http://www.notafortune.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Ruminations on cookie inserts, both fortunes and not. Friday, September 14, 2012. I had the great fortune (ha! To attend Poet Laureate Natasha Trethewey's inaugural reading last night at the Library of Congress. I was there on behalf of my employer, but it was such fun that I'm having trouble defining it as "work." Poet Sandra Beasley. Was among the many literary luminaries I met, and she told me about a project she did in celebration of 2010's National Poetry Month. "The Ways of Poetry". I am a thirty-s...

Here We Grow!: Sleep Training Sucks
http://beckyandjonathan.blogspot.com/2011/09/sleep-training-sucks.html
This is the story of our little family getting bigger. Friday, September 2, 2011. Can't do it. Or can I? For 13 months, I have been firm in my resolve to not let my baby cry himself to sleep. Doesn't it seem horribly cruel? Yes But does it work? Until now, my answer has been- I don't care! Even if it works, is it worth it? My first idea was to sit in his room until he fell asleep. So he can learn to self-soothe but not feel abandoned. Perfect compromise, right? I know that cry-it-out is not the right cho...

The Toothless Grin: I've got him!
http://thetoothlessgrin.blogspot.com/2009/05/ive-got-him.html
An honest expression of the joys and challenges of motherhood. Thursday, May 7, 2009. One time was especially hilarious. I woke up believing that I was breastfeeding Jack only to find myself holding my boob. I panicked and in my search for Jack I woke up Tim. He said to me, "I have him right here.". I followed his arm to where he was indicating only to find an empty hand cupping his pillow. After turning on the light we both realized that my mom had Jack with her in the guest room.

The Toothless Grin: Jesus was NOT a mom.
http://thetoothlessgrin.blogspot.com/2010/03/jesus-was-not-mom.html
An honest expression of the joys and challenges of motherhood. Thursday, March 4, 2010. Jesus was NOT a mom. You know, it has once again been “one of those days.” It started out well. I was in a groove, getting work done, feeling good, when Tim and Jack came home. Immediately life was disrupted and it hasn’t really calmed down. Oh sure, we weren’t busy. Isn’t that crazy? We did go to the park, but that’s only stimulating for Jack, if you know what I mean. Let us then approach the throne of grace with con...
