Have any of you read the article in the WSJ’s weekend edition, The Perils of Texting While Parenting? When I read it, I immediately thought about a recent incident in which I was complimented for not being “one of those moms pushing a stroller and talking on the phone at the same time.” Right away,…
You see that big plastic fence in front of the fireplace? It’s the only thing we’ve baby-proofed in the house. We’re in trouble… Tweet

Guess you guys had better get busy. Grandma is feeling an urge to “help” and you know that will probably mean your house will look like the interior of Ft. Knox by the time she gets done. ;)
October was my month of resolutions! I signed up for an online photography class, enrolled in a daily writing challenge, dedicated myself to organizing our home room by room, decided I should start making my own baby food, started Avery in swim lessons, was happy to be able to start going to Pilates regularly now that…

I just re-read my last post about diapers bags and am laughing at myself. Glamorous? Spend $500? Ha! Ha times a million! I ended up choosing a diaper bag that was practical and anything but glamorous. And I love it! It’s actually a Lululemon Triumphant Tote gym bag. It has all of the perfect features of…

Congrats Cathryne on your beautiful baby boy AND your win! Thank you Aimee for the tour of your diaper bag. I’m sure the info will come in handy when I have my Avery weekend! You have quite the strategy going on there. :)

Yeah, Trip – I mean, the win comes with a prize!
Seth grew up in a house located on about 40 acres in the middle of a forest near the coast of southwest Oregon. The climate there is actually very much like a rainforest. While most San Diegans complain at the mere sight of a grey cloud, Seth suggests going on walks in “real weather.” “But, it’s raaiiining,” I’ll whine. “What,…
deb cole - no problem here, but I have a dumb phone (a basic cell phone), so maybe that’s the ONLY reason why I’m not a texting parent.
With everything moderation is key. I think you can be a tech parent and still be a good parent, you just have to learn 5 W’s of what is appropriate. You have to set guidelines and boundaries, just like we do for our kiddos. I don’t think we ever outgrow that.
Alex - I love listening to Avery’s sweet little voice. I wish I could be with both of you on those morning walks. I’m impressed she’s reading the WSJ with her daddy already. Is that newsprint in her hand? Love that beautiful little face! :)
