Last night, I went to bed with baby at 8 & slept 3 hours, nursing her a bit after 11. I got up then to blog and play on the computer. And for no good reason, I checked my work email, and read an email that left …
I want to work harder on being in the now. Right now. Not tomorrow, the distant future, any other time. This morning we were out at the car, getting ready to go. I was standing around while my husband played a bit with baby. All was well. Baby was super happy. The car was a …
“Blowout” was a favourite expression of a friend in grad school. He used it to describe anything that was more abundant than usual. So, in my quiet life, today was a bit of a Baha’i blowout. First incident: Reading an article in The Chronicle of Higher Ed. Actually, an advice column about dealing with interview …
Our little 1-year-old continues to amaze me. Crawling over with an open mouth so I can stuff some fried greens in. Shaking a cloth napkin wildly in front of her face, big big grin! Lifting up a whole tin filled with flour, arms wrapped around it, and rotating on her bum on the floor. Climbing …
Husband and I were both a bit grumpy this morning. Not quite sure why, but we each had our own reasons for being slightly off and not the most cheerful. We left the house and vowed that we would cheer up, but it didn’t happen right away. Finally, after much organizing and reorganizing and putting …
Today we had baby’s birthday party. A big, blow-out party, you ask?

We’re starting with her first birthday and hope to keep it up. We had family over – 6 guests total. My …
Baby’s birthday today. One year she has been with us. And we’ve been parents for one year. What a massive transformation in our lives! I took her for a walk this afternoon. It was getting near naptime and she was fussy, but as we strolled she showed no signs of sleep. We went down a …
One year ago today, I woke up to intermittent cramping in my belly. I settled in for 4 hours of work on a paper, finishing the draft which I’d been working on for several years. I went for a walk in the beautiful sunshine. As the contractions continued, we went out to dinner with our …
Imagine that you are given one wish for the planet. The big kahuna – world peace – is off the table. Instead, you have to choose one of the lesser issues to address: hunger, global warming, slavery, for example. If I had my wish, I would abolish sleep training from the planet. Why this, out …
I’d love to write something more uplifting. So here’s a combo. Today was one of those days. Baby slept in until 8 which would have been great on the weekend but made the morning kind of rushed. At work just in time for a multi-hour training call with Vancouver. I realized as we started that …
