts at the resale stores. I also included a list of the local children's resale stores.
Dear Friends and Family,
You have not met me yet but I am baby Boy D*** and I will be arriving very soon. I am so excited to join my mommy and daddy’s life and be the child they have always wanted.
You may know that my daddy is going to school for Environmental and Pollution Control Technologies. He and mommy are really trying to make a better and healthier world for me and everyone else too. I really want to start off my life with a minimal impact on the Earth and a healthy non-toxic environment for me. That is why I want to have an Eco-Friendly Baby Shower. I know that there are so many super cute baby items brand new in the store that you would love to buy for me but most of them are not healthy for me or the environment.
Ways to be Eco-Friendly could include:
• Gently used items from resale and thrift stores. This saves you lots of money, keeps these items and all the new packaging out of the landfills, have less toxins and supports a local business owner! Mommy knows you can find great baby items and toys here because she works at one.
• Wooden toys. Plastic toys and items have lots of yucky chemicals in them.
• Natural and Organic toys, clothes and blankets and Cloth Diapers Not your grandma’s cloth diapers anymore – Check out our registry at JilliansDrawers.com. Use ******@yahoo.com to search for our registry.
• Handmade gifts. Gifts made with love are always better than store bought.
• Wrapping the gift in a recycled way – a blanket, a cloth diaper, the comics, reusable fabric bag, decorative box that can be reused as storage… be creative!
• Homemade frozen meals for mommy and daddy to eat when they are too tired to cook.
• Offering to babysit me. I would love to hang out with you!
• Gift cards to Whole Foods- to buy organic foods for when mommy makes my baby food, The Outpost, any ‘Green’ store and resale stores.
In lieu of a baby shower card, please find a used children’s book and sign it. This will be a great way to start my own library. A wonderful place to find awesome children’s books (and books for you) is at Half-Price Books.
I know this is different than any baby shower you have been to but it is important to me, mommy and daddy. This will give me the best start at my life and also help the Earth! We are registered at Target on-line for a few new items. Thank you for being a part of my life (and mommy’s and daddy’s). I’ll see you soon! Love ya!

Coupon clipping at Bay View Community Center
For those of you that LOVE the coupon packs in the Sunday paper. You gotta check out the great 'class' at the Bay View Community Center (On Oklahoma just west of 794). It is not a class just a get together to clip coupons. People bring in their coupon packs all month to the community center. Then whoever shows up for this 'class' gets to clip what ever coupons they want! It is great! I have gone several times. I was the youngest by about 35 years (and I'm not young). The ladies were very nice and friendly. Check it out and/or drop off your coupon packs when you are done with them. :)

Blue Gold - World Water Wars
http://www.bluegold-worldwaterwars.com/
This is an eye opener of a movie. It is a very scary thought that the world is running out of fresh water. Everyone should see this movie - young, old, rich, poor. We all NEED drinking water to live. We got it on Netflix. My hubby is going to school for Water Technologies - water conservation, disinfection, protection etc... I have so much more appreciation for water and how freely we have access to crystal clear, safe drinking water.
Ways we conserve water in our house:
- We have 3 rain barrels
- Save the running water when we are waiting for the tap water to get hot
- Save the water from rinsing the dishes
- Save the baby's bath water
- Use the dehumidifier water in the washing machine
- Don't water our lawn
- Take 5 minute showers
- Do only full loads in the dishwasher and washing machine
- Be mindful of the water we use and how we can use less
- I know this grosses some people out but if they lived with no clean drinking water they would not think twice about it....In the bathroom 'If it's yellow, let it mellow. If it's brown flush it down.' You will save 1.6 to 3 gallons of water per flush. Just think about how much you would save in a week, month, year, 10 years?? It is your family living in your house. Seeing their pee is not going to harm you any way, shape or form. Why do we use good clean drinking water to flush the toilet???? There is no need for that! Someday we will own a grey water system in our home....
Uses for your saved water:
- Water your vegetable garden and flowers (rain water - no soap)
- Water your compost bin (rain water - no soap)
- Use to flush your toilets (soapy/yucky water)

The Business of Being Born
www.thebusinessofbeingborn.com
This is a FABULOUS documentary on homebirth. Everyone should see this movie (I think I am going to say that about all the documentaries I recommend) This gives such a great view of homebirth and shows the unspoken dangers of hospital birth. I had a home, water birth with my son 1 year ago. It was the most amazing, wonderful, scary, overwhelming event of my life but I would have not wanted it any other way (just a shorter labor - 40 hours was a bit too much).
You don't have to do what everyone else does. You don't have to have your baby in the hospital where you are treated like you are sick and need to be 'helped' my medical interventions. Your body is designed to create life, birth that life and then feed it. Why is all of that being taking away from women? Take back your birthing rights! Have a labor where you can eat (it is needed to give you strength), drink, have supportive people around you, be able to walk around, allow your body to move (this is vital to help the baby move down), not have 14 thousand people looking at your crotch and checking you, be able to birth your baby in any position that feels good to you and have your baby in your arms and at your breast the minute he/she is born. Statistics have proven that homebirths are as safe or safer than hospital births! I would strongly recommend having a qualified Midwife at your birth. They are well trained in how to handle emergencies.
I do own this movie if anyone is interested in watching it. I would love to see it again.
