Our recent cake sale in the park raised a brilliant £65 for LLLJapan! Many thanks to all those lovely mamas who baked for the sale and of course to everyone who came along and donated so generously. Especially popular were Sally's luscious lemon drizzle cake and Sadie's awesome organic fruit scones! I also hear that the butternut squash fairy cakes went down a storm with the kids, so whoever baked them - please let me have the recipe and I will blog it here, if that's OK.
As well as our monthly meetings at Francis Lodge, I am also planning some more meets in the park whilst the sun is shining - so see below and come along for a very informal LLL in the fresh air - especially great if you have older ones who need to run off some youthful exuberance.
The next meetings in Wimbledon Park will be on Fridays:
20 May and 17 June from about 11.30, so bring a picnic blanket & basket and have your lunch al fresco -there are a couple of picnic benches too, and plenty of shade in the fenced play area. As the park is public, Dads and other family members are welcome to join us too.
Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Dates for LLL Portsmouth Meetings 2011
Tuesdays 12.30-2.30pm
3 May ~ 7 June ~ 5 July
The next 3 series meetings will all be at Francis Lodge on Heidelberg Road. Our new home has a kitchen for making drinks in the corner so you can grab a cuppa and still keep an eye on your toddlers, and has a comfy sofa for those marathon early days nursings. As the Lodge is an out-centre for Brambles Children Centre, they kindly let us have use of their toys so there are plenty of things to entertain your babies and starting in May there will be a craft activity for toddlers & preschoolers (with a little help from Mamas) so that we can chat & keep them involved.
The meetings at the Lodge run 12.30-2.30 so feel free to bring a packed lunch. Meetings will always be free to all - donations to the group funds are always welcome however and help keep our supply of drinks, leaflets and (free to borrow) library of breastfeeding books up to date. Mamas attending meetings are also encouraged to bring a contribution towards healthy snacks - a banana or an apple to be cut up for our little ones all to share is more than enough - if we all bring something small, there is plenty to go around. Mamas who enjoy baking are also wholeheartedly encouraged to share their talent with the group!!!
I look forward to seeing you!

Breastfeeding = Breastfeeding
This is a great article - I'm hoping that lots of Portsmouth & Southsea mums will stumble across it!
Stay with it to the end - she has some great points and I for one hope I can be as open as she advocates to all styles of mothering.
