Finding Your Inner Mama book review
Steinberg, Eden. (Ed). Finding Your Inner Mama: Women Reflect on the Challenges and Rewards of Motherhood. Shambhala Publications: New York, 2007. I seem to have developed a bit of an addiction.

Matchy McMatchersons!
While I think it’s kinda weird to dress your kids like mini-me ALL the time … sometimes it’s super cute. My husband and my daughter own matching orange crinolines, for instance.

Hypnobirthing isn’t really hypnosis, and it’s not just for birth
A couple months into my pregnancy, my mom gave me and Andreas a gift certificate for 12 hours of private Hypnobirthing training with a certified instructor.

Chalkboard wall decals for your kid’s room

These are not the fingerpuppets you’re looking for
How awesome are these Star Wars finger puppets? SUPER WAY AWESOME, that is how much. I know a bunch of kids (and, um, adults really big kids) who would love these. And can you imagine the possibilities one could dream up? Chewbacca could come with your kids to the Doctor’s office. Yoda could advise the […]
