NaBloPoMo 2008 - Day 12
Here’s another gizmo that we use quite a lot, it’s our funky pink shopping trolley, or as we call them in Ireland, our granny trolley. Nobody uses them in Galway, even grannies, so we look slightly nutty trundling it around behind us, but it is fantastic!
Mr. HPP is from Dublin and [...]

I am part of many different online communities, vegan groups, natural birthing groups, attachment/responsive parenting groups, vegan parenting groups, babywearing groups and so on. I find the advice and friendships I’ve made in these groups to be invaluable. Especially my online longer term breastfeeding buddies, I’d be adrift without all of you to chat to [...]

I’m busy tidying up stuff, mostly baby stuff, you know keeping the really lovely bits & bobs in those magic vacuum bags for ourselves (and hopefully our next baba), making a bag of things for my sisters/sisters-in-law for when they have more babies, sending the clean but not-us (fake fur coat, babygros with bottles on [...]

Oh we are absolutely soaked, well we were, we’re dry now. Myself and Littlepixie went for a stroll up to the Farmer’s Market for our weekly organic veg shop. There was a light drizzle in the air so I popped LP into the buggy, covered her up and off we went. All grand. Did our [...]

October is such a busy month in the blogosphere! API launched Attachment Parenting Month yesterday, the theme this year is “Giving our Children Presence”.
Children thrive in the presence of sensitive and loving adults. Research confirms what we already know about providing these critical, yet fleeting experiences. As busy parents, we are challenged to invest our [...]

My latest post for API Speaks, inspired by my recent menu planning…
I’ve always liked to feel in control of my life. In my pre-baby days (back in the mists of time) I used to work full time in various office environments. My desk was always tidy, my in-tray cleared by every evening, my out-tray filed [...]

Myself & Littlepixie are housebound with colds at the moment, but the lovely postie-man called this morning with a package for us. Yes, I bought another sling. In my defense though, I am neither a shoe nor a handbag type of lady so I am entitled to my slings
It’s a Manduca SSC (Soft [...]
