Musings of a Not-So-Stay-at-Home Mom. Saturday, July 24, 2010. But, let’s be real. Sometimes even a set-time-“ish” isn’t enough.

Musings of a Not-So-Stay-at-Home Mom. Friday, July 18, 2014. Don't Dis the Playdate. I read this blog as a result of a friend’s Facebook share: http:/ www.dadncharge.com/2014/07/banish-playdate.html? It got me thinking. I had several responses pop into my head, a number of them pretty snarky, so I’ll try to clean them up here, both in terms of organization and niceties. So, sure, let your kids have spontaneous play as much as they can. I love it when my kids have pick-up play with neighbors, and I re...

Musings of a Not-So-Stay-at-Home Mom: Vaccination
http://notsostayathomemom.blogspot.com/2012/07/vaccination.html
Musings of a Not-So-Stay-at-Home Mom. Tuesday, July 31, 2012. I firmly believe in vaccination. My kids are vaccinated. My husband is vaccinated. Even our cats are vaccinated! I actually think everyone who isn’t immune-compromised (or otherwise medically unable to be vaccinated) should be vaccinated. Yes, everyone.). I think vaccines are fantastic. We modern parents can revel in the sniffles and coughs and colds our children bring home. This is an amazing thing. I clicked the link. I read the article.

Musings of a Not-So-Stay-at-Home Mom. Sunday, January 24, 2010. I wonder how many other parents out there are “nod and smile” parents like me? Since having DD, I have learned one of the best overall parenting rules: trust your instincts, and as a result, I have become a “nod and smile” parent. Let me tell you the story. We went back to the doctor for a check-in. Still no weight gain, so he told me to use a supplemental nursing system (SNS). Ever heard of that? It’s a delightful contraption. You...For inf...

Musings of a Not-So-Stay-at-Home Mom: Missing Toy Parts? No Problem!
http://notsostayathomemom.blogspot.com/2011/09/missing-toy-parts-no-problem.html
Musings of a Not-So-Stay-at-Home Mom. Saturday, September 3, 2011. Usually, toys come and toys go, but sometimes, as all parents know, your children become attached to a particular toy (often inexplicably! And then, one day, that toy goes missing or loses a key part. What’s a parent to do? Tip #1: If a toy comes with a manual or other information, keep it. Tip #3: Never hesitate to contact a manufacturer. When I contact a manufacturer, I asked about their replacement policy. Some will replace parts (...

Musings of a Not-So-Stay-at-Home Mom. Tuesday, March 16, 2010. Ah, the sweet, sweet feeling of vindication. Remember my comments about dealing with a doctor (and nurse practitioner) aghast that I was feeding my four-month-old daughter solids? So, all that stuff they told me when DD was little? All that hell they gave me for feeding her solids at four months? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Sorry, I just had to have a moment of gleeful vindictive laughter. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Musings of a Not-So-Stay-at-Home Mom: The Allowance
http://notsostayathomemom.blogspot.com/2015/07/allowance.html
Musings of a Not-So-Stay-at-Home Mom. Wednesday, July 29, 2015. Allowance. How much, for what, when? This topic regularly comes up with parents. There are a variety of approaches to allowances, and every family will have to decide what fits with their values, parenting style, and child’s (or children’s) personalities. When our daughter was going into first grade, we gave this issue a lot of thought. I read a couple of articles and books, including the fantastic Kids, Money, and Values. 8221; We may buy h...
