This was Bear's first St. Patty's. I almost forgot to take pics of him so I barely remembered later that night.
He was helping me write a novel:
Then I remembered, oh crap! It's St. Patty's Day! It's time for pictures:
I needed him to smile a bit more so I decided to squeeze his cheeks in between shots.
Except he caught me:
And he wouldn't let go:
I finally got the shot I was

I actually remember this day. Not sure why I was wearing a wig because apparently it was hot enough for Bear to be shirtless. Maybe I was just too lazy to mess with my hair (it happens.) We had fun, tho...
You know, people used to tell me how fast it all goes. You're snuggling them one day and you're sending them off to school the next. I never knew exactly

It's funny when you become an expectant parent.*
There is just so....much...shit...to choose from. Really, there is.
And every company is like a drug dealer...'Hey baby...you know want this high chair. It'll make you feel real good.'
So, today's post is about the hits and misses of things we had purchased or used over the past two years. If I can save you a bit of heartache (and money!), I've done
I spoke about this issue before (See Could You Be Loved for a refresher). So here's my unadulterated and totally unscientific take on it. My honest opinion? The best way to cloth diaper is in conjunction with disposables.

This week kicks off National Breastfeeding Week and I'm about share my experiences with breastfeeding. I'm not going to lie - breastfeeding didn't just come naturally to me. In fact, I had to work really, really hard at it.
You see, many books, websites, and even some mothers, will sell a new mother on the idea that breast is best and that a woman should try every attempt possible to
