“Inside Voices, Please!” – Stopping Kids’ Arguments Before They Can Start

“Inside Voices, Please!” – Stopping Kids’ Arguments Before They Can Start

Kids fight. It's something we tell ourselves over and over again, as once again we are forced to reach a conclusion on an argument. We remind ourselves of our childhood, how our siblings switched from being our best friends to our enemies in the course of a single day. It's natural for children who live in such proximity to one another to occasionally blow up and argue. Some would even suggest … [Read more...]

Good News! (A Pregnancy Update)

If you're subscribed to my newsletter (and why wouldn't you be?), you got the news on Monday that my first ultrasound last week was less than optimal. The doctor found a gestational sac, but no fetal pole or heartbeat. Since the sac was still small, we were scheduled for a follow up appointment to see if the sac would grow over the following week. I was advised to keep taking my prenatal vitamin … [Read more...]

I’m not sure eating my placenta helped (but I would do it again!)

I dabbled with the idea of consuming my placenta for quite a while. It seemed like a no brainer. Women raved about all the benefits of it - increasing iron stores, helping milk supply, replenish nutrients to the body, it seemed awesome. But the he idea of eating an organ (I hadn't eaten meat since 2006), let alone an organ that come out from my body wasn't something that appealed to me. Most of … [Read more...]
