    Book Recommendation: From Diapers to Dating

    August 15, 2011 / 11 Comments


    I belong to an online community of mothers in Austin (called Austin Mamas) and a mothers’ group in my neighborhood (called The Heights’ Kids Group). Someone on one of the lists recommended the book called From Diapers to Dating: A Parent’s Guide to Raising Sexually Healthy Children.

    I immediately ordered the book from the library, but when it arrived, I was hesitant to read it. I felt like I wasn’t prioritizing my parenting needs appropriately. I mean, surely there are more urgent and important things for me to be reading about as the mother of a 5-month old?

    August 11, 2011 / 8 Comments
    The East Side of Austin

    Life has been pretty rough around here, friends.

    First, Matt has been looking for a new job so we can move to Austin, while simultaneously talking with his current job about telecommuting from Austin. Everything in that department has been pretty uncertain for something like three months. Uncertain and stressful.

    Then, to add to that stress, I have taken on way too many projects. I won’t bore you by listing them all again; I’ll just reiterate that it was too much to tackle in a calm manner, while trying to take care of Henry all day, every day.

    Before I got pregnant, I did
