Confessions of a lazy breastfeeder.

Confessions of a lazy breastfeeder.

I have something to confess. I am a lazy, lazy breastfeeding mama. Case in point. My three and a half-year old daughter still nurses at night. Which means 2-3 times a night she gets out of her bed, walks to our room, crawls in to bed with me and nurses for anywhere from 1 minute to 30 minutes depending on how sleepy I am. And since I am usually quite sleepy, it’s closer to the half hour mark than not. I know she doesn’t “need” to nurse at this time, I know I “should” have night-weaned her months/years ago, but I didn’t. Oh, I have tried, more than a few times, really I have, but two happy sleeping people always seemed to be more important to me than one crying and then fitfully sleeping baby and one miserable mama. I am also quite the lazy breastfeeder in other ways....

Gentle Discipline – AKA ‘Damage Control’.

April 17, 2011
By

I have a toddler and a pre-schooler. Discipline is a daily, if not hourly, part of my life. So when I heard that the Attachment Parenting Edmonton Society was bringing renowned Canadian speaker and author, Judy Arnall, to Edmonton to speak about gentle discipline, I bought a ticket to the event immediately. Because I need help. I don’t spank my kids, but I have smacked hands and I have tried time outs, reward systems, 123 Magic and my biggest tool-my voice. Yes, I am a yeller. And now, both my kids are turning into yellers. It typically goes down something like this. Mommy lets herself get to the point of anger and then yells at preschooler to do/not do something, preschooler sees this and then yells at toddler to do/not do something, toddler yells back at preschooler because she is frustrated and them Mommy yells at everyone to just...

Happy New Year Everyone!

January 13, 2010

So, it’s a new year, a new decade and yes, I am a year older (my birthday is January 1st).  I am not sure how I feel yet about being two years away from 40, but so far it is OK.  I mean, really, isn’t 40 the new 20??  Or is that just in Hollywood? I have not made resolutions this year. I would call them more like life commitments.  I started doing Bikram (hot) yoga a few months ago and have fallen madly, deeply in love with it!  I have rheumatoid arthritis and had always assumed that I could not do yoga because of my joint limitations.  Well, thanks to a friend who dragged me to a class, I am a complete convert.  And the heat (it’s between 95-105 degrees Farenheit) and 50% humidity just help to loosen up all my joints.  I wish I had started doing...
