Today is the last day of World Breastfeeding Week. But August if World Breastfeeding Month – so be sure to check back throughout the month for more celebrations of motherhood! I wanted to use today’s post to remind you our contest (which ends today) and to share with you some great articles that I have found around different parts of the blogosphere.
Our Contest: Thank you so much for helping us celebrate our Jewelry For Motherhood launch. We are so excited to be carrying a line of jewelry just for moms. We are still looking for some great ideas on what to name our pendant – and the author of the winning name gets a pendant for helping us out. And don’t forget – we are giving away FOUR other pendants as well – so be sure to stop by and visit our launch page for a chance to win. This contest ends TODAY.

And my round-up of hilarious breast news, including “bebe gloton” and the naked Angelina Jolie breastfeeding statue. I’d love some feedback there!

Thank you for making WBW just that much more interesting.
I have been blogging nothing but boobs this week, or so it seems. I didn’t know there was a carnival going on. I’ll have to go look at it.
Thank you, and Happy World Breastfeeding Week!
Be well.
