Weaning Zara

This week, my "baby" officially started preschool. Since we're a Montessori family, Zara had the benefit of a long transition period as she moved from the toddler to the preschool class over the summer.  She's been spending parts of[...]

Today is August 1st, which marks the first day of World Breastfeeding Week.  For the first time in 5 years, I did not plan a big celebration or orchestrate a walk.  I didn't attend a single breastfeeding event, and I haven't been to a[...]

Post-Op Notes and Breastfeeding After Surgery

In case you missed my note on Facebook, I got the best news possible when I awoke from surgery: the nodule was benign, which means I still have half a thyroid and am not expecting to have to deal with radioactive iodine.  I couldn't h[...]

Building a Parenting Library — Recommended Reading

I mentioned awhile ago that I received a $500 grant to start our La Leche League library.  I had a lot of fun thinking about the books I would recommend to local moms and what was helpful to me the first or second time around.  Of cou[...]

Nursing in Public

Yes, that's an arbitrary nursing picture with ***gasp*** a boob in it.  Given the topic of this post, it only seems appropriate to share a picture of my little Zara Bea doing her favorite thing.  If that offends you, then you might no[...]

I remember when she used to pretend to work on websites on a leapfrog play computer because that's what she heard me talking about. And now she has her own real computer and is super into writing - she even started a blog. 😭 They grow up way too fast.

I'm officially a dance mom. 💃

This whole competition thing is not something I did as a kid so it feels pretty foreign, but Nora is super into it and I couldn't be more proud of her. Last weekend was her first competition and because of COVID audience restrictions Chris brought her and I watched on the livestream. This weekend Vivienne and I brought her. I can't wait to see her on that stage. 🤩🤩

Bath time with ambiance a la #ERCOT. 

Luckily we have not been affected by the water issues so many others have experienced. I finally decided to bathe the little girls for the first time in over a week (with a tiny amount of water, I promise) and the power went out again. We got out a lantern and decided to just roll with it. At least it's not below 30 anymore and I managed to get the diapers washed earlier today when we thought things were back to normal.

Maybe this is the universe's way of making sure I don't stay up until 2AM working?

#snowpocalypse and poor planning on the part of the Texas Electric grid means we're experiencing a candle lit evening. So far every one is still having fun and it's not too cold in here yet so we're calling it an adventure.
