    I think I just pulled a muscle rolling my eyes at that Pacific Standard article on exclusive pumping. I’d love to meet an exclusively pumping mom who does it because it’s “convenient.” What a crock.

    I just hosted a party for 19 six-year-olds at my house. This is one of those personal accomplishments I’d love to put on my resumee.

    Hey Kat, Open Thread on the weekend for Moms? Just an idea.
