Every year we go to New Orleans for Thanksgiving to see my husband’s family and enjoy this amazing city. We love the family, we love the food, we love the music and Sophia…she will love the beads.
I know this because for our annual gumbo party here in Charlotte we provide beads and sparkly masks for all the kids and any grown ups who drink enough hurricanes to think these treats are for them. These beads and sparkly masks have provided Sophia and all her friends with hours of fun for the last year as she gets glammed up and looks like a Superhero with a very gaudy jewerly collection. From her first birthday on she has adored these beads.
Here is Sophie with her beads on her birthday and her friend Charlie at a barbeque a few months ago. These beads are quite the hot ticket.
Now, to buy these beads in Charlotte was not as cheap as I had hoped and so I started thinking…If only those Bourbon street beads would be given to breastfeeding mommies when the girls pop out for lunchtime, we would be set for this year. If I just nursed on Bourbon street the 6-8 times a day that Miles eats every day for the 5 days we are there I would have more than 30 glamorous necklaces for the kids to wear at no cost to myself!
Before breastfeeding I never bared my breasts for the public but if it must happen, it would be nice to get some jewelry for it…don’t you think?
