We love Terra Toys

Terra Toys is in north Austin on Anderson Ln.

An awesome toy store that closely monitors its inventory lots of american made toys as well as the coveted line of Brio toys. This is the rockin bathroom. It has alot of local soft goods (clothing and blankets) and a terrific book section with a reading table; there are also lots of fun demos around the store.

Little Stacy Park

Little Stacy Park is located in Travis Heights in the heart of south Austin on Sunset Ln. and Eastside Dr.

It's just that the little part of Stacy Park is probably one of the most beautiful parks in Austin (of course not including Town Lake /Zilker). It has an awesome wading pool for the little kids and a big pool for the bigger ones that are seperate. They are both spring fed and the playground is awesome; it is situated under some very old live oaks that are just phenomnal to look under, they are quite amazing trees and create great shade for the park. Extremely bf-friendly (all of south Austin is), this is quite a jewl of a park and definately a well kept secret.

Breast Feeding in Austin area parks

I love Austin area parks ! There are so many and I just seem to find a cool new park every week. This past weekend the family (the 3 of us) took an impromptu picnic to Dittmar recreation center, down in south Austin. I love their playground it has this beautiful, huge live oak towering over the whole playground. The trunk is terrific for climbing. There is even a picnic table under it, opposite the playground. We however ventured down the hill, beside the playing fields there are also great picnic areas with grills and everything. We had tuna salad so no need for the grill. It was a perfect lunch and Burger even topped off lunch with a little ninny. Another beautiful sunday in Austin Texas .

About B.O.O.B.

B.O.O.B. is committed to supporting breastfeeding mothers everywhere. B.O.O.B. is an online community conversation, both practical and philosophical, about how our society does and does not support breastfeeding. While the American Association of Pediatrics advocates that all infants are breastfed until they are at least one year of age, our social mores often prevent a mother from feeding her child in public without being leered at, or at worst, fined for indecent exposure. To date only 38 states have laws protecting a mother's right to breastfeed her child wherever and whenever the child is hungry. The purpose of the B.O.O.B. project is to show which places have embraced breastfeeding, and are currently helping to better integrate it into our society. B.O.O.B. seeks to let new mothers easily find these locations throughout Austin, Texas, and beyond.

Who started B.O.O.B.?

B.O.O.B. is an interactive, site-specific, utilitarian, and philosophical artwork begun by Belle South founder Chasity Gordon and new media artist Jessica Gomula. The project explores the question of where in Austin would visiting breastfeeding mothers be welcome to nurse during the South By South West Interactive conference. They believe the easy to use, and easy to integrate Google-map will be a welcome resource for the mothers attending SXSW, and more importantly, as a long term resource for all new mothers living in the Austin area.
