Saturday Surfing

Finds of the Week:

  • Breastfeeding Around the World, InCulture Parent — A good look at breastfeeding exclusivity and duration throughout the world, with wonderful pictures.  Don’t miss the last photo!
  • Impact of State Laws That Extend Eligibility for Parents’ Health Insurance Coverage to Young Adults, Pediatrics — Peer Reviewed Study: States that expanded eligibility to parents’ insurance in 2005 or 2006 experienced improvements in access to care among young adults.  As in, “Obamacare” works.
  • Labor and Deliverance — I discovered this blog a couple weeks ago and then spent hours reading through his archives.  He’s an OBGYN somewhere in Appalachia.  Not only does he do cool things like vaginally deliver twins (with one breech) and constantly promoting vaginal NOT surgical births, but he’s also funny as all get out…especially when describing some of his incredibly back-woods patients.
  • Raising a Little Buddha – Part 1, InCulture Parent — Post by a Buddhist Minister about raising an enlightened child.  It starts with intimacy, communication, and community.
  • Rick Santorum, Meet My Son, Slate — A piece by the mother of a child with Tay-Sachs reflecting on the contradiction between her passionate love for her son and her belief that it would have been “an act of love” to abort him.  She says, “I’m so grateful that Ronan is my child. I also wish he’d never been born; no person should suffer in this way—daily seizures, blindness, lack of movement, inability to swallow, a devastated brain—with no hope for a cure. Both of these statements are categorically true; neither one is mutually exclusive.”

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.
