Sleep that knits up the raveled sleave of care

My kids struggle to stay asleep. It's kind of rough going. I've read about sleep. I've tried every strategy possible. People have offered well-meaning advice (nb: don't offer advice). I've done all I can. Seriously, I have. I really don't think ...

back wrap

Today Marlowe graduated to the back wrap cross . He's getting to be big boy. I'm still pretty new to wrapping, so I didn't feel confident back carrying him when he was younger, though it's entirely possible (see Africa). But he's seems ...

accessorize

We went to the park this morning, and the breeze was nice. I was worried that today would be really hot, but it wasn't too bad. I met another mom from a local babywearing yahoo group. It's impossible to meetup with these people because it's kind of ...

here

I keep trying to blog. I've started countless entries that are quickly abandoned in favor of a child who needs me or a brain that is checked out. More time passes and the gap gets bigger. It's really too late now, but here I am anyway. Something ...

snug as a bug

[flickr-photo:id=2570228107,size=m] I figured how to wear a wrap. I got several yards of nice lightweight cotton gauze (it is summer, after all) from the fabric store, followed a video from this great website . And Marlowe and I are in business. I ...

sling me

Now that I have my little Marlowe on the outside instead of the inside, I've been enjoying wearing him in my pouch sling. I kind of wonder if perhaps he's not such a fan of the pouch as I am, so I may try a wrap, too. It took me awhile to sort through ...

Wherein I embrace my inner hippy

Just kidding. About the hippy part. I went to my first La Leche League meeting today. I won't go into all the reasons it felt great to be there--other than, duh, breastfeeding support. I'm looking forward to nursing another baby. And it was nice to ...

some good words

I was trying to explain this to myself earlier today, why we do what we do with respect to some of our parenting choices. I feel like this post by Sally Clarkson really nailed a lot of what I was trying to hash out in my own brain: Not too ...

What a difference 10 weeks make

And there's 10 weeks more. Could I get any bigger? I don't think I'll go all the way to 40 weeks. I really don't. I'm guessing somewhere around 37 or 38. (If I'm totally wrong, do not...I repeat...DO NOT rub it in my face or ...

My Two Year Old

Just when you think you have two-year-old figured out, he goes wonky on you. Morphs into a new human. There's a hundred little ways he's growing and changing. He wants to do it himself--he gets the juice out the fridge, ...

a bit bleary this morning

Some early morning reflections: The Man with the Yellow Hat has got to be loaded. A house in the country? A condo in the city? And a vacation to Hawaii in the winter? We love George. He is a master of Inductive Reasoning. Update on toddler ...
