The Motherhood Manual: Why you need to rush out and buy some techno music
First off, there are at least two (thousand) conflicting opinions on whether you should ever wake a baby. Do you wake him so he will be on a regular feeding schedule, or do you “never wake a sleeping baby” (see chapter on knockers to determine if you have a high enough pain threshold)? In the … Continue reading
Tech or trek: on ice
I’m still motivated to get us out away from our tech on the weekends, so today we did a little walk along the lake in search of fresh air and prettiness amongst the brown. The boys (all 4 of them) had fun playing on the ice. I liked taking pictures of the little red and … Continue reading
Just Life…
First off, I’m happy to see that I am not related to all the people who have “liked” the Twyste Facebook page. If I am related to you and you liked the page, that still makes me happy; but it’s nice to see some others filling in too! On to today, though… I’ve been going … Continue reading
Who’s cracking you up?

Between my Facebook page help, comments on this blog, and in-person suggestions, I had a number of options to choose from. The suggestions included: 1) the obvious but … Continue reading
The “crack up” award
Today I spoke with one of the less delightful people who works for the State of Oregon. She was condescending and just generally not my favorite person by the end (early middle) of our conversation. I wanted to say “look lady, I have a masters degree in neuropsychology (that’s my “go to” smarty pants credential, … Continue reading
The Motherhood Manual: How to nurse in public without baring it all …kind of
One of my friends totally called me out on last week’s post. In my post, I made it sound like I simply nursed my baby and put him to bed (Hallmark image). She reminded me, however, that as a new mom I felt pretty shy about nursing in public, even in front of friends. The … Continue reading
Oh look… a chicken!
At my house we often use the quote “oh look… a chicken!” when someone says something totally off topic. We first saw the phrase on a t-shirt in Wireless or Signals or one of those other similar magazines that show up before Christmas. It was on a t-shirt that said something about “People say I … Continue reading
