Magical Milk Pic-O-The-Week goes to Haiti!


I have received some wonderful pics from Beth McHoul of Heartline Ministries. For a little insight the victories they are seeing with their women's program, go here and here.

I'm going to do several weeks focusing on this program in Haiti. Breastfeeding in Haiti is all too rare, seen as an inconvenience and not something the culture perpetuates. Sound familiar?

As I post these pictures, realize that Beth reads my blog and will pass along your comments of encouragement. Send your friends over every Tuesday to love all over these women who are giving their babies the best in a world that says, "Eh. Not so much."

Kristen is listing purses on Etsy made by the women in the program. Get over there. As of this morning, there were only four left. GO! GO!!!! (FYI: Got mine in last week - LOVE IT!)

Tag it, Stumble It, Blog it, link to it, Digg It - whatever! Just do what you can to uplift these women.

Whenever I see the beautiful breast-feeding pics I am a little sad. My babies are too big now and I sure do miss nursing.
What gorgeous little ones.

Aw...what a familiar scene. I can't count the number of times my little guy's fingers have worked their way into my mouth while he nurses.

Way to go, Moms. :)

Well if it is not the usual thing I'd like to say I'm PROUD of these moms for doing what is best for their babies!!! I love the bags. I'm having a hard time choosing which one I want. I have to go back and look again.

Oooh, can't pass up on a purse! I just ordered mine - the Hobo bag - will work great for a combo purse/diaper bag, I'm sure!

I just nursed my daughter a couple hours ago and she had her hand in my mouth just like that - I love this stage!!!

Beautiful women, beautiful babies, beautiful way to nourish our young!

I worked so hard to nurse my adopted baby. It is such a simple thing that many people take for granted.
