Paddleboarding
I went paddleboarding for the first time today. It was easier than I thought.
Cloth Diapering
Last Tuesday evening I ordered 8 one size Fuzzibunz diapers. They arrived Saturday. I was amazed at how quickly they arrived, especially since the shipping was ‘free’. Today was our first day using them. My daughter seems to love them. She slept 11 hours in one last night, had 2 large BMs during the day, and is soundly sleeping now. I am just finishing up washing them now. They...
WIC Food Package Should Be Based on Science: ... →
WOW
“WIC purchases more than half of all infant formula sold in this country”
“While WIC purchases formula at a substantial discount, the program spent approximately $850 million on infant formula in fiscal year 2009”
We should always and totally support breastfeeding mothers; pumping at work and nursing in public. And we should all support all mothers ALL OF THE TIME!

Growing as a DIY Musician
I particularly agree with this part!
“Getting to a sustainable level as a DIY musician isn’t about hyping yourself up to get a fleeting sales boost. It’s about embracing and perfecting your art, becoming really good and finding an audience that appreciates that and then monetizing that symbiotic existence in a non-exploitative way (for both sides).”

Feminist Media: Things Advertising Taught Me →

Women love to clean; they love it so much, they wear nice clothes when scrubbing the toilet and they dance with their mops.
Only women know how to clean or use cleaning products.

sex and the trash can
My husband has forgotten we have a trash can. He has been leaving his trash on the kitchen counter and leaving his dishes wherever he was when he ate whatever he ate. With a toddler and him I can’t keep up. Here was our comical conversation this evening.
After having Taco Bell, he left all the wrappers and empty sauce packages on a plate on the couch. He got up and turned off the TV as...

Congressional Reform Act of 2011
The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971…before computers, before e-mail, before cell phones, etc. Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took 1 year or less to become the law of the land…all because of public pressure. I’m asking...
Apparently my toddler did not read any baby/toddler books. She spent all her time goofing off and doing summersaults while in utero. She obviously missed the chapter about sleep; where she is supposed to sleep 10-12 hours a day.

The best way to eat goldfish crackers is to dump the on the couch, crush them a little and then eat them, as demonstrated by my toddler.
watching Signing Time! with my 16 month old, she seems to really like signing, hopefully teaching her Spanish, English and ASL won’t mess her up too much :)
The Real Reason Not to Cover Up Nursing Mothers... →
my favorite part…
“Please, no more calls to “cover up”. Anyone who cries for a cover over the beautiful sight of a nursing mother and child is unwittingly and devastatingly calling for the destruction of womanly knowledge, and the handicap of the next generation of breastfeeders.”
FUCK YEA!!!!!!

The Music Instinct: Science & Song
I just watched The Music Instinct: Science & Song from PBS via Netflix streaming. I absolutely loved it. Babies crying in perfect 5th intervals and neurophysicists connecting string theory to music is just stimulating. Black holes make sound and have a pitch. It’s probably some really sad melancholy menacing chord progression including some Em and Am notes.
WTF Facebook?
This group “Riding your Girlfriend softly, cause you don’t want to wake her up” (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Riding-your-Girlfriend-softly-Cause-you-dont-want-to-wake-her-up/185788198142358) is up and running and apparently acceptable to facebook yet breastfeeding mothers have had their facebook profiles closed and photos taken down for showing breastfeeding pictures where the...
Teething
Seriously, when will this tooth on this 16 month old finish popping through the gums? We are all over teething!!!
Is she deaf or just ignoring us?
My 16 month old toddler is so good at ignoring us and not listening to us that my husband told me he thought she was deaf. After some further investigating her hearing is just fine. She just ignores us when she wants.
