Happy Earth Day! The Leaky B@@b is all about taking care of the earth, breastfeeding is good for the environment. Somehow, I’m sure it is. Anyone have info on that? I’m sure it is out there but I don’t have time to go hunting for it right now.

Anyway, it’s not Tuesday but it is Earth Day. We moved Kids Eat Free! this week to today for a special Earth Day give-away. If we were a real pub we might serve green beer, that’s not just a St. Patty’s Day thing, right? It seems appropriate. Not that nasty food coloring chemicals are earth friendly, so maybe not. Instead we’ll enjoy this wonderful give-away from Tami of Bug ‘n Ed is offering up an online gift code worth $15! Beautiful handmade, earth-friendly items that you will love to care for your home and family come from this WAHMs dedication. Kitchen towels (instead of paper towels), cloth wipes, designer burp cloths, and precious lovies are my favorite of her offerings. In fact, I personally have her burp cloths, wipes, a lovey and a large blanket lovey. They are beautiful, soft and my favorite cloth wipes on the planet that also make luxurious wash cloths. The winner of this gift code for $15 can apply it towards anything in Tami’s shop or even a custom order. What a treat and a great to celebrate Earth Day!

Woohoo! It’s my birthday today! So, instead of our Tuesday Night Special- Kids Eat Free, we’re doing Birthday Party- Kids Eat Free instead. I’m so excited about today’s give-aways too, seriously, stoked. I’m also stoked about the Charlotte au chocolat (atdf chocolate French layer cake) that The Piano Man is making me (and I’m not supposed to know about) but since I can’t exactly share that with you we’ll just stick with these. Because there are 2. Sweet, huh?

First is a little knitted cotton summer vest or shrug custom made by me. Since I don’t want to take more than a week to get it out to the winner, it will have to be a size 2 or smaller. You will have some color and design choices. I don’t have a good picture of the vest but here’s one to give you an idea. By the way, this is a big deal, I don’t knit for other people too often. Sorry for the crummy pic, I haven’t gotten a good shot of this little sweater but I promise it is cute.

(Smunchie wearing a SlingBaby tshirt while sleeping in a bouncy seat. Kind of funny, right?)

Second give-away, and the one I wish I could enter myself, is for a Kid Tei by Shanna of Sweet Slings! The winner will get to chose the fabric for the main body of the carrier from a selection of adorable kid prints including puppy dogs, monkeys, owls, and birds. They are super cute too. The Piano Man and I got Lolie one of Shanna’s Kid Teis for her birthday last month and we all just love it. By the way, visit my personal blog for more on babywearing.

Some Kid Teis in action:

(Shrek, Christmas bears and dogs like to be worn too.)

My name’s Jessi and you’ll probably see me around quite a bit as a regular contributor for The Leaky Boob.  The world needs more laughter and smiles when it comes to boobs and the babies who claim them for months or even years at a time as their own personal all-you-can-eat buffet.  You can find me over at Talk Less, Dance More usually, although, lately I’ve been slacking majorly in the blog department.  Forgive me, I’ve got a lot on my plate these days.  Stop by and read one day if you’re bored or curious what life in China is like for the American mother of a 2 year old expecting twins.

Living in China and being the natural/crunchy mama that I am, I find a lot of impromptu moments to educate young women here about breastfeeding, natural parenting and birth.  A week or two ago I was having a conversation about the impending birth of our twins and the adventures in breastfeeding that I am sure we’ll encounter with a 20something year old Chinese girl friend.  A very strange look came over her face and she asked,”Oh my gosh!  How will you breast feed TWO babies at the same time?!”

I looked down at my chest, pointed to one boob, then the other and counted to two.  I looked up, gave her a wink and a grin and said, “With my two boobs…?”

She immediately dissolved into a fit of laughter and then hugged me and said, “You are so wise… and brave, and I think maybe a little crazy.  Good thing it is not 3 babies!”

So we’re new, very, very new. But we need a make-over. Because we’re boring. Not the content, no, we are, after all, a breastfeeding pub. What could be boring about a breastfeeding pub? Nothing. Obviously. Except the look of our blog. These walls are bare, our sign doesn’t flash and the tables are super blah. There aren’t even any table clothes for gosh sakes! Oh yeah, we are a pub, table clothes are optional. But we still need a make-over. Extreme style.

So I want to win this!
