World Breastfeeding Week Giveaway, Ends 8/15

August 1st through August 7th is 2016's World Breastfeeding Week. 2016's theme is about how breastfeeding is a key element in getting us to think about how to value our wellbeing from the start of life, how to respect each other and care for the world we share. My breastfeeding journey has been one of the most precious times of my life.


Supporting a mother who chooses to breastfeeding their child is key to their success. When a nursing mother is judged, shamed, denied time or a place to feed their baby it is not only effecting that child's growth but that mother's mindset of their breastfeeding experience. This week highlights a women choice to breastfeed and all things that go along with that choice.

Mom Life Fashion. Yoga Pants. Leggings. And Nursing Tops. Enough Said.
But you can still make mom life fashionable if you buy stylish leggings and nursing tops. I was recently introduced to Udderly Hot Mama Nursing and Pumping Wear. I was sent the Whimsical Wrap Nursing Top in Navy to review. Not only is this top SUPER cute, but it is VERY soft as well.
