Breastfeeding Mother Charged with Contempt

I read this news article the other day and I am so very very torn on the subject. I’m sure I’ll get flamed for whatever I have to say but I can honestly see both sides of this story. It’s hard when your baby is breastfed and a difficult child. I get that. I have gone through a time when she didn’t want the bottle. She would scream and put up a fight. 

But listen. If your child is under 6 months old then yes, fine, by all means, they are suggesting waiting on introducing solids, you should be able to get out of jury duty. However, in this case, your child is 7 months old. Therefore said child should be able to (and should!) be having some sort of solids. So you are telling me they can’t have some solids in between you nursing before going in, during breaks, and after jury duty? You are just being lazy. It’s your civil duty as a citizen. You are also telling me that you have NO ONE who is willing to help you out for a day and watch your little one? Maybe I am just blessed by people around me but it seems a little farfetched to me that there is no one available to help you out for a day. I’m sure someone would love spending time with your little one. You were already pardoned once so just bite the bullet this time. It seems like a whole lot of excuses going on here.

I’m not sure why this aggravates me quite as much as it does but arg. Also, I’m sure I don’t know all the details. There could be a very understandable explanation but as of right now, I really just don’t get it.

Munchtober!

I’ve decided October is officially Munchtober in this house and I’m trying to take a fall pic every day of her. What are your favorite things about fall? I’ve been trying to generate some ideas.

•  Leaves
• The park
• Pumpkins
• Apples
• Apple Cider
• Candy Corn
• Halloween
• Farms
• Pies
• Hay bales
• Tractors
• Mums

So I've been posting them daily on Instagram ( peacedancelove) Follow me! I'd love to see your fall inspired pics as well!

Zzzzzz....

I just don’t get it. I’m tired. I’m exhausted. I can’t do anything. I accidentally fall asleep during her naps or lack thereof all the time and I get nothing done. I work at night way past her bedtime so most nights I don’t get to bed till closer to midnight. I almost feel like we’ve tried it all. Anyone else experience this sudden want to not sleep? She was doing fine and was sleeping great through the night. It was awesome! Tell me all your baby sleep secrets. …please? She is so tired but just screams and screams. I don’t know what to do. I feel so helpless. I don’t know how to fix it and to make her happy. Is it normal for an 8 month old to be like this? She’s so darn cute it makes me sad to see her so upset. I guess I just wanted to vent. And tell you I'm still alive and still enjoy blogging (of course) so hopefully (If she decides sleep is not the enemy) you'll be seeing me a whole lot more again. Yay!

School's in Session!

September always makes me think of school so what better wordless Wednesday than some ABC's?!

Pretty Little Liars

Let’s talk favorite TV shows for a minute shall we? Please tell me I’m not the only one obsessed over Pretty Little Liars. I started watching it on a whim on Netflix and now I am hooked. Not only is the plot amazing (I love me a good mystery!) but the actors and actresses and the costumes have me hooked as well. I was curious the other day and went on to their instagrams (Add me! Peacedancelove)…creepy, I know. But. It was awesome to see some of their pictures as just normal people having fun and living day to day like any of us. Most of the time you only see the media and what they want portrayed of them and hardly ever see the real genuine person. They seem fun to hang out with. That’d be pretty awesome. Oh, and apparently, most of them have really cute dogs and a really cute cat.

Anyway. Costumes. Ermagerd the costumes. Mandi Line is basically a genius. Whenever I watch I constantly wish I could have awesome clothes like them and have the style sense to match things together. Let's be real. I love fashion but most days I live in my pjs till I put my work clothes on. woo! They all seem so put together, even when they aren’t. I love the uniqueness of their style as well. Here’s some of my favorites! (And apparently I really like Lucy's style).

 I also really love Shay's boots in this outfit. I could never pull it off but they look awesome on her.

Who is excited for the Summer Finale tonight? World War A. Can't wait to see what happens and see the finale fashions!
