Kiss My Booties, Bedtime!

Posted on November 18, 2010 by BrassyDel

As serious an issue as toddler tantrums are, they’re also hilarious. I think it’s important to keep your cool when dealing with a tantrum, and keeping earplugs a sense of humor about it really helps me with that. At 17 months old, Pixie is fully into experimenting with the social tactic of tantruming and has been working on her technique….

Miracles and Miseries

Posted on October 29, 2010 by BrassyDel

As of today, I am 17 weeks pregnant (by the way, I’m pregnant!). Since I don’t get out much, nobody has told me this go around about how much they just loooooved being pregnant, daydream face and all. Being pregnant with Pixie was rough at times, but this… this is getting ridiculous. What with one thing after another, I don’t…

Clearly, I’m a Bad Mother

Apparently, it had been just slightly too long between diaper changes and miss Pixie was soaked. Soaked! I got her totally stripped down and changed and then had to run upstairs to grab her some dry clothes. In the time it took me to get upstairs, grab her clothes, and run back downstairs, Pixie was already up on the futon…

Dance, Baby, Dance

Pixie is 15 months old, which means that very knowledgeable people with many letters after their names think she absolutely ought not to watch a minute of television for another 9 months. Fortunately for them, Pixie doesn’t really like television. Pixie likes books (for eating), cheese cubes (for throwing), and her very own playhouse that looks suspiciously like my dog’s…

Fluff Butt Giveaways

Posted on September 5, 2009 by BrassyDel

As many of my friends know (much to their repeated annoyance, I’m sure) I’m a huge fan of cloth diapers. Baby H has been in cloth since about two weeks old, and it’s difficult sometimes since she is so, so tiny. Cloth diapers that rave about being OS (one size) and can take your child “from birth to potty training!”…

The Nursing Mommy Celebration

Posted on August 19, 2009 by BrassyDel

My Four Monkeys is hosting “The Nursing Mommy Celebration” over at her blog next week! There will be reviews and giveaways, so I will definitely be participating. If you’re a nursing mommy, know one, or know an expectant mommy, I recommend checking out the giveaways over at My Four Monkeys next week. A Boppy pillow is an awesome thing, and…

Kissaluvs!

We’ve been cloth diapering Hanners since she got big enough to fit her diaper covers (she was born at under 6 pounds, so she was too tiny at first!) and it’s been great. Yes, the disposable diapers were convenient, but they were also expensive and made her tushy VERY red and she started getting diaper rash after a couple of…

I now have a new favorite internet acronym: NAK, or Nursing at Keyboard. Without it, I’m not sure I’d ever get the chance to check my email again! Our first little bundle of joy arrived two weeks early, and is doing just great. Sure, it’d be nice if she slept a little more at night and cried a little less…

They come in pink!

As promised, today I have pictures! Yesterday I washed the baby clothes from newborn size to 3 months and all of my cloth diapers plus their covers. Lots of folding later, I now have a mostly set up changing table. Bottom shelf has two stacks of pre-folds and the wider stack is my birdseye flats. Far right, diaper covers in…

Getting close!

Well, we’re about 6 weeks from Baby’s due date. Realistically, that means she could arrive as early as 2 or 3 weeks from now and still be “full term” or as late as 7 or 8 weeks from now. We’ve gotten some of our baby prep into gear, like setting up the nursery. It needed a little bit of paint…
