Rahway Car Show

"Mommy can I drive the cars?...PLEASE!!!!!" -Max

Today we met up a friend in Rahway. We went to see the Rahway Car Show. It was a beautiful day and Max got to see more awesome cars. Rad said you see one car show in the area and you see them all. Who cares we got to go out and Max got to see and touch cars other than his hot wheels. It went rather well...Dean was asleep the whole time nothing new. Max wanted to be carried so I put him in the Boba. The day went well. Summer days are coming and we can't wait!

Breastfeeding and Beyond

Breast is best people even if your a yr, 4 yrs, or 50.

First of all the damn wording is totally wrong. "Are you mom enough?" What the hell is that suppose to mean? I'd like to address some mothers can no longer breastfeed for whatever reason and thats respectable. If we breastfeed or bottle feed our young we do our best. So we are mother ENOUGH regardless we breastfeed to a yr or just 6 months or not at all. For we will do anything for our children. So with that said...Today a cover from TIME MAGAZINE rose with a Mother still breastfeeding her 4 year old child. So? There's nothing wrong in that. There's cultures out there who do not that the luxury of options of formula like we have. America is squeamish about this cover only because of the reason that we do not explore this wonderful option to continue giving nutrition to our older child in fear of being ostracized. Just shut the hell up! God made tits for a reason and it isn't to look at and drool...if youre a baby thats cool lol.

Here's my story...I am a breastfeeding mother of two. a 3.5 yr old and a 4 month old. In my opinion (if mother can) breastfeed as long as possible and or let the chid/baby wean off naturally. Sometimes it does take that long most of the time it doesnt. Who are we to judge and say things like "if the kid can remember/walk/talk/has teeth it should stop." or "its gross. its incestual. When is she gonna cut the umbilical cord?!" Its all about nutrition. My 3.5 yr old sees me breastfeed his younger brother and still remembers and is interested in it. Though he no longer feeds from me if he sees my pumped milk he'd go for it. We are the only "mammals" that do not drink our own milk for nutrition for a long duration wether mothers just lose their milk or in fear of what others may think of them. Breast milk does not expire, its benefits does not stop at 6 months or a yr. the benefits are endless: smarter children, lower risk of onset diabetes, lower risk of asthma and eczema, lower risk of obesity later in life, lower risk of contracting ear infect, cold, flu. So why not protect your children for as long as possible?  In the beginning of time there were no bottle all were breastfed wether it went as long as 4 yrs old or just a yr. its all about nutrition. Nothing about it is sexual! Breast is best people even if your a yr, 4 yrs, or 50.

Dean's Baptism

"Today my Grandson is a Roman Catholic!" -My Mother lol

Today was a busy long day! It is my second son's Baptism. We are Roman Catholic and within less than 6 months we baptize our children. Baptism is one of the sacraments a Roman Catholic goes through. A tradition but also it's meaning is deeper than that. St. Theresa of The Child Jesus in Linden where we got married welcomed our Dean as a new member of the Catholic Church. :D We invite our family and Dean's Godparents! We are truly blessed to have all of them come to witness this important event in our son's life. We thank all our family members from the bottom of our hearts! Afterwards, we went to Hibachi Grille & Supreme Buffet in South Plainfield for dinner. Where I found out Maxwell loves frog legs as much as I do. Dean got passed around given presents, hugs, and kisses! We all had a wonderful time! Again thank you for all who went!

NY International Auto Show

Beep! Beep! Whose got the keys to my Jeep?!

Super excited today was our first big trip as a family of four! We went to New York's International Auto Show. The largest auto show in America I believe. I'm honestly not the person to talk to about cars, but I sure enjoy seeing new automobiles and seeing my guys have fun! :D Boys are gonna love their cars! So we drove there and thank God no traffic! We enjoyed going from one show room to another. So many different new cars for the year of 2012. Max ran around going from one car to another. So did Rad! Dean was great throughout the whole trip. Now what a great baby! We all got time going into cars we wanted to check out and we got lots of photos! Extremely tired so here's the photos! I can't wait to go to next years NY International Auto Show!

Max and I :D
