Moments in time: a love letter

Welcome to the February Carnival of Natural Parenting: Love and partners!

This post was written for inclusion in the monthly Carnival of Natural Parenting hosted by Hobo Mama and Code Name: Mama. This month we’re writing about how a co-parent has or has not supported us in our dedication to natural parenting. Please read to the [...]

USA Thanksgiving break

My parents are in town (WOOHOO!), there’s all sorts of cooking to be done (let’s not even talk about the cleaning), and, as always, my mind is full with far more posts than there is ever time to write.

So I’m giving myself a break.

Who knows if I’ll actually take it? Last time? Not so much. [...]

Introducing: my kitty

(Or, an excuse for excessively adorable cat pictures.)

(You have a dirty mind.)

This is my kitty.

Mistress Catareina, the Feline Queen

Isn’t she pretty? *waits for ooos and ahhhs* But wait, where is she? Let’s see if we can zoom out a bit.

Wait, is that my face?

Is that… my face? A little more out…

(Not exactly) Wordless Wednesday

I only hope he learns better babywearing etiquette before I have grandkids. But hey, the baby IS in a carseat!… sort of.

The Adventures of The Family Lactational, and a Fathers’ Day postscript

Okeedoke, I was trying to write an entire actual, y’know, post to go with these comics, but… nah. Later, maybe.

For now, a quick explanation: several years ago, long before the Boychick’s conception much less birth or extrauterine life (which is to say, way before I had any first-hand experience with any of this), I [...]

The blogger revealed

I know there haven’t been any photos of me on here, nor do I have so much as a profile picture (even though there have been pictures of the Boychick galore, and even of The Man). But it’s not some conspiracy, not a deliberate choice for some misplaced reason of delusions of modesty or anonymity/pseudonymity [...]

Unemployment and parenting: a semi-schmaltzy self-indulgent pep talk (plus, cute kid pic!)

In many ways, unemployment is great for our family. The Man is around throughout the day, which is our ideal. We all sleep in and wake up together, and he gets to experience the joys of first hugs and kisses of the day. He gets up and showers with the Boychick in [...]

5 things that make me happy, two links you should read, and one swinging child

Five things that make me happy:

The smell of cinnamon as I shake out some baking soda to wash my hair (I store it in an old cinnamon bottle).
Having friends I can call after having a Bad Parenting Moment who really get it, and return me nothing but love.
The way The Man steps up after I [...]

When the words just won’t come

I actually have three drafts sitting in my queue, ideas absolutely worthy of discussion, but almost incoherent in their construction. Seriously, even short posts on discussion forums I try to write leave me scratching my head going “what the heck does that mean?”; I shudder to think what it looks like to others.

I’m not [...]

Lost post steals thunder

There’s nothing quite as disheartening as writing out 90% of a loooong (and interesting, if I do say so myself) post and then losing it to the ether, is there?

I’ll try again later. Send me don’t-lose-the-post- and don’t-lose-heart-vibes, please. I’m fresh out.

In the meanwhile, enjoy this Random Cute Kid Photo from three months [...]
