Graceful Parenting in Austin

I haven’t worn shoes for two weeks. Bed rest is over tomorrow. But Blue Eyes and I were thinking, since I’m able to walk around and sit up lately, that I could do these things while eating dinner at Threadgill’s. I had to find my shoes, they felt strange on my feet. I had to [...]

Sarah Palin fascinates me. A conservative and an ambitious, working Mom. It doesn’t fit into the every day definitions of how we divide the red and the blue and I love reading about how people react to her. It got me to thinking, I wonder what the Attachment Parenting folks think?
I’ve said already in this [...]

I just almost wet my pants the other day. I got this email…

My name is A. Alter, and I’m a reporter at the Wall Street Journal. I’m working on an article about church shopping and came across a blog post that you wrote about your church shopping experience. I was wondering if you would be [...]

- I have never more fully appreciated the importance and value of a digestive system that works as intended.
- I can’t believe they make you work when you are pregnant. This is REALLY hard. They should let you stay home on sick leave, but not with the kids, that would be TWICE as hard, they [...]

Last Tuesday was my birthday, well my make-up birthday because the Tuesday before that Baby Girl was sick and mostly Blue Eyes and I took turns holding her close and cleaning up the mess, so last Tuesday was MY day. Blue Eyes and I took vacation days and he got Sophia off to day care [...]

There aren’t many qualifications for being a blogger. Just a computer, an account and a little something to say. But, no, there is one more thing. You must actually take the time to write blog posts. So, I stand before you and admit that I haven’t written much at all lately and I am a [...]

I wrote a post today on BlogHer exposing the real story about Mother Teresa. I used the journalistic style of Jerome Corsi of Obama Nation and Swift Boat fame.
I have been having a VERY hard time blogging lately, more news to come on why, but I some how, with what little strength I had left, [...]
