When Callum was born, I said we’d for sure do potty learning by 2. And then he turned 2 and that seemed like a rather bad idea. We were still without words at that point (which while words are certainly not necessary for PL, they do make the process easier I think). And with little [...]

Ok, I’m sure some of you savvy readers already knew about the magic elixir of coconut oil. But until 2 months ago, I was totally in the dark.

While companies like Horizon say they use vegetarian-based Omega 3 fatty acids to enrich their milk, I can’t stop imagining fish oil floating around in the milk. Gag. Evidence shows that Omega 3s can improve health by reducing [...] I just returned from my first appointment with a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) doctor, and I am truly amazed. Maybe I’m in disbelief. I actually feel good. One aspect of attachment parenting is finding balance in your life. This blends nicely with TCM, which also focuses on balance in all aspects of a person. Three months [...] I wrote a few weeks ago about beginning the Early Intervention process for Callum – at almost 20 months, he still doesn’t use any words. Since then we’ve had two screenings; one of the bad things about the EI process is that there tends to be several weeks of lag time between each step.
