Muffin Tin Wednesday

Meredith still eats very little, and nurses a whole lot. She’s still growing well and happy and healthy, so I’m not concerned. I do sometimes wonder if she realizes that solid foods will even fill her up. If I had to guess, I’d say at least 75-80% of her nutrition is coming from breastmilk, [...]

Blog2Print

In my search to find a good place to print out my scrapbook pages, I stumbled across this site that I thought some people might be interested in if you want to make a book out of your blog. I’ve heard good things about them, but haven’t used them myself so [...]

Canadian Maternity Experiences Survey

Annie over at PhD in Parenting wrote a post last week about the Canadian Maternity Experiences Survey with some follow up questions. I’ve been reading others’ answers with interest and thought that I would add my own to the mix. The questions themselves are actually from Ann Douglas.

Snapshot Sunday

Snapshot Sunday is something Sarah debuted back in November. From her blog:

Thought I’d try something new, so I’m debuting Snapshot Sunday. I’m not really creative with names. What I’ll do is walk through my life at the moment – wherever I am, whatever I’m doing and take [...]

Sleep Training Guide for the Infant

Here’s another cute article from my sister-in-law.

Sleep training from baby’s point of view

Sleep Training…

OK, here’s my situation. My Mommy has had me for almost 7 months. The first few months were great– I cried, she picked me up and fed me, anytime, day or night. Then something happened. Over [...]

I’m Back (maybe!)

I’ve been pretty quiet, but I want to start writing more again. I keep telling myself that I’ll have more to say when Meredith is a little older and we can do some fun activities and experiments together, but I realized that part of the reason I haven’t been writing as much is because [...]

Unschool vs School

My sister-in-law pointed me to a great blog post today that was written by a kid who was unschooled his whole life, and then decided to try going to school. I really love reading experiences from unschooled kids so I thought I would share it. I found the comments about socialization [...]

Hospital Birth

Gloria Lemay (a Vancouver birth attendant) posted this on her blog today and I thought I would share:

Are you a good candidate for a hospital birth?

Must not be scared of needles.

Must not be claustrophobic or uncomfortable in confined spaces.

Must be able to go for long periods of time [...]

Dog-Friendly Dog Training

Katherine over at Our Report Card posted this link on her blog: Ian Dunbar on dog-friendly dog training. It’s a 15 minute talk, but very interesting for dog owners, parents, and really anyone interested in relationships. A lot of what he says is exactly how I feel about [...]
