Saturday Morning Breastfeeding Comic
by heather
I follow a lot of online comics, one of them being “Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal.” Before you go scampering over to check it out, be warned — the topics are usually very offensive. Part of the humour is in the dark and twisted switcheroos on dark and twisted situations. Adultery and murder are commonplace, as [...]

Why You Don’t Need a Baby Bathtub
by heather
My latest post at ecochildsplay gives alternatives to the bulky, annoying, terminally un-useful plastic baby bathtub. This is #5 in my weekly series on “Baby Essentials That Aren’t”, things parents can live without despite what the “experts” tell you. Do check out the previous entries on Cribs, Infant Car Seats, Strollers, and Diapers, and watch [...]

Curriculum (and Other Stuff) for Sale…
by heather
If anyone is interested, I’ve got a few books I’d like to sell. Everything is located in Canada, I’ll ship to the US if you pay for the shipping costs of course. Cat-friendly, non-smoking home. I’ve offered these on homeschool forums ad nauseum with no takers. Honestly, I’d just like to get rid of [...]

Why We Don’t Need Strollers
by heather
My latest article at Eco Child’s Play in my weekly series, “Baby Essentials That Aren’t“, is now up and this week we scrutinize the stroller!
Of course strollers have their usefulness. I’ve even used one with Pomme… once or twice. But we can certainly get by without them, and in most situations a sling is MUCH [...]

Why We Don’t Need Baby Buckets
by heather
My latest post at Eco Child’s Play is a rant against the baby buckets… infant car seats! I know they’re convenient in certain situations, but they really are abused and overused, and most folks can easily get by without one at all.
Besides which, used as carriers, they promote isolation and detachment at best… and at [...]

Bump Maternity – A Baby Boutique Here In Fredericton!
by heather
I must correct myself. In a previous post, I said that “for the most part, you can only get slings online,” and that:
… specialty baby shops are starting to carry some slings other than the Baby Bjorn-style carriers. But buyer beware! Most of these are c-r-a-p.
Well it turns out that there is a baby boutique [...]

Kids Love to “Work” When It’s Montessori “Toys!”
by heather
I’ve put the words “work” and “toys” in quotes in the title of this article, because for young children, the ideas of “work” and “play” are synonymous. They have not yet made a judgment decision that “play” is all for fun and “work” is necessary but unpleasant. To the young child, everything is exploration and [...]

Whoops — Wednesday Recipe
by heather
Whoopsies… I’m still getting used to this whole blogging thing, all right? I’d planned to do a regular thing where I’d post a favourite recipe on Wednesdays. I even wrote it on my calendar for today!
Then I got this idea for a couple babywearing posts, one thing led to another, it’s now midnight and I’m [...]

Where to Find Good Slings in Canada
by heather
Probably the number-one most common question I’m asked when I’m out and about with Pomme in a sling — well, other than “is that really as comfortable as they say? — is “where can I get one?” Time after time I’ve chatted with young moms and older grandfathers and young couples just thinking about having [...]
