Dooce Inspired: The Case of Our Deranged Bed

September 30, 2009

I am reading Heather Armstrong’s (better known as dooce.com to millions who read her personal blog) book It Sucked and Then I Cried. It’s insightful, self-deprecating and hilarious, as I expected — I love her blog. So I thought I’ll post a dooce-ish entry inspired by Heather’s writing:

May 28, 2009

I learned today that Mike Tyson’s 4-year-old daughter died on Tuesday after a tragic accident. She slipped or put her head in the loop of a cord hanging under a treadmill’s console and was suffocated. I feel just terrible hearing this news, and it brings to light again that we as parents can’t be vigilant [...]

May 19, 2009

My niece invited all the Bleasdale women to New Hampshire to celebrate her bridal shower, and I was exited to go. L is 2 ½ now and I have never been away from him for a night. We practice attachment parenting and co-sleeping, meaning he sleeps in our bed. So going to the shower meant [...]
