Breastfeeding In Public

Image
Written By: Felecia Causey Photography: Felecia Causey Many people are very offended at the sight of a mother breastfeeding her baby in public. The top reasons after reading and researching is people found it inappropriate and they felt seeing it would make them uncomfortable. After many years on the controversy of breastfeeding in public, there are still many negative reactions. It has become such a big deal that it has caused many women nursing their babies to be kicked out public places all over the world.  The many viral social media rants from moms of being mistreated, is a constant reminder of how many people and businesses don't agree on public breastfeeding. Women must be brave to breastfeed her baby outside of her comfort zone. She can be self conscious, but take pride in choosing her baby's need before the negativity she will face on this nursing journey. Many moms are not trying to make anyone feel uncomfortable but want to feed their baby

  I really enjoyed my stay at the Hyatt Regency The Wynfrey Hotel in Birmingham, Al. The Wynfrey Hotel, is connected to the Galleria Mall, which provides accessibility to an excellent shopping experience. If you’re tired from a long trip you can easily relax in one of the hotel's spacious room. The Wynfrey is a great hotel that provides immaculate service to all families and businesses alike. The hotel is very appealing both inside and out.   The hospitality in the hotel is excellent , and the location is very convenient as far as quick shopping, a variety of different restaurants choices, and other personal needs.  The rooms were very clean with high quality linens. The beds were very comfortable. They offer steaks and drinks downstairs at the famous Shula’s Steakhouse along with the bar.  Overall a very excellent hotel, and I will recommend a stay there. You won't be disappointed. My family enjoyed This is a 4 star hotel that should be a 5 star!!!!!!!!!

Overcoming A Fear of Flying

Image
My name is Aisha Griffin and I am a resident of Montgomery, Al. Throughout my 33 years of life, I've had to fight many battles and domestic violence was one. I went through a lot at such a young age, causing me to have an eternal shut down. I never wore my feelings, and pretending had become natural. As I became of age to have my own personal relationship with men, I honestly didn't know what to expect because I had not been shown. It's a saying that a father can be the first man to break his daughter heart, and I agree. My father and I have a relationship up until this day, but it's not the kind I would prefer it to be. As I got older I had certain expectations of him, and it always was a let down. But that was my daddy, and I loved him. I carried that same forgiving love into my own relationships. Of course the abuse started off small in the verbal stage, but abuse is abuse. I got immune to it, and it became a normal part of my life. It's only natural when in

Latasha and daughter Brianna In today's  society everyone have this perception of what true beauty looks like. However, everyone is beautiful  in their own  unique way! As an elementary student my daughter was ridiculed for being dark skin with the kinky coily hairy. She began to feel that her beauty was inferior to those classmates, passing judgment.   Shortly after she wanted to change her appearance to resemble the bullying classmates to become more

Featuring:Moms With Twins

  Photos By: Felecia Causey The discovery that you are having twins can be thrilling, shocking, and even overwhelming.  I am sure many parents starred in disbelief at their ultrasound.  The number of twins being born has increased, and people are still just amazed at their cute little faces.  Many women as myself even fantasize about having twins. I recently met a few moms who shared what it felt like to have twins and/or how it changed their life. Cameron with her sons Caleb and Caiden   "My life as a mother with twins has been life changing. I had my twins when I was 18 years old a high school senior trying to graduate. I thank God everyday for my support system, they the main ones that helped me these 4 years. Having a set of twins is 10x harder especially being a single parent. Yes it's very exciting to experience carrying two little people at once, but with excitement comes problems. Carrying twins is a high risk pregnancy and with just a little

I Only Work Here

I absolutely enjoyed working in customer service. I loved meeting the new people, and there was always something going on every shift. There were some good and bad days, but I learn a while back that it was the attitude I "chose" to have to determine what my day would be like. I decided to turn what myself and many other workers would like customers to know into a letter.

Isn't My Money Green Too

Written By: Felecia Causey Have you ever emailed someone who work, product, or service you loved, and they didn't respond back? Have you ever went into a local business and they treated you like your business was irrelevant?  Have you visited a family owned restaurant, and the usual regular customers are greeted friendly, and you receive the cold shoulder, and it made you feel like you just invaded a private gathering? I am sure if you haven't said yes to one of these questions, you have experienced something similar. I know you work very hard for your money, and you take pride in who or where you spend it. I remember I had a gift certificate to receive a massage, at one of the most well known spa in Montgomery, AL, but the customer service was so horrible, I requested a refund immediately. Customer service is everything, rather it's a beautician or restaurant owner.  Treating every customer like they are valuable, just like their money is the same color as eve

What To Wear For Maternity Photos

Image
Written By: Felecia Causey "What I should wear", is the question I am mostly asked.  When selecting what to wear, can be a hard decision for any photo session, and adding a belly with the pregnancy hormones, can make it feel maybe a little more harder. You will one day look back on your pictures, so when you choose your wardrobe make sure it is flattering and captures your vision. Maternity designers and boutiques owners have really fueled the styles and have given soon to be moms empowerment to want to show off their bellies. If you plan to purchase something to wear for your maternity session, do remember your bump is the center of attention for your photos. You may choose to show your belly, I recommend bandeau bras, bikini tops, or fabric that you may use to cover your cleavage, as for as to cover your bottom with maybe a tutu, blue jeans, full skirt or fabric, transformed into a skirt. If you are deciding to opt out

Just Have Fun Doing A Couple Photoshoot

Image
I feel there are several reasons couples should value the opportunity of taking more sessions together.  It will give them chances to reconnect and capture their feelings in each photo. Many people will be nervous, but should relax and just have fun. If candid shots will break the ice, make sure you voice that to your photographer. Dress to impress and try adding color in your photos, but keep it simple. If you decide you want to change wardrobe,  maybe do one formal and one casual. When selecting a location choose a spot that shows you all personality.  If you're not comfortable with being affectionate with people in public, select a quite spot or a location where there aren't many spectators. You don't have to have a special occasion to capture your love for each other. Make a whole date and start if off with a photo session.
