Better In The Landfill Than In My Kid’s Stomach

January 28th, 2010

Candy.  The amount of candy that has entered our household since Jackson came around is amazing.  I don’t remember having this problem before having babies, so I guess that having kids means candy suddenly becomes abundant.  There is candy at every holiday, every birthday party, every get-together, and it all ends up at our house!  [...]

Mom Does It All

January 26th, 2010

Scene:  Everyone in the house has just eaten a delicious meal that I prepared.  John is on the couch watching TV, Archer is playing with the tupperware in the drawer by my feet, and Jackson is playing Super Mario World on John’s old Super Nintendo.  I am doing dishes, wiping down counters, cleaning the high [...]

I’m a Good Mom!

January 26th, 2010

Lately, it has been on my mind, the importance of having some sort of support group around for motherhood. When I had my first son at age 22, I was not ready for the mother role, but life brought me a baby, and a mother was what I had to be. It’s not that I [...]

Wear Him Everywhere!

January 21st, 2010

I’m always writing about sewing slings, but I have yet to write about why I love baby wearing. I’m so happy I discovered it with my second son. There’s so much more to it than just having a different way to tote your baby around. It creates convenience in so many situations and helps create [...]

Come see what I’m doing over here!

January 19th, 2010

I have started another website! This one is going to be a joint effort between myself and a few other lovely people. Things are barely started, but I’d love it if you would take a look at what I’m doing. The basic idea is to have one place to find resources within Indiana that support [...]

New Life

January 14th, 2010

January 16 is coming up, and we all know what’s so important about that day, right? Well, the first thing that comes to my mind is it’s the birthday of a friend I had in elementary school. It’s weird how I remember stuff like that, but I can’t remember to get my teeth brushed before [...]

The Shape of a Mother

January 9th, 2010

Last night my friend showed me the website The Shape of a Mother. It is dedicated to “letting out the secret” about how a woman’s body looks while pregnant and postpartum–imperfections and all. Here is the story of how it all got started. One day I sat in a restaurant in Anaheim, California eating breakfast, [...]

The Babies Are Coming

January 8th, 2010

Babies is a new documentary coming out that follows four babies from 4 different countries from birth to their first steps. The places range from Japan and Mongolia to San Francisco and Namibia. I just watched the trailer and had the biggest smile on my face for the duration of the entire thing. I can’t [...]

I know, I know

January 5th, 2010

I can’t just stick with a “look” for my website. There are millions upon millions of themes to choose from, and making a decision on just one has been pretty hard for me. Well, the previous one I had I liked, but making changes within the code was difficult for me. It wasn’t a simple [...]

Detachment Parenting

January 4th, 2010

So. Let’s talk detachment parenting. We’ve got these parents that have babies, right? And these parents (the ones I’m referring to) want their babies. These parents maybe even tried and tried again for these babies. But, once said baby arrives, it’s a dance to keep baby content without any REAL contact. I’m talking contact from [...]
