Do I need to buy all organic produce? 2008-06-19 11:28:58 One health and nutrition site that I often frequent is Mark’s Daily Apple. He recently had posts on cracking the code on produce
. You know that little sticker with the 4 or 5 digit code that’s slapped on items in the market? It’s not just to determine how much you should be charged, it’s also [...]

What a Wonderfully, Perfect Day 2008-06-28 22:20:06 We started out the day bright and early awaking to a playful baby boy who couldn’t wait to stretch his legs and get rompin’. After breakfast, we took a vigorous walk to the City Farmer’s Market which offers the tempting smells of freshly made donuts, potted plants and flowers, hand made wares, and gobs of [...] Read more:Perfect

BPA Found in Infant Formula Cans Harms Test Animals 2008-06-27 12:47:46 An article published in the International Chiropractic Pediatrics Review (Spring 2008, p. 12) recently found that lab tests of canned infant formula conducted by the FDA and a certified commercial laboratory revealed that a plastics chemical, bis-phenol-A (BPA), leaches from the metal can linings into infant formula at levels which would expose some bottle-fed infants [...] Read more:Infant

Sleep Update (Almost) 8 Months 2008-06-26 13:26:58 5 Days of sleeping 8 to 9.5 hour stretches at night. Bliss! Love it! We’re all happy here.
We seriously needed our own place to make this happen. Previously living with another family meant unexpected company, unexpected loud noises during nap time (like the garage door opening and closing directly beneath the bedroom), sometimes it was [...] Read more:Months

Another Saturday in CVille 2008-07-12 22:47:47 We spent the morning doing our regular weekly run to the CVille City Farmer’s Market. This time, we met up with friends from church who happen to know EVERYONE in town.
I also found a running partner. Yippee! She sells soaps made from olive oil and essentials oils, and she has twin baby boys. I told [...] Read more:Saturday
Stylish, Safe, and Sanitary Shopping 2008-07-12 00:03:59 Now that Calvin’s a little too heavy to carry in a sling while I’m at a grocery store, I like having the option to let him ride in the shopping cart. However, he also wants to chew the handle that’s been touched by who knows how many people’s germ-laden hands. Meanwhile, he still wiggles and [...] Read more:Stylish

Green Apparel for the Breastfeeding Mama 2008-07-11 12:59:59 I was recently shopping at my local health foods store when I came across the most adorable organic baby body suit and cap set by Maggie’s Organics. Turns out that this creative apparel line won the 2006 Natural Products Expo East award for “Best New Green
Product”. I discovered the Maggie’s Organics website, and learned [...] Read more:Apparel
Sucking Wind 2008-07-10 14:24:58 Used the B.O.B. Revolution jogging stroller today for the first time as a JOGGING stroller. Woah. Was I gulping down the wind. I knew it’d be more of a walk-run, than a full-blown run. But, with the steep hills, and my low VO2, it was TOUGH. But, it was fun. Calvin LURVED going fast especially [...] Read more:Sucking

Poop Scoop 2008-07-26 09:45:53 As parents, we hear horrendous stories about absurd, crazy, and disgusting things babies and little tykes do. And we think to ourselves, “that won’t EVER happen to MY child. I’m much more aware, and I’ll handle any crazy thing that comes my way.” Well, if you think that, you’re better off dealing with reality than [...] Read more:Scoop
Trying Thai 2008-07-25 00:01:04 My mom’s in town for a couple of days. Since she loves good asian food, we had a double dose of Thai food today. Lunch at Lemongrass, and dinner at Thai 99. Ahhh. Coconut milk, basil, curry, lemongrass, thai tea: deee-lightful.
Calvin wanted to play with the menus. I distracted him for awhile by feeding him [...]
Infant Circumcision - Tradition or Necessity? 2008-07-24 00:02:47 As parents, there are so many decisions to make when having a baby from what type of health care provider you will choose (OB-GYN or midwife or both) to where you will birth (hospital, birthing center, or home) to what will happen immediately after your baby’s born. Among genetic disease testing, vitamin K injections, to [...] Read more:Infant

Getting Settled 2008-08-13 10:22:22 Boxes everywhere. Still unpacking. I know, that must be the most boring post topic on earth. But, it’s reality. When Calvin goes to bed, we get chores done: grocery shopping, unpacking, cleaning. I can’t tell you how many times I think about what life must have been like for pioneer families. Do you honestly think [...]
Lagging 2008-08-12 14:13:52 Hi. It’s me.
Yup, I’m still here. I’m on my intermittent blogging hiatus. I’m up to my ears in moving boxes. They’ve taken over more than 60% of our living room. It’s very tough for me to function amidst chaos. In fact, I simply cannot. I can manage to do the simple things like feed and [...]

Ditch the Diaper Bag 2008-08-27 20:49:28 There are times when I’m not lugging around a diaper bag, and I prefer a lightweight and comfortable option for toting necessities.
I’m especially elated when that option happens to be GORGEOUS and sustainable for the ecosystem while also supporting Fair Trade.
Exotic beauty melds with practical comfort in Saraye’s original hand-woven tatami purses from Cambodia which [...] Read more:Diaper
Wordless Wednesday 2008-08-27 00:01:02 Calvin is just like his parents. He has an early love of books. They’re the first thing he crawls to when he’s in his room or playyard. He’ll flip pages and look so very studious for an impressive amount of time.

Ask the Doctor 2008-08-26 14:14:14 Dear Dr. Dolly, What foods does Calvin like? — Jiyeon
The short answer is, he likes what I feed him. This baby doesn’t have options, and even as a potentially fussy toddler, he’ll have 2 choices: eat, or don’t eat.
He’s actually a very good eater. Sometimes flavors surprise him. He’ll give me that initial wince which [...] Read more:Doctor

Trail Running Escape 2008-09-21 17:22:08 On Saturday, Calvin and I ventured to Jefferson Parkway to enjoy the gravel trails and boardwalks beneath the towering oaks and ash trees.
Refreshing views provided a much needed escape from the daily grind and the daily search for office space. It felt so good to run, to push 50 lbs. uphill, and to sweat.

Sleep Tight and Sleep Safely 2008-09-18 13:18:50 My son grows out of pajamas faster than I can blink. Even if he can last longer in sized clothing for day wear, he seems to outgrow pajamas daily.
