milk dreams: May 2010
http://www.milkdreams.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 29, 2010. All sunscreens are not created equal. I take Ruby outside as much as possible for fresh air and stimulation, but I am particularly sensitive to her sun protection needs because of a family history of skin cancer. When I first saw this awesome sunscreen guide. From the Environmental Working Group, I was excited. The two types of sunscreen that I had purchased this year and have been using on Ruby this spring- Badger. I also like that they have a Hall of Shame. Posted by Milk Mama.

milk dreams: April 2010
http://www.milkdreams.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 29, 2010. Sarah's silks: imagination play. I'm really into simple "toys." I try not to over-stimulate Ruby with a lot of lights and noises in the things she plays with (for example, in her Jumperoo, I never turn on the music and lights) because I want her to interact and play with people. The silk is so smooth and soft and it feels nice on Ruby's skin (at night, before bed, I sometimes just rub her with it or lightly swoosh it over her belly). It entertains her for long periods of time.

milk dreams: Petit Appetit cookbook: mother tested, baby approved
http://www.milkdreams.com/2010/08/petit-appetit-cookbook-mother-tested.html
Sunday, August 1, 2010. Petit Appetit cookbook: mother tested, baby approved. As you may know, I get a bit overwhelmed in the kitchen and much prefer to eat my husband's amazing cooking than try to whip anything up myself. However, Ruby is going through a phase where she's not interested in eating anything besides mama's milk. Even though Jude's been making her purees and foods for months now, she just up and decided that she would refuse everything but the boob. Here's what I made:. First, I whipped up ...

milk dreams: the three Ls
http://www.milkdreams.com/p/three-ls.html
Urban parenting may have its own unique challenges and opportunities, but children are children. Their basic needs are the same in the city, the suburbs, or the country. My philosophy on parenting is simple: laughter. Because you cannot take yourself too seriously in life, but especially in parenting. You’re going to make mistakes, so just laugh about them, learn from them, and move on. Laughter is good for the heart and soul. And it's contagious to your kids, too! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

milk dreams: urban milk
http://www.milkdreams.com/p/urban-milk.html
My mother is from a dairy farm in Minnesota. I went to high school in a mid-size town in Wisconsin. I have family and close friends who are mothers and fathers across the rural and suburban Midwest. I have seen enough to know that urban parenting is different…not necessarily easier or harder, but different. So don’t flee the city with your wee little loves! I can’t promise it’ll be easy, but let’s figure it out together. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The November 2009 milk dreams post entitled "raising a l...

milk dreams: beach baby, beach baby
http://www.milkdreams.com/2010/08/beach-baby-beach-baby.html
Sunday, August 1, 2010. Beach baby, beach baby. As the end of summer is drawing near, I'm itching to make it out to a beach somewhere on the coast before it's over. If I do succeed in planning a little mini-vacay, I'm going to need to pull out my tot tent from storage. That thing was a great-great purchase for a beach trip with an infant and I'm excited to get some more use out of it! How do I keep the sun from melting her? Where will I breastfeed? Happy blue-tinted baby in her little hideout:. AKA Annie...

milk dreams: beach baby, take two
http://www.milkdreams.com/2010/08/beach-baby-take-two.html
Saturday, August 21, 2010. Beach baby, take two. So, almost a year later, we snuck away for another quickie beach vacation (this time in the opposite direction to the Jersey Shore) with the baby. We pulled our baby beach tent. Out of storage and, to my delight, found that it actually fits into our large suitcase for traveling! Ruby loved to crawl in and out of the tent and was happy to sit inside playing with toys and reading books. For quick nursing sessions. Posted by Milk Mama. Beach baby, take two.

Sunday, March 21, 2010. Spring fever = baby fever. Spring fever 2009 (already huge. At the beginning of my third trimester,. Before giving birth to Ruby! Along these lines, birth has been on my mind.

milk dreams: baby + passport = ready for anything!
http://www.milkdreams.com/2010/08/baby-passport-ready-for-anything.html
Sunday, August 22, 2010. Baby passport = ready for anything! In the spring, we were toying with a couple of opportunities that were presenting themselves for us to go abroad this summer. We didn't have any definite plans (and ended up not making them after all), but realized that- duh! Ruby should have a passport, just in case. Anyway, last March, we spent a morning at the post office applying for Ruby's passport. She got it in the mail a few weeks later. International travel, here I come! Have passport ...
