All These Ideas: July 2012
http://alltheseideas.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 21, 2012. I've been inspired, now that I am expecting another baby, to revisit the birth of my first. Most of this was coming from memory, but I did make a lot of notes in the first few weeks of being a mom. My tone in those notes was, um, a little more freaked out. I was probably not sleeping. Because my risk of infection was greater since my water had been broken, no one checked how dilated I was until about 11pm. Around 9 or 10 at night, things started to get very difficult for me&#...

Saturday, May 18, 2013. Changing, Ever-Changing Thoughts on Breastfeeding. Before I had kids and while I was pregnant and even while my son was a small baby, I really thought breastfeeding was the ultimate choice, the best choice in feeding your kid. And more than just that, I really thought. Breastmilk just isn't there, or when we find that we have weaned before we meant to and now there's no going back, or we reach that point where we just can't do it anymore because we are exhausted or ill or worn dow...

All These Ideas: November 2012
http://alltheseideas.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 20, 2012. It has been a while since a post has appeared. But I have an excuse. A new person appeared in my life. Here is his birth story. More posts, hopefully about things other than how people make their way into this world, to come soon. Evening. We called my in-laws when I started having contractions at dinnertime. But . the contractions went away at bedtime and I didn't go into labor at all. Boo. Starting to cry. I thought they would just pull the rest of him out, but Ros kept ...

Saturday, May 19, 2012. Free DIY Toddler Toys. I'm cheap, especially on the subject of toys. Sometimes, it's just really hard to know if your kid is going to love that thing they want at the store. I'm sure we have all been burned on this before. My son is almost 2, so these are toys for toddlers. 1 Cars through a tube. Putting cars through a tube is about 800% more fun than playing with cars when you do not have a tube. It's a tunnel, a slide, or a thing to look through depending on the mood. Al...My so...

All These Ideas: The Benefits of a Routine, Part 1
http://alltheseideas.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-benefits-of-routine-part-1.html
Friday, April 26, 2013. The Benefits of a Routine, Part 1. Staying at home full time with my son has been challenging, and we have made a routine for our day basically just to stay sane. He is a precocious kid – and active and rowdy and gets bored easily. We need to have a plan when we go through our day, otherwise we are a little nuts by. We are probably a little nuts by then anyway. Here is our routine, in a nutshell. Ok, by now we are usually going crazy. I am trying to straighten up the house aga...

All These Ideas: April 2012
http://alltheseideas.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 27, 2012. When my friend Heather moved away, she gave me a fridge full of veggies she wouldn’t be able to finish. I ended up with an entire crisper drawer full of beets and another full of carrots. I like beets and carrots just fine … but there were just so many of them. I probably eat beets once a year. 188; to ½ cup olive oil, your call. Drizzle garlic head with olive oil, wrap in tin foil. Roast for 60 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Wednesday, April 25, 2012. I put a few trains in the bat...

All These Ideas: The Benefits of a Routine, Part 2

Saturday, April 26, 2014. The Benefits of a Routine, Part 2. After writing about my old routine, I realized that I don’t make the best use of my day. I think that is the secret thing about being a mom: you really do have to learn how to be more efficient, or you end up drowning in stupid, boring, repetitive tasks. Yesterday, I dusted the living room. DUSTED. I had a small “holy crap” moment. It’s been a really long time since I did that. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). No Pouting in the Dojang.
