I should start out by giving some background here. A few bloggers (here and here) are a buzz about parenting choices and being judgmental and it kind of ticks me off a bit. I am not ticked off because they are okay with things like cry-it-out or because she admitted to NOT breastfeeding or blindly...

That is right I said it! As avid couponers and deal seakers even we are disgusted by the new show that has been airing as of lately. In general any show that rewards for the negative is a show we avoid. We don’t watch Intervention or Hoarders or Jersey Shore. All those shows just focus...

Ignorance and judgment abound in the world of a breastfeeding mom, I know first hand. These days with the popularity of social media more and more people are sharing their opinions and points of view, in this case a number of people in my network were in an uproar about comments a radio show host,...

Each batch of kids I teach is different and in order to effectively “reach” each of them I try to adapt my approach, so I can best help them. I’ve never taught the same from one year to the next because no two batches of students are exactly the same. The ultimate goal is to...

I have a confession. I am fairly certain twitter is killing my creativity! I’ve been having issues with blog content since Everly’s birth. Sure I am a busy mom who is working part time in addition to caring for a new baby. Yeah, computer time is limited these days… The thing is it’s not the...

It seems like every time I turn around there is another battle to be fought. Why is it that nothing is straightforward and easy anymore? I just had a baby, right? When we found out we were pregnant we got legally married even though we were in the process of planning our actual wedding. We...

I am curious, do you know the exactly how much money you are paying in interest and bank fees each month? I ask because recently I’ve been particularly worried about this one credit card account I have. It was literally the first card I got when I decided to try reestablishing myself credit wise. This...

You’ve heard about S.A.D right? It is a type of “winter mood disorder”… I’ve seen commercials about S.A.D and the prescription pills that “I should ask my doctor about if I am experiencing similar symptoms”. I have always rolled my eyes about the idea of the winter season making people depressed enough to need a...

HIV is still a pretty taboo topic in some circles and I know there are still people out there with skewed views on the disease, how it is contracted and who gets it. Everyday people have contracted HIV, they aren’t all sex addicts, dirty needle users or whatever. Still many people look down on those...

Did you know that today, January 22nd 2009, is the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade? I am sure you already know that I am pro-choice big time, since I blogged for choice last year and all. I don’t think I’ll ever have an abortion but that doesn’t mean I’ll let anyone take my right...
