Tinytongs

Violet is currently fascinated with chopsticks right now. She has a tiny pair that she wants to use all the time & honestly, it drives me batty. I don’t have the patience to use chopsticks 9 times out of 10 & I certainly don’t have the patience to teach a 3 year old how to [...]

Enjoy a waste-free lunch with Planetbox.

Ever since V started playgroup last year I’ve been pretty obsessed with finding the perfect lunchbox. I love packing lunches, I would probably do it all day if I could. Heck, if I had the dough, I’d probably be a crazy bento-mom with a million little sauce containers and shape cutters. However, all those little [...]

Have any of you ever seen that Mythbusters episode where they confirmed that it was pretty much impossible to keep your toothbrush free of fecal coliforms bacteria?

Cupcakes & Morrissey

V’s birthday is Monday, she’s going to be 3 (!!!).

Hooray for Gummiking Vitamins!

I’ve been on a search for gelatin-free gummy vitamins for ages. I’ve been a vegetarian since 1999 with ventures in & out of veganism. So yeah, gelatin really skeeves me out. Finally, my friend Sue passed a link on to me to a company with nothing BUT vegan gummy vitamins! Gummiking, pretty much the best [...]

Breastfeeding 101

I’m due to have another baby in 19 days & I know nothing about breastfeeding. When my first daughter was born, in 2006, I decided not to breastfeed because I had undergone breast reduction surgery 2.5 years earlier. Fearing low milk supply & general let down, we went with formula instead. Don’t get me wrong, [...]
