Almost Three
In some parts of the country, school has already started. In less than four weeks, Nora will be headed off to preschool two mornings per week and I’ll be truly committed to homeschool preschool three more mornings.

World Breastfeeding Week & A Papoose Update
I’ve been pretty quiet about Papoose lately, because aside from teaching Tiny Tumblers classes and doing the occasional private lactation consultation, I haven’t been doing a lot. I took a break blogging over there when I got pregnant and busy with websites, because there just wasn’t enough time in the day or energy in my…
