  Breastfeeding at the Museum

  02.09.12 | Permalink | Comment?

  It’s time for another breastfeeding post! Or as I usually call it, nursing. As in (to my baby because she’s the main one I talk about this to): Time for nursing? Want to have nursing and nappers? Nursing and nigh-nights? (I never thought I’d babytalk, and then you should have heard Tom and me even [...]

  Waiting for the bus

  03.29.10 | Permalink | 8 Comments

  For several years now, I’ve been worried that I’ll be hit by a bus at any moment. And die, leaving my three daughters and my husband who will marry some tall blonde thing forthwith and have seven sons with her. All because of a phrase in his Patriarchal Blessing, that he will “deal with sons [...]

  The thing I love best about Tom

  Today at church I entertained some (quite probably blasphemous) thoughts. I was bursting to share them, but I restrained myself throughout the beautiful, music playing softly in the background lesson on Jesus Christ, our chosen Leader and Savior.

  I must warn you: This is not a funny post. I don’t even try to be funny here. But I do gain Greek-tragedy-like catharsis, and so can you! Someone made me mad at church today. Not an uncommon occurrence, though usually I just feel sympathy for the mis-opinionated. Unlike Giselle in Enchanted, I easily recognize [...]

  Does a kangaroo have a mother too?

  Easter was just another opportunity for me to feel oppressed and traumatized as a child. Like Halloween but with less publicizing of how terribly awkward my parents were — at least we didn’t have to hide in the basement from trick-or-treaters on Easter. My parents were your basic conscientious-pagan-tradition-abstainers. We didn’t get Easter bonnets or [...]

  How open lines of communication and pet names can strengthen your most important relationship

  So, Dick works for a company that is in the top 10 of conservative companies in the entire world. He loves his job. Even though he has to wear a suit everyday and shine his shoes and be interviewed as to his personal righteousness every two years. He actually says he doesn’t notice his tie [...]
