Absence

I'm sure it's really only been a few days since I blogged (I didn't look) but it feels like I've been away for a while.  Just busy.  Busy busy busy. Mara isn't sleeping well so therefore neither am I.  Exhausting but no better job in the world.

My hair went a little bit crazy the other day. 

Mara sat up in a shopping cart like a big girl all by her big girl self:

God she's so effing CUTE!!!!!

Talking to grandma

After a rough night of no sleep for me and very little sleep for corky, I deposited Mara in bed with him while I got ready for our garage sale, and when I came back I saw that. Aw!

Painted my toenails for the first time in half a year. 

I went on a rant about this on Instagram the other day. I HATE wearing my nursing cover when I'm in public.  Mara hates it too. She always flings it off.  Why should my innocent, sweet baby have to cover her head while she eats?  We don't eat with napkins or blankets over our faces as adults, so why should babies?  It's not their fault that society has objectified women's bodies to the point that some people can't keep their minds out of the gutters enough to remember that the original purpose of breasts was, in fact, to FEED BABIES, not be sexual playthings for others!  I wear a nursing cover in public only because it's "the norm" but I wish I didn't have to.  Maybe someday I won't have to anymore.  And if someone takes offense to it then they can go hide under a blanket until my baby is done eating!
