While Feeding the Sleeping Dragon This Morning

While feeding the Sleeping Dragon this morning, I discovered this picture on Hallmark's humor blog:

Baby Carrots Are a Lie

I was horrified to find out recently that baby carrots are a lie.  They are not, in fact, just young carrots or carrots that grow smaller.  They are, in fact, shaved and shaped grown-up carrots.

No, they are not making baby carrots.

Going through old boxes, I just discovered a Washington Post in which Pope Benedict XVI and I share the front page.  I never realized how awesome my life is until now.

In Which We Take a Risk

Happy Easter, my dear 3.14 readers! This year the Captain and I brought a tiny baby to all three of the Triduum services. Rather than immerse myself in the sensual experience that is these three days, I spent most of the liturgies either feeding a baby or keeping her quiet. So I simply found one spiritual anchor to cling to each night.

A Happy Nursing Story

I often, too often, encounter up-in-arms, negative stories about women's experiences nursing in public.  I want to share a happy story, because those exist too.

Tunnel Vision

You know those times when disasters strike, and your Facebook newsfeed fills up with people commenting on it as well as those people who compare it to abortion? Maybe it's just me, since I'm just friends with too many vociferously pro-life people. It happens -- "Terrorists kill 1000 people in Africa" -- and the Internet response is "But you know who kills almost 1000 people EVERY DAY? Planned Parenthood!"
