I’ve got mad fever!

No, I am not talking scarlet fever or hay fever… It’s SPRING fever around here! Thankfully we’ve kicked our cold (I should say E and I kicked it, N might be coming down with it now). So things are more productive here especially since the weekend was warmer than usual, basically it was NOT jacket weather [...]

The day of red

18 months ago, thanks to my Fertility Awareness Method charting I knew I was pregnant, before I’d even missed my period. Now, over a year later I am back in the world of fertile women and am reminded of how bad it sucks to have “that time of the month” again… Oh and we have to [...]

Road trip adventures Everly enjoyed.

Whew! After a week on the road we needed a day to decompress after getting back to Evansville. Yesterday we sat around in our PJ’s, did many loads of laundry, scrubbed cat vomit from the carpets, cleaned cat boxes… You know all the chores and stuff that go undone while you are away. Everly was a [...]

The last time I showered in New Mexico…

What is it with shower situations in New Mexico? We are spending the night in Tucumcari, NM this time around. We got a cheap hotel to spend the night in and unfortunately it only has a shower. You see it’s a cheap hotel, tiny, clean and shower-less with a super loud heater… You get what you [...]

Forging ahead – Bringing our car home from Arizona

We are on the road in our newly fixed car! After flying here and hanging out with family and friends it’s now time to make the trip back home, in our car. We spent much time this morning debating weather or not it was a good idea to make the trek up north to I-40 [...]

Live Blogging: Cat Swallows Needle

Here are my tweets as they played out during the night and early hours of the morning. I didn’t realized it would reach so many people. At first I was just tweeting so my husband would know what was going on, then I kept tweeting to be sure I didn’t leave anyone in the dark. [...]

Dazed, anxiety ridden and plagued with ham disease.

It’s true. N and I got the holiday ham that keeps on giving. It seems we have food poisoning or something… It’s been an ongoing thing for over a week now. We just tossed several pounds of ham leftovers after we figured it was the culprit, also tossed the spinach salad just for good measure. [...]

Christmas 2009 as parents.

I never thought I would be such a gingerbread cookie fiend! Last week we made up a ton of cookies to get in the holiday spirit and also so N would have cookies to take in to work for everyone. We’d been trying different gingerbread cookie recipes each year, nothing was particularly impressive and I thought [...]

Someone is excited about the holiday!

She’s not even walking yet and she’s already being a stinker about opening gifts early. After her gift snagging earlier in the week we moved all the gift bags and stuff with ribbon away from her reach. We thought the paper and curly ribbon was attracting her attention. Looks like she’s smarter about this gift [...]

A twitter addiction? Confessions and talk of loss.

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 time that [...]

Baby leg warmers crochet fun

I’ve been working on making E a pair of baby legwarmers since October. I just finished them today which is kind of a big deal. You see I tend to start and never finish my knit and crochet projects… Today will probably be the only day she’ll wear them since it took me two months to [...]

Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans…

All the trees are naked and it is very close to freezing at night now. Thanksgiving is just right around the corner and we aren’t really sure where the year has gone. Life is blowing by so fast and it just feels like we are standing here in a blur while it all swirls around us [...]

Today we are proud home owners!

Well, we’ve done it! Several years of planning and thousands of dollars later… We are now the proud owners of our own home! N was bummed that we had no “sold” sign to pose with out on the front lawn though… We may just have to stage it anyway, kind of like this: We went in [...]

Sigh… Rest and recuperation are in order.

This will be the first weekend in probably a month or so that we’ll have to relax and get caught up on things. Marching season has come and gone, my 9th marching season is now over. Sure winterguard plans and ideas are in the works but it wont be until January when the performance madness picks [...]

Less-Words Wednesday: Out and about with baby

Posted on Nov 18 in Life in Evansville, breastfeeding, parenting, personal storiesby TalinaPrint

Over the weekend we had our first meal out since Everly was born… We went to Steak N Shake where they asked if we needed a high chair and presented us with a kids menu and crayons. Don’t they know 5-month-olds typically don’t order off the kids menu or color? She did bang on the table top though.

Everly had boobies while N and I ordered food from the menu. I was pleased that nobody gave me any grief about breastfeeding my child in the restaurant while I ate.

We were there about 45 min or so and I indulged in a sugary caramel apple shake for dessert. It sent me in to a sugar overload later but was oh-so-good. Thanks Steak N Shake for being boobie/ breastfeeding friendly.

Speaking of breastfeeding in public, back during our Indy trip I breastfed in a few different Starbucks with no issues. Thanks Starbucks!

As a first time mom who is breastfeeding it can be intimidating to just feed where ever you are. For me it was not because of shyness either… I’ve done much more revealing stuff.

The main worry is that the establishment will cause a scene over it or that another patron will… Similar to the Chick-fil-A situation back in August that resulted in nurse-in protests.

There are laws almost everywhere that protect a nursing mother’s rights to nurse in public but that doesn’t protect against the humiliation and inconvenience of being harassed or the fear that someone will come at you for doing it.

If breast is best why does everyone make you feel like an ass for doing it public?

Awesome! Love the photojournalism, lol! I totally relate. I am not shy, but am worried about how others will react. My friends that are nursing are sometimes shocked by my lack of shyness, but really, at this point my boob is like a fork- it’s a feeding tool, lol!

Our Everly has been teething since 3 months also, but still no signs of teeth. She had two little tooth buds on the bottom but they went away (grrrrr). I am almost wondering if it is something that I am eating. When she has a rough night now I am writing down what I ate the day before, am going to see if I can find any similarities.

I read that you were drinking a sleepy time tea? What is that? I have never heard of it?
