Last Day of Dursing: Part Two

Yeah, I know. Preach it to me. Part One was almost two weeks ago. But in my defense, I hardly have reason to believe you’ve been on the edge of your seats waiting for the oh-so-exciting conclusion. And then I had a crazy weekend. And then my Internet broke.
Well, scoot […]

Cheap ‘n Easy: Tasty Toddler Lunches

I mentioned before that Olivia loves her grilled cheese. Well, like all good things this phase in her life has come to an end. When the amount of crust she left after each meal grew larger than the amount she had eaten, I sensed a change in her lunch routine was imminent.
And we’ve had […]

Somebody Please Get Me The Number For Verizon

*Gasping for air*
My internet has been down since Tuesday. I. Hate. Airimba.
Due to parties and company and apple pies, I have not been online since last Thursday night.
I do not recommend quitting Internet cold-turkey.

Let the […]

Cheapest Doll-House Ever

I know I’m not saying anything new when I say this. But the ability of a child to be simply ecstatic over three cardboard boxes simply blows my mind.
We have recently discovered that in the toddler nursery at church, Olivia has become quite infatuated with the large plastic doll house.
And at home, she has […]

What I Believe: Our Children are Over-Medicated

I apologize for the lateness of this post! My baby Benjamin is sickly and has needed my undivided attention these past few days. Thank you for your patience!

I believe that the school-age children in America are over-medicated. It is not that I believe that their problems do not exist. On the […]

Play along! You still have time to concoct a post detailing the reasons behind what you strongly believe in.
Directions are here.
And if I get five or more contributions tomorrow, I will go ahead […]

Breasts Are Offensive

This is an excellent, compelling, it’s-about-time-someone-said-this argument.
Do you breastfeed?  Are you planning to?  Ever felt awkward for wanting to feed your child in public?  Heaven-forbid, at a restaurant?
Read this.  It’s a great perspective of the outrageous double standard.

How to [Happily] Co-Sleep

Ever since I brought my little screaming ball of fury beautiful, love-of-my life daughter home from the hospital, I knew it wouldn’t do to have her sleeping across the room. Waking up every two hours and leaving the comfort of my bed just to feed her? I might as well be mixing formula! […]

Olivia’s Last Day of Dursing: Part One

This will be written in two parts. I really wanted to live-blog it, but due to happy un-interrupted family time this weekend, I didn’t blog a durn thing.
So pretend it’s Friday.

When I was pregnant with her, I had no idea I was going to breastfeed. When I did decide to nurse, I knew […]
