The Unnatural Art of Breastfeeding

  When it comes to breastfeeding, we all start out with the same thought:  I’m a woman.  I have boobies.  How hard could it be? Enter the irony of breastfeeding.  It seems like breastfeeding should be all so very natural and instinctual and yet it just isn’t.  Breastfeeding takes practice and support and lots and lots of […]

Love at First Sight

The baby of our family, known as “Little BooBoo” will be turning 3 years old this month. As we prepare to celebrate him, I’m reminded of the day I became a believer in love at first sight. From the moment we told our only son that he was about to become a big brother, he […]

They Grow Up So Fast

We say our kids grow up so fast, I think I’ve figured out why. Many infant and toddler apparel companies have begun selling skinny jeans.  Because babies and toddlers need skinny jeans.  In fact, they demand them because that diaper adds a little too much junk in the trunk.         Baby skinny jeans [Image Credit]                                            Toddler skinny jeans [Image credit] And then Heelarious came […]

What Makes Me a Theta Mom

Theta Mom, personal blogging hero and friend posed the question to her readers, “What makes you proud to be a Theta Mom?”  I thought about it, and thought about it, and then I thought some more.  This is what I discovered: I have a very real and personal fear of failure.  I would have never embarked on […]

My Rookie Mistake

[Image Credit] Somewhere between my first and second child I abandoned radical parenting and the world (or at least my kids) breathed a collective sigh of relief. I was all up in my eldest’s developmental biz from the time he was born.  I was busy filling his days with tummy time, music time, reading time […]

Two Words of (unsolicited) Advice

Pretty much everyone I ever met is pregnant right now and I wouldn’t have it any other way.  I admitted my personal Pregnancy Addiction last week and I was really relieved to learn I wasn’t alone.  You just saved me thousands in therapy, whew!  Since I’ve got this handy little blog which is just great for broadcasting […]

Babymoon

[Image:charhadas.com] If you’re expecting a baby, a babymoon is an idea well worth considering.  Like a honeymoon, a babymoon is an opportunity to get out of town and enjoy your partner and kids (if you already have them) before you welcome your newest addition.  Since traveling with a newborn is about as fun as a […]

Fear and Loving in Infancy

How I love newborn babies. I love them because they are so shiny and new and haven’t yet learned the word “no”. They are perfect and sweet-smelling and their clothes are so cute it makes me want to cry. Newborns are easy to hold and even easier to love. They possess the unique ability to make your heart […]
