Touched Out

I love having a baby in the house. I might have horrified the husband at some stage by claiming that I could always have a baby. I love baby smell, I love baby squishiness, I love how quickly they change and how much I don’t want them to. But between breastfeeding, babywearing and the physical [...]

162/365 Sleeping Like a Baby

Not really. No baby sleeps ‘like a baby’. Ridiculous turn of phrase. But there is a certain peacefulness that baby’s have when they sleep that is just irresistible. Exhibit A. Piper in one of her rare not being held by me sleeps. She hates to be wrapped. Hates to be in the co-sleeper when she [...]

Parenting Choices are Not Mistakes

I came across this on Crunchy Domestic Goddess. Here are what Lifescript calls the “10 Biggest Mistakes Parents Make:” 1. Sharing a bed with baby. 2. Putting your child to bed with milk or juice. 3.

Inconvenient, Painful and Joyful – Co-Sleeping in the Age of Toddler

She is a part-time co-sleeper. More full-time than part-time when she’s teething or going through a rough patch, or it’s Sunday. She likes to be in our bed the night before I go to work outside the home. Sometimes this means that she wakes up a lot earlier in the morning, when Josh leaves for [...]

The Chuckle

After enjoying her day at home with Mr. Goog. Look at all of those teeth! There still on the move, and in all likelihood I’ll have a snuggly little companion right about midnight. When she was a baby I couldn’t wait for her to sleep through the night, but now I enjoy it when she [...]

The Googy

Fair Warning – this is going to be one of those super mooshy posts where I wax lyrical about how much I love my baby. If it’s not your kind of thing you may want to skip over it or get a bucket. But don’t say that I didn’t warn you. I’ve had a rough [...]

Favourite Blog Posts of 2009

I read Best Blog Posts of 2009 at Scary Mommy and thought it was a pretty cool idea – if I have only got 6 months to choose from. I started this blog in July, thinking that it would be fun to do every now and then, but it quickly became more addictive than I’d [...]
