There was no procrastinating it any longer. If I kept putting it off, I’d have had to declare myself a chicken and a fraud and a fake for everything that I happen to believe a “Fab Mom” should be able to handle. No can do. (Frankly, I need to be a ‘fab mom’ because there…

Please get off my boob.
Ok, so my title here is probably a bit harsh, but I haven’t finished my coffee yet so I’m using that as an excuse for my brashness. Thanks to the now-infamous Time Magazine cover, recent debates and ongoing media “conversations” about attachment parenting that won’t go away (like on today’s Anderson) I’ve finally hit a breaking…

(I also shamelessly promised to share these tips at the end…
If the Irish only knew what I did with cabbage this weekend…

Here we go again…
Aaaaaaaand, I’m back. But it might be in small intervals in the coming weeks (considering that I have a new little small creature to look after between running after LadyP).
