ShareToday, I finally got around to seeing my favorite pregnancy chiropractor. Yes, indeed, there are chiropractors that specifically treat pregnant women, and yes, it is safe. I go for a chiropractic massage, which is 45 minutes of targeted massage done by the chiropactor himself. This time, it was for sciatica-like pain in my right hip, [...]
ShareI’ve recently been reconsidering homeschool as an option for my family. The spouse-unit and I have always been open to the idea, and felt it was best decided by the temperament of our children. We’ve always been fans of Waldorf education, and have always planned to send our kids to a Waldorf school. Recently, we [...]

ShareThink about it. They spend nine months curled up in a ball. Sure, it’s nice to be able to stretch a little once they’re out, but if you’ve ever gently tugged on a newborn’s limbs, you probably noticed the spring effect. Their little arms and legs bounce right back into that semi-curled state. For a [...]
Share I bought the Boon FrogPod with bath toys when Spice was six-months-old and have loved using it for her bath every single day. I opted for this one instead of the Boon Frog Pod alone because the $10 difference seemed worth it for bath toys, and I don’t regret the choice. I really liked [...]
