Ooo… congratulations on formulating a plan for your degree. I hope it feels good, and not like it’s penning you in.

I feel much the same as you, only in a different discipline (chemical biology). When I […]

I have a 6-month old, and this whole topic scares me. Obviously, we are quite a while from his entering school, but if the situation has gotten this bad in 10 years, how much worse will it get in 5 more? I had a […]

How pretty would this be with the rainbow carrots I have in my fridge? This is on the menu for this week…

Do you peel the sweet potatoes?

I could have written a lot of this. I read your post while hooked up to my breastpump. Little dude never latched, so I’ve been pumping since he was born, and it’s super hard. I’m not quite ready to give up, but […]

Around here, we love squash sauce on ravioli. Think think butternut squash soup… Anyway, last week in our CSA box, we had a small pumpkin. We roasted it, then pureed it with some veggie stock and milk for a […]

I would be all stabby if this were my husband’s league. I totally feel your pain. And, I hope you kick all their asses this year!

Funnily enough, I opted not to join my previous fantasy league this year […]

Timely post.

We have a Moby, which my husband can easily use right now w/our newborn. However, I am still healing from a C-section, so I need something different. I went and found a Maya wrap (a ring sling) […]

Regarding the Last Unicorn… not just you. And now I might have plans for the evening.

What about oatmeal baths? Those are supposed to help itching, right?

It’s not a natural or home remedy, but some antihistamines are OK to use in pregnancy. They might help. Before I was pregnant, my […]

Ugh. I’m sorry to hear that the whole car-buying process hasn’t changed since I graduated from college (1996). I went to purchase my first car after graduation and walked out of at least 3 dealerships because […]

That was the other thing that really bugged me about the nurse who taught our prenatal classes: She said that every mum produces enough for her baby. Which is clearly not the case. As explained in the parent […]

Ugh. Typo in the first sentence… Those WERE exactly our thoughts. I have the afternoon tireds.

sneakotage – Those was exactly our thoughts. What happens if I cannot feed for whatever reason?

Thanks for sharing your experience regarding latching. That has been our friend’s experience as well, but I […]

I really dislike doggies begging at the table or worse table surfing. So, when we adopted our husky mix, we set a rule that when we were eating dinner she was to be in her crate (which is in the kitchen, in view […]

First off, is that a baby peach-fuzz mohawk? Awesomeness.

Thank you for sharing your story. I’m sorry it was so difficult for you. Looks like a pretty healthy kiddo to me, so I’d say you did well.

I’m […]

Regarding the second question, I often do the same thing, and I find filling the cups with hot water and adding some lemon juice also works nicely. After soaking for a bit, wipe the mug out with a dish cloth and […]

Funnily enough, my husky puppy is currently chewing her squeaky tennis ball the same way at this very instant.

…wonder if I can actually post her picture

And this is why I cannot start playing Candy Crush. I feel your pain, PoM!

And this is the review that convinced me to buy the book. :-)
