Twig’s Birth Story
The night before I had been wondering if my amniotic fluid was leaking very slightly. My underwear was slightly damp and I was fairly sure it wasn’t urine or cervical fluid. When we got home from watching a basketball game at my in-laws’ around 11:30pm, I decided to just change my underwear and go to … Read more
Elimination Communication
Today’s guest post is from Tophat at the bee in your bonnet. Heather is one of the few bloggers I’ve had the pleasure to meet in person and she’s just lovely. Sadly, she moved shortly after we met to a place much warmer and nicer. I’ve loved reading her blog since Peanut was very young and … Read more

Starting from the very basics, it gives you simple projects that teach you one or two new techniques at a time. This sweater is technique #3, which teaches … Read more
Making the Most of My Time
Today is my due date. First off, this does not mean that you’re allowed to start asking me every day if I’ve had the baby yet. I’ve decided that Facebook posts that ask me will be deleted (I already had to delete one yesterday), texts will go without response, etc. If I feel frustrated at … Read more
The Many Faces of Peanut
Peanut has recently decided that smiling at the camera is simply not interesting enough. Instead, when I ask her to smile for the camera, she displays a wide array of ridiculous faces (on purpose).
