Anti-Materialism Parenting - No New Toys, Hand Me Downs

I started telling people I was pregnant at about six weeks along, which, I know, is abnormal etiquette to begin with, but so is telling everyone you run into that you’re happy to intercept their baby garbage before it hits Goodwill / the Bermuda Triangle / the actual trash. Because, of course, even the most minimalist baby does need some things — a car seat, for example (New York City hospitals won 't let you leave without one, and mine quickly shot down my proposal to take the subway home with a newborn and stitches in my vagina). After I put the word out, I soon got a used car seat — and the used stroller it fit into, and a used crib, and a used breastfeeding pillow, a used high chair, used bottles, hand-me-down baby clothes of all sizes, and yes, even a used breast pump — from kind co-workers, neighbors, friends, family, and my dentist. My son has never worn new clothes, but I promise you he hasn’t noticed.

Moving On Up - My Moen Boardwalk Bathroom Faucet Installation & Review

Gambar
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Moen, Incorporated for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. I’ve mentioned a time or two that I’ve been in the process of revamping the tiny full bath in my home. I have big, big plans for that room and have already knocked quite a few of my projects out. Now some day soon my dad and I are going to replace the counter on my tiny vanity but we haven’t gotten around to it yet. And I figured why sit around with a pretty faucet like the Moen  Boardwalk Spot Resist bath faucet  sitting in a box when I could be using it? When it’s time to replace the counter we’ll remove it and put it back. They say if you do something once it will just be easier the second time around, right? Now to say that I installed the faucet is a total lie. I helped but I mostly took pictures. Russell is the one who did the installing and he’d never worked with plumbing before. We had our ups and downs and patches of confusion but in the end it worked out and I...

THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED. THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED. AARON BROWN, CNN ANCHOR: Good evening again. I'm Aaron Brown. Those of you who get the daily e-mail know I seem to be in a bit of a mood today. I hate that. It's just something about the week. The Middle East is always a tough one. The sides are so passionate and so certain. And this was a difficult week there. But it was more than that. Too many kids are dying. And while I know the statistics and I believe them, our kids are in no greater danger now, the fact is that too many, even if too many is just the average number, are dying. There was Samantha Runnion and today, this child in Missouri, Casey Williamson. There's a story I did in the newsbreak tonight about a kid in Florida who was swimming in a lake and contracted a deadly disease. And then, not far away in another lake, another kid, a different d...

Gloves or no gloves? Hand care after gardening

Gambar
Protecting a gardener’s hands: Your advice… Sometimes a post on our Flea Market Gardening Facebook page just strikes a chord with everyone.  This one did and the result is many fine tips for caring for our hands after gardening.  After all we still want to have soft hands…  Where do you stand on wearing gloves ? Awful hands! “My hands! I’m working them to the bone, and today THIS is what they feel like! Dirt under my fingernails just like when I was a kid! I pick up cement stepping stones to move them and feel the rough surface tear at my skin. What really gets me is the rough SIDES of my fingers that have tiny cracks. I should wear gloves more, I know, but I need someone to sternly tell me to do so! 🙂  What do you all do to care for your hands after gardening? ~~ Sue What you said: Deborah L. Cutter- Well, like you, I don’t like to wear gloves. I make sure I have a fingernail brush to get the dirt from under the nails when done and lots of lotion! Emily Diaz – The Satin hands sys...
