Finds of the Week:

  • Elizabeth Smart Says Pro-Abstinence Sex Ed Harms Victims of Rape, Slate’s XXfactor — Exactly what the headline says; she argues that abstinence only education which teaches girls they have more value as virgins can cause them to feel worthless and without value after they are raped
  • Go naked: diapers affect infant walking, NYU Research Paper (full text) — I just found this interesting.  Apparently, the reason our babies learn to walk the way they do is because they have diapers on, which adversly impact their ability to walk normally from the go.  (Here is the one downside to cloth — bulky cloth diapers make it harder for them to learn to walk than lighter disposables.)
  • Study Finds Adverse Effects of Pitocin in Newborns, The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists — Press release on the negative effects that pitocin might have on full-term babies.  All the more reason to wait for baby to decide to come on his/her own

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.
