A day at work at Mothering.

Here's a wonderful slideshow of a day at work at Mothering, featuring several breastfeeding moms and babies.

Seeing the older kids playing reminded me of going to my friend Anna's parents' workplace - also a magazine - after school.  We used to hang out for the afternoon, reading on the bean bag chairs, snacking, and playing on the shag carpet.  Can you tell that this was the '70s?  Her mother was the children's book editor and had piles and piles of advance copies which we could read.  It just hit me recently how special that was, and how rare it must be today.

Very rare indeed. Something to treasure and not take for granted that's for sure. I enjoyed watching, it gave me a warm fuzzy feeling all over.

OMG!!!! Where do I sign up for that job? Honestly - those women are so lucky!!! I am sad to say that having children is sort of frowned upon in the company I work for. You know, children get sick, parents call out, and the company makes less money. Also, if you call out due to your child's illness, as well as your own, it is counted against you, and you could lose your job. Sad, but true. I am so happy that those women (and their children) are in that type of environment, and that the parents are free to work AND be parents instead of being forced to choose.

Wow! What a great work environment. I wish more companies offered such a great benefit, and that I could work for one!
