The
Ease and Convenience of Homemade Baby Food (Really!)
Baby in a highchair, mom in front with a small spoon and a jar of baby food.
It looks like something right out of a parenting magazine, and its a scene
that is played out several times a day in the majority of homes with small
babies. Unfortunately, its also a powerful marketing image that can cost a
family a great deal of money in the long run.
Surprising
New Info About Children, Allergies, and Pets
Have you wondered whether to get your child a pet or not? Does your family
have a history of allergies and have you been told by your pediatrician it’s
not a good idea? There’s interesting news from the Medical College of George (MCG), evidence
from a new study about children and pets published in the Journal of the
American Medical Association that having pets may actually help with
allergies.
Sharing the Love
Lately, I have been looking back at my life with one sick child with nastalgia.
Having two sick kids can make you do that.
The cold bug bit my son a couple of weeks before Christmas, and we are still
battling it. As a parent, it breaks your heart to see your little one struck
by a cold. Yet, with just one child, you seem to manage, let the cold run its
course and come out of it about a week later, none the worse for wear. But add
another germ playground (a.k.a. child) to the equation, and ripping all of
your hair out is, to be certain, a much easier battle.
Legume
Legends
A soybean is also wonderful. It is round, healthy, full of protein without an
ounce of fat. Many people drink it in its liquid form. They mash it, curd it,
and call it tofu. A soybean is a wonderous thing!
Complete,
As Nature Intended
My second son was born January 2, 1997 at 9:10 p.m. Early the next morning
when he was less than a day old a pediatrician came into the room to give him
a check-up. He took off his diaper and said "Your son will be circumcised
this morning." I replied "No he won't!" The doctor stopped what
he was doing, turned to look at me for the first time since entering the room,
and after glaring at me so long that I was beginning to feel like a small
child who had done wrong, he said, "Have you thought about this ?"
"Yes I have," I replied, "I researched it well."
