It says here that a new baby deprives its parents of two-months worth of sleep in its first year of life. Seems a little low. Pooky is almost a year old now, and I don’t recall sleeping at all since she was born.
A study has found that many parents are wary of letting their kids [...]

In this era of digital cameras, Josh and I print out less and less photos and end up just storing them on the computer or in an online album. We have a huge number of digital photos of Pooky but only a handful of them actually printed and displayed on our walls and tables. It’s [...]

Pooky’s hair has been growing so fast lately. I trimmed it a little around her ears a while ago, but I want it to let it grow out, so the only way to keep it out of her face is to put it into pigtails or hold it back with a hair clip. Our Bliss [...]

It’s been raining here lately, but on Sunday, the sun came out and it was warm and beautiful. I felt like laying in a hammock all afternoon.
Instead, I helped Josh mow the weeds lawn.
Although we ended up deciding that Pooky was going to spend her first few months sleeping in the Arm’s Reach Co-Sleeper, I [...]

We didn’t realize it before baby was born, but our sleeping arrangement was everybody’s business. We received opinions, solicited or not, from just about everybody we talked to. Apparently, this single decision would determine the outcome of the rest of baby’s life. No pressure, though.
After giving it a lot of thought, we decided to use [...]

I occasionally think about the day when Pooky is old enough for me to get her to carry her own stuff, and she’d of course love to do that if it was carried in one of these cute handknitted backpacks. These 100% cotton backpacks from Blabla are a refreshing change to the plastic variety that [...]
