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 [...]

“It is as true now as it was then that no matter what tests show, very little of what is taught in school is learned, very little of what is learned is remembered, and very little of what is remembered is used. The things we learn, remember, and use are the things we seek out or meet in the daily, serious, nonschool parts of our lives.”
