Finding a New Normal

Peanut is severely allergic to… peanuts?! Yeah, talk about irony. I suspected an allergy. A few months ago I thought maybe she allergic to blueberries. I came to that conclusion after her having multiple yucky poops with blueberries in them. Simply enough, just avoid blueberries. I didn’t even call the doctor. Just a couple weeks … Read more

Covering Up is NOT Proper Ediquette

Here is a link to a news story that was recently aired on a popular news station in my state. Watch the video. I am horrified. First off, I’d like to say I can understand where the argument comes from in thinking that women should cover up while breastfeeding for their company’s sake. I thoroughly … Read more

The Great Cloth Diaper Change

Saturday was The Great Cloth Diaper Change. I’m sad that I didn’t blog about it earlier so that people would know to participate, but last week was finals and my brain was dead for a few good days afterwards. Honestly, I’d forgotten about it until I noticed it in my calendar Thursday-ish, so it’s a … Read more

Newsletter—25 Months

Peanut, Oh my goodness, the terrible twos! Dun dun dun. Actually, I have noticed a difference. Not necessarily always terrible, but you’re certainly full of it. You’re really into running away from Mama and Daddy when we’re trying to get you dressed. You think it’s hilarious. You just run away giggling your head off and … Read more

Please visit the links to all the participants at the bottom of this post.  Are you oh-so-surprised that I’m writing yet another post about full-term nursing? Yeah, I didn’t think so. I know it’s a … Read more

Some Random Links

Hello All! It’s finals week around here, so I don’t have time to write my own posts, but here are some articles I’ve read over the last few days that I think I should share with you all. I also decided to try to potty train again and give Peanut a real shot to get … Read more

Another Breastfeeding Basket

These things have become my go-to baby shower gift. It makes me so happy to spread information about breastfeeding to mommies-to-be! This one I made for a baby shower last weekend that was thrown for my stand partner in orchestra from high school (I play the cello–bet you didn’t know that!). I’m happy to say … Read more

Some More Mama Guilt

I absolutely love finding articles that entirely skew the facts of breastfeeding! (I certainly hope you can read the sarcasm in that) Once again, I’ve found an article that has entirely wrong facts about breastfeeding. Seriously! I’m amazed how many of these things make it onto the internet. This time it comes from dailymail.co.uk and it’s … Read more

In Praise of the MDC

I know most of you that read my blog have probably already heard of mothering.com, but I decided to give a shout out. I was pretty devastated when they announced that Mothering magazine was no longer going to be published. That is my absolutely favorite magazine and I am deeply sad that I will no longer receive … Read more
