I was reminded about those things they call books after reading Jim Lewis’ post about Nancy Drew and squirrels (not to be missed, go check it out). I used to read… and read and read and read. As a child I would get in trouble for reading too much, mostly when I was supposed to […]

Swearing – why can’t our kids do it?
Right. Let me start off by saying that I have some pretty weird takes on parenting sometimes. I’m sure that once I’ve had to be a parent for a little while longer than a scant eight months, my viewpoint will change drastically. But right now, I have the luxury of not yet having had the […]

At least there’s always Venus.
I’m currently in our car. G is asleep tucked up in his car seat in the backseat. I can just make him out, snoozing, by the light of my screen. M is in front driving, listening to Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me. To my right in the night sky are the moon, haloed when viewed […]

Baby-Led Weaning: My Little Woodchuck
How many cukes would a G-chuck chuck if a G-chuck could chuck cukes? And a G-chuck would chuck cukes if a G-chuck could chuck cukes. So, how many cukes would a G-chuck chuck if a G-chuck could chuck cukes? We started on the adventure of Baby-Led Weaning when G hit 6 months as he seemed […]

NaBloPoMo
Yes. I’ve taken the plunge, I’m participating in November’s NaBloPoMo. For those of you not in the know, this means I’ve committed to writing a blog post EVERY DAY for the month of November. This will be a bit challenging as I generally write posts on breaks from work on weekdays. It’s not at all […]

Take it away Eric the orchestra leader!
I am a Monty Python fan. I owned a python once (how did that not make it onto my list of “I have done“s???), and its name was NOT “Monty”. Everyone names their snake “Monty”. No, mine was named “Eric”, and that’s how you can tell I’m a more discerning Python devotee, because ALL animals […]

Mama Kat’s: 22 Things I’ve Done
This is so late… but it was worth the exercise anyway! 🙂 Enjoy. 1. I have seen Mao and Lenin, they don’t look like dead bodies. But they don’t look like wax figures, either. Creepy. 2. I’ve been lost on the Moscow subway. A kind gentleman from Nairobi (studying in Moscow at the time) took […]

Thankful Tuesdays: Halloween Success
Other costumes called to me from the pages of glossy made-for-moms-who-always-wear-makeup magazines. You came to me from the gently-worn store on my local strip. I adopted you with trepidation, worried you wouldn’t find a good home with us. Worried you’d be rejected and end up tear- and spit-up-stained, discarded and lonely on the floor. I […]

How to Measure Your Breasts for a Blog Post
This one goes out to all my BFing homies, yo. Werd to your babas. G woke up at 1:45AM this morning. This is not unusual. He’s EBF (that’s Exclusively Breast Fed to those of you not in the know) and sleeps with me and M, and he wakes a few times a night to nurse. […]
