Mayim Bialik and Her Must-Read Book “Beyond the Sling” About Gentle Attachment Parenting

March 9, 2012

I rushed off to New York City on Wednesday to meet one of my role models — a fellow extended breastfeeding and attachment parenting advocate: Mayim Bialik (who played Blossom). I’m sure she’s sick of being introduced like that and I have a feeling that the success of her first book that was just released [...]

Co-Sleeping is Safe — When Practiced Responsibly

November 14, 2011

Posting a poster like this is just wrong and misleading: I originally wrote the following post for the New York City Moms blog, which no longer exists. After seeing these horrific posters scaring parents about co-sleeping, I’m reposting it here. Thanks to MckMama for making me aware of these posters! I have written about the [...]

The Taboo of Talking About Co-Sleeping

August 28, 2011

Co-sleeping, or bed sharing, is in the news again. This short article seems to just want to create controversy — but the blog post by Sara that is mentioned in the embedded news clip is refreshingly honest. Sara is sick of keeping it a secret that her little son sleeps in her bed: Coming Out [...]

Co-Sleeping is Safe, For Kids and Kitten

June 7, 2011

How adorable is this cat mama co-sleeping and hugging her sleeping kitten! I have co-slept with L for most of his life and am a hug fan of co-sleeping. L had a beautiful crib, but he hardly ever slept in it because it didn’t make sense to have him crying in his crib across the [...]

First Picture With the Easter Bunny

April 4, 2010

Happy Easter! Yay, after last year’s no-go, we have a picture with the Easter Bunny! I had been freaking out because I had hyped the Easter Bunny so much this year and then we missed the local Easter egg hunt — so I had to find another opportunity to see an Easter Bunny. Two occasions [...]

The Bliss of Breastfeeding — I Parent By Nature

November 25, 2009

Dagmar Bleasdale: The Bliss of Breastfeeding I hadn’t given it much thought before, but the second I learned I was pregnant I knew I wanted to breastfeed. It was one of the things I looked forward to the most about being a mom. I just had a feeling that being able to deliver the nourishment [...]

Dooce Inspired: The Case of Our Deranged Bed

September 30, 2009

Sorry, no funny pictures of a dog with stuff attached to his head, like Heather does with Chuck on Dooce. But I have a boy who performs similar tricks: I’m reading Heather Armstrong’s (better known as Dooce to millions who read her personal blog) book It Sucked and Then I Cried. It’s insightful, self-deprecating and [...]

No More Naps? Are You Kidding Me, Little Boy?

September 25, 2009

In the last week, things have changed around here. All of a sudden, it takes me half an hour or longer to get Landon to nap. Whereas before he would lie down with me and fall asleep nursing within minutes, he now breastfeeds for a minute and then wants to play some more. No matter [...]

Extended Co-Sleeping

September 13, 2009

Since we moved, I have been sleeping in Landon’s new big-boy twin bed with him. And Daddy is sleeping on the couch. Our new bedroom needed to be painted, so we don’t have our bed set up yet. I think that is going to finally happen tomorrow, since I finished painting the trim today. Honestly, [...]

Hitting Milestones – Great for Baby, Tough on Mommy

July 26, 2009

A girlfriend, already? I’m adjusting to you going to “cool” (preschool)! Landon is now almost two years and nine months old, and it is becoming more and more apparent that he isn’t my little baby anymore. I am trying my best to deny/ignore/dispute/negate/reject/contradict/disclaim this fact, but it is true. My sweet little boy still sleeps [...]
