Parent wars – be nice to other parents

Posted in Family, Parenting  8 Comments
Parent wars - be nice to other parents I know that this picture has received much comment. Most about whether a child this age should be breast feeding and then on the pros and cons of Attachement parenting. The photo is meant to be evocative, to get people to buy a magazine. It is very clever, if it was a more hippy looking mom (and I say this without any malice, just to illustrate a...

Baby Jar Pin Cushion

Baby Jar Pin Cushion I am part of a swap group on Ravelry and the swap at the moment is a Green/Eco inspired swap. I was looking for a pin cushion pattern the other day and I saw this Pin Cushion Jar Topper from the Green Dragonfly in the patterns file and loved it, but sadly I don’t crochet so I set about doing one for knitting.

Pink Hair Journey I realized that this month I will have had pink hair for 3 years. Time really has flown by. I thought I would do a quick picture walk through the pink hair journey to date. Life with pink hair is certainly less than ordinary, I once watched a lady walk into a pillar because she was staring at me so much, but it also quickly becomes ‘normal’ when...

Sustainable living – Money

Sustainable living - Money One reason I did the budget was that things were running away from us and like Julia said in the comments yesterday the coffee here and muffin there soon adds up. I really do feel more in control now. But the other reason was that to be truly sustainable, we have to be living within our money framework too. Being in debt is not sustainable and money...
