Other Sites I Deem Worthwhile
- 10 Centimeters Where nature and science converge; Blogging for a Better Birth

- Free Range Kids Sanity in parenting. Keeping me from being a SMother
- Friendly Atheist News and commentary from the Godless World
- Geek in the City My cousin always wears a kilt, has a foot of beard and pretends to be a pirate on a regular basis. And yet *I’m* the crazy one. This is his job. It is awesome.

- The Meming of Life Blog by the author of Parenting Beyond Belief

PBS Kid
I’ll come right out and say it: I let my son watch TV. It isn’t all that much unless I’m sick or desperate for a break, and it’s almost entirely PBS. It’s still more than my idealistic self thought I … Continue reading

I am not my son’s favorite. I am firmly in fourth place – fifth if you count Kitty. Most of the time I’m OK with it. He’s barely fifteen months old. I’m with him all the time, and that is … Continue reading

Three Creepy Effing Dolls
For as long as I can remember I have been creeped out by the entire concept of dolls coming to life. I refused to watch Child’s Play, disliked ventriloquism and even viewed Jim Henson’s The Christmas Toy with suspicion. Muppets … Continue reading

A Trip to the Zoo

Sick and Tired
Of course I’m sick the week of Thanksgiving. Lovely. I feel like my head is slowly filling with Miracle Whip, and I am pretty sure I must have deep-throated a bottle brush in my sleep last night. Ugh. The boy … Continue reading
Beautiful Boy
One year ago today my family became complete. I am grateful every single day for this incredible boy-child, whose precocious, wide eyed exploration of the world reminds me to savor life. I am in such awe of him that its … Continue reading

Vas Difference
*I hope my husband forgives me for being nice to him in public. We decided before we even tried to knock me up that we only wanted one child. I was (effectively) an only child and, for the most part, … Continue reading
