I Got Her On Sale!
The Where’s Waldo picture from a couple weeks ago seems to have been a big hit, so I decided to make it a running theme in teh blog. Where’s Dea?!?!?! Did I really just have that much stuff in my car? That’s what happens when you go on two day trips in one weekend and … Read more
Baby-led Weaning
I seem to do every “traditional” parenting thing differently. I co-sleep, I baby wear (my mother-in-law laughed when she heard me call it that), I breastfeed, so on and so on. Baby-led weaning, according to my husband, is most unusual of my non-traditional parenting ideas. According to the website, baby-led weaning is a way of … Read more
Newsletter – 6 Months

Variation of Lactating Girl
My friend drew Lactating Girl for me and I love the work she did, but I had one minor problem with it–the pacifier. I don’t use pacifiers and they don’t exactly promote the best breastfeeding relationship (though I know many breastfeeders who use them and love them) so I made one without the pacifier. I’m … Read more
School and Nursing in Public
This semester, I am taking 3 online classes. One of which is U.S. National Government and Politics. On the discussion board, we were told to introduce ourselves.
