No, Our Generation Is Not Ruining Our Children

January 8, 2018 by Heather Dixon 2 Comments

I love to read. Especially blogs and articles on everything to do with the messy, wonderful, exhausting and exhilarating life of being a parent. For the most part, I like what I read. I pick little nuggets of information here and there that I think works for me and leave the rest. But when I … [Read more...]

Comic-Con May Have Saved Me From Co-Sleeping

January 26, 2016 by Sara 1 Comment

If you're a regular Comic-Con goer and you found yourself here by way of a google search, I apologize that this is not some lurid post about Batman and Daenerys Targaryen acting out some Fifty Shades of Grey business. This is about one mother using her child's dream to reclaim what is rightfully … [Read more...]

Confessions of a Co-Sleeper

August 26, 2014 by Sara 2 Comments

It'll go so smoothly after six weeks. B. Soon you won't remember all these sleepless nights. C. To stop them from crying, … [Read more...]

Sleep Deprived

October 1, 2013 by Alanna 2 Comments

This is what our bed looks like most mornings. The Hubs and I hanging on for dear life to our respective sides and L'il E and LJ sprawled out in the middle. We have always been in the "kids sleep in their own beds" camp - L'il E was in his own crib and bedroom as soon as we got home from the … [Read more...]

Sleeping with a kickboxer

October 29, 2012 by HeatherFawcett

Did that just evoke visions of a glistening hard bodied man throwing you down passionately between the sheets?  It would for me except that the kick boxer in my bed is a two year old with the kick of a martial arts master.  It used to be a little baby kick, cute little … [Read more...]

My unconventional family bed

November 10, 2011 by HeatherFawcett

    We have a night time routine.   Roman goes to bed around 8-8:30pm usually after a bath and always after a few rounds of going up and down the flight of stairs.  He seems to need a little stair climbing before slumber, who am I to question it.  I put on his lulaby … [Read more...]

Great Expectations

March 29, 2011 by Amanda

There is a mother at my daughter's ballet class who has a baby who's a few months older than mine. I showed up at class a few weeks ago, frazzled and exhausted, and we got to chatting about our little ones. I asked her how her baby slept at night and she chimed, "Oh, GREAT! She goes 12 hours … [Read more...]

Big Comfy Bed

September 9, 2010 by shawnd

A few months ago, I announced (bravely, some might say) that my wife and I are co-sleepers.  Pea has never been a good sleeper and since Day 1 preferred the comfort of her parents over the loneliness of her crib.  We have always been receptive to this arrangement.  We work long … [Read more...]

The Sleep Solution: The Family Bed

July 21, 2010 by FreshnLocal

It seems from reading most of these posts that most people have a very regimented approach to sleep. I always find it amazing that people can be such warm and loving parents during the day but then, once the sun goes down, everything changes. It is amazing that in Western culture we force our … [Read more...]
