Saturday Surfing

It’s been a busy week:

  • Effort to Restore Children’s Play Gains Momentum – NY Times.  Messy houses are good — it means your child is playing!  That’s all I needed to hear.  🙂
  • For Capitol’s Nursing Mothers, an Escape From Politics – NY Times (Lactation rooms, yay!)  and a follow up by Politics Daily: Capitol Hill Breastfeeding: Can ‘Boob Cubes’ Boost Bipartisanship?
  • Japanese Politician Sparks Maternity Debate After Giving Birth at 50 – ABC News.  Interesting; I had no idea how conservative the Japanese birth culture is.
  • Let’s talk Girl Scout cookies – Spoonfed, one of my favorite food politics blogs talks about the evils of GS cookies.  This is a really great read if you buy them or are thinking about buying them!!!
  • Less wheezing in babies with high vitamin D – The Boston Globe
  • Pregnancy-Related Deaths Rising – Babble (blog).  The article is interesting but, what’s really worth reading are the comments.  It’s a home vs hospital debate with people like Dr. Amy Tuteur (an obstetrician and gynecologist who runs the Web site The Skeptical OB where she often writes about what she sees as the dangers of home births and the inadequate training of midwives) and my hero Ina May Gaskin(who runs the Farm Midwifery Center in Summertown, Tenn. and blogs at inamay.com, and is a vocal advocate for home birth) weighing in. How do I get Ina May to comment on my blog?
  • Watch Him Roll! Baby Edward’s Amazing Brain – Kurlwich Wonders, An NPR Sciencey Blog.  This is a fascinating look at infant synaptic brain development, with a 4-hour time lapse video of a 9 month old playing.

Z was Raja in an Aladdin production through her dance studio @pasgeorgetown this evening and she did such a great job. I loved watching her. She took a year off dance and is getting back into it and you'd barely know she took any time off, plus she had a big smile on her face the whole time - I could tell she was having a ton of fun. ♥️

What happens when you go on a long weekend trip with only your husband, no kids, and no agenda? 

Lots of walking, cocktails in the middle of the day, singing at a piano bar, and time to write a blog post for the first time in nearly two years. Which I did! 

😮 For real. LOL 😊

Today Chris and I have been married for 15 years. We're celebrating with our first weekend away from children while my mom watches all four girls. We rented an old Victorian from the 1800s near the coast in Galveston, Texas and spent the day at a spa, eating delicious food, walking the beach under the stars, and finished the night with a bottle of bourbon saved from when we lived on Nantucket. I'm not sure I could have asked for a much better day. I even had an oppotunity to get out the lightship basket purse Chris gave me for our 5th anniversary. ♥️

We had a cold snap and yesterday we had to get all bundled up for Zara's soccer game. It was 30 degrees and, despite these pictures, Vivi's patience for being out there did not last long. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 80 degrees and we're really looking forward to warmth again.

By the way, my awesome gaiter came from our client @isacattostudio. Isa paints patterns and makes really beautiful textiles and notebooks with her patterns. ♥️ her work and team.
