Burnt

If you are a pumping gal, you know that every once in a while you have to replace valves and such. 

So I ordered some from the Amazing online place. They didn't fit (hmm) so I thought I would try the recommendation of the package and boil them (maybe) that would make them shrink ?

Well this is what I got when I boiled them.  

 

A stinky house and fried valves. 

Don't try this at home people. 

Now the question is do I order another set on amazing or run to the store. 

Yeah the smoke detector alerted me of the issue first. 

WIW -- breastfeeding

So in the beginning of our breastfeeding journey we wore a lot of tanks

 Now that I'm back to work and it's getting much colder, I need to invest in a couple things for the BF journey. 

So I've heard other people try Mamas milk  box, so I thought I would give it a try. 


So in my profile I asked for  a dress option, work appropriate tops and something casual for the weekend. I mentioned I work in a world HQ, with daily interactions with senior management. I also pump 3-4 times a day at work.

So here goes Dress #1

  

fail--didn't like the material at all, it was super awkwardly wide and got shorter if you put your hands into the pockets. Back it went. 

Casual hoodie  ( wine color )

Well I kept it, needed something long sleeve. It is a thin material.  My thought is it will shrink in the wash.

Dress#2 

 

While it is cute, I didn't dig it for our weather, while the stylist suggested wearing a blazer with it. It is a really thin material. Also lacking the business attire look. So back it went.


This is their "grey - t-shirt.  

While the material is comfortable, it was soo long. The  flap/top also didn't set well on my  bust. It looked very choppy.  Back it went.




Teal V-neck.

I kept it. I will have to wear with sweater, blazer, etc. It is not a material I would choose to wear to work, but for now it will have to do. I'll call it nice t-shirt material.


I did get a top I already had. I purchased from them-- in their outlet - sold as they only had a few left. I was shocked to get in the box. Well it went back too.


I did get one top ( picture didn't make it ) It was white and black -- The only print. It was wide, and had zippers to nurse. It was comfortable, but the sleeves were weird, and felt like I was getting choked.  So back it went.


I will give it one more try, I made comments & suggestions to them. I hope they read/listen to them. I was disappointed that most items do not have washing instructions in them ( or tell you what material they are )


Here's a dazzler from me & the bebe. I told her make your funny face.
