While browsing the Breastfeeding forum at MDC today, the following google ad caught my eye:
Tee hee… not quite sure if that’s exactly the type of pump nursing mums are looking for, but thanks for the recommendation anyway!

Have a look at what Mr. Postman brought for littlepixie last week, a beautiful Nest hatchling sling so she can carry her dollies/bears around. I entered a giveaway a few months ago at Mama Speaks, and won, but my poor little hatchling got lost in the post
Ashlee of Nest Baby Slings and Mama [...]

We’re moving house. hopefully very soon!
Mr. HPP’s job moved to a village just outside the city, resulting in a very long bike commute for him. It’s not too bad now with all the general pleasantness of cycling in summer, but in the winter, brrrr… He cycles along the coast road which even now has a [...]

Today I’ve been inspired by Danielle at New Mommy Rant to continue my virtual housekeeping. I checked for and repaired deadlinks 2 weeks ago so they should be grand, I still have to divide my blogroll into easier-to-manage sections, I have a few new blogs to add to it. I had a look at other [...]

I have an online shopping problem, you all know that. Here are the latest fruits of my shopping labours… two new books for Littlepixie, ah selfless guilt-free shopping, the best kind!
The two books are “I am a Little monkey” and “I am a little elephant” both by Francois Crozat.
Littlepixie loves monkeys and elephants and [...]

I’ve been following a thread on MDC where people have been adding links to their favourite breastfeeding images, be they photos, paintings, sketches, statues, advertisements, public awareness campaigns or jewellery.
But as with all threads on such busy forums, this one will eventually start to slip into the archives, so I thought I would take [...]

My latest post for API Speaks, this one’s for all the wonderful dads!
I’ve been thinking recently about how important Attachment Parenting is to fathers.
Many men seem to feel helpless and left out when it comes to the whole process of pregnancy, birth and those early weeks with a new baby. Mother and baby are like [...]

My latest post on The Veggie Blog, reposted here for your enjoyment!
Since entering the wonderful world of babies, I’ve become much more aware of the constant barrage of animal stereotypes.
Almost every baby book has the same pictures: happy pigs in their pens, chickens pecking contentedly in the barn, cows munching on green grass while their [...]

We visited Brigit’s Garden today courtesy of Littlepixie’s grandparents and their car. LP enjoyed her first trip in her new carseat. It’s a shame the gardens are so far out of Galway and not served by public transport as they are beautiful and we’d love to go there every weekend.
There are four gardens there, one [...]

Steph over at Adventures in Babywearing is hosting a little mini-carnival to let everyone share their slings! Littlepixie is getting heavy and prefers to run around now so I don’t use mine as much as I used to but here is a peek at them… each is well-loved and has served us well!
