My last Sunday of maternity leave.

Twentieth-century parents kept their National Geographic Magazines so their kids could cut them up for school projects. But we’re in the digital age now. Do kids still make collages, and don’t they do so with pictures they download from the Internet?
We have 15 years’ worth.
I’m in a real “the amount of time involved in managing our STUFF is soul-crushingly large” funk today.

The latest Deceptively Delicious recipes: last night, a tomato-meatball soup with butternut squash and sweet potato puree. This morning, individual egg puff souffles (baked in ceramic cups!) with yellow squash. This afternoon, gingerbread spice cake with pumpkin and (gulp) broccoli. All have been well received.

The house looks amazing. Why did we wait five years to get rid of the god-awful white walls?

Sweet baby J’s eczema is still intermittently awful. There’s no rhyme or reason to it. Now it looks like he’s breaking out exactly where we put the Eucerin. Let me guess—he’s allergic to the remedy. Sigh.

» I’m looking for some new online reading materials–blogs, zines, whatever. Creative yet accessible, inspiring but not schmaltzy, smart but not impenetrable. Recommendations welcome.
» The latest on SBJ: at one year, he weighs 30.5 pounds (99%), is 32 inches tall (97%) and is 100% cute.
» I have been remiss in posting SBJ’s latest stats: 23 pounds and 27 inches at six months. Yes, I’ve got the big mama biceps.

Yes, collages are still used in the 21st century - some magazines, some digital images, some newspaper. The only thing different is the addition of the digital imaging.
Darn. I was really hoping to find something to do with these magazines.
Poor baby. Itchiness sucks.
Randomly drop them in places with waiting rooms. The pictures cross all age ranges, the articles are timeless and they cost too much for most owners of waiting rooms to spend.
have i told you about having my allergies cured by an amazing acupuncturist in the ‘burg?
if sbj continues to have problems, i’d be happy to give you more information. (she also cured my friend of horrible eczema which felt like having poison ivy 300 days each year and she cured my son of his egg allergies too.) sounds too good to be true, but it’s not. don’t know how old kids have to be before she treats them.
I have struggled with eczema off and on my whole life. This pregnancy it has gotten very bad. However using head and shoulders shampoo as a body wash does help. Really, it was even recomended by a dr!
