Last night at the 28th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, Chrissy Teigen gushed about the possibility of expanding her family with a little boy, with husband, John Legend. Her daughter, Luna, now 9 ½ months has been a joy for them both.
...I can't tell you how amazed, humbled and hopeful I've become in the last week. Between the petition we started for Provision 207 and the Women's March yesterday I feel like I have renewed purpose. The Women's March was everything we needed!
...There has been lots of political discussion around ending of the Affordable Care Act (ACA or Obamacare) for some time. Now that Republicans have taken control of Congress and the Senate it may soon be a reality.
...During the annual baptism ceremony, this past Sunday, Pope Francis, encouraged women attending to openly breastfeed.
...Strapping a loud, clunky electronic breast pump to yourself or using a manual breast pump can be such a headache. Nevermind when you're out in public or at the office when others can hear it.
...The New Year is quickly approaching and this is a great time for making resolutions and wishes for the year ahead. Some moms make resolutions for eating better, losing baby weight, or saving money – but when you’re a mom and taking care of your family – sometimes thinking more simply can be more rewarding.
...With the spirit of the holiday season in full-swing – what are the biggest things you’ve asked for this year? Here’s a quick look at my wish list this year.
...
1:(r)An employer shall provide—
(A) a reasonable break time for an employee to express breast milk for her nursing child for 1 year after the child’s birth each time such employee has need to express the milk; and
(B) a place, other than a bathroom, that is shielded from view and free from intrusion from coworkers and the public, which may be used by an employee to express breast milk.
2: An employer shall not be required to compensate an employee receiving reasonable break time under paragraph (1) for any work time spent for such purpose.
3: An employer that employs less than 50 employees shall not be subject to the requirements of this subsection, if such requirements would impose an undue hardship by causing the employer significant difficulty or expense when considered in relation to the size, financial resources, nature, or structure of the employer’s business.
