After a great cold open where Ryan tries to show off how seriously he's mourning the loss of Smokey Robinson, in this week's episode of The Office, we spend a little time at work before everyone heads to a big fundraiser thrown by Angela's senator husband.

Lots of moms like to think out loud and CherylDee is one of them. Here is an excerpt from her latest post to From Lipsticks to Baby Bottles. As the title suggests, (breastfeeding) is what I'd like to talk about. While still admitted at the hospital, the nurses and the breastfeeding expert helped so much with getting Kiara to latch on.
