Business Decisions

As always, I am long overdue for an update on Papoose. I haven't said much about it since World Breastfeeding Week, largely because World Breastfeeding Week felt like my last-ditch effort to garner some additional support and interest in my goa[...]

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[...]

Yoga and Play

This past session of classes for Papoose were the best yet, especially with the addition of two Tiny Tumblers classes. I love the two hours per week I get to see little people jumping, balancing, running, and rolling. They are so cute, sweet[...]

Cow’s Milk And Our Family

When I was growing up, dinner always came accompanied with (what seemed like) a huge glass of white milk.  In my elementary school cafeteria, we had to drink our entire carton of milk (skim, 2%, or whole, no flavoring there) before be[...]

Report Card

I need to manage my time better.  I just spent 20 minutes deciding on/editing/uploading on a new cover photo for my Facebook timeline.  The dishes are done, the bathroom is clean, and the floors were swept yesterday, but mopping just[...]

Teaching (and Debating) Breastfeeding

At 9:30 a week ago tonight, my cell phone rang.  By the time I was down the stairs and into the dining room (praying the ring wouldn't wake up Nora), it had stopped.  I didn't recogize the number and so I didn't bother to listen to the message[...]

30 Days of Thanks: Friendship

Today, I am most thankful for our friends. I'm thankful for our La Leche League "friends" who get together one morning a month to support one another.  I love having the opportunity to see how quickly the babies are growing and welcome new lit[...]

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. 😂

Visiting my sweet tiny niece. I had the honor of being the doula at her birth and helping her come into the world. Her parents did amazingly (especially her mama) and everyone is excited to have another little girl in the family.
