Aww. What a sweetie. My oldest daugher loves math too (well what little she knows of it at almost 6).

I think its kinda neat that we are semi opposites. My oldest will be 6 March 19, My middle turns 3 March 5, and the baby just turned six months (she'll be 1 in August)

You have such courage and strength!

Hmmm. I'm torn on this one. The idea of it is fantastic and I guess once we got used to it, it could work. My husband has pretty bad OCD (diagnosed) though and the thought of this alone would make him go scrub down, in a shower with running water within arm's reach!

You are certainly not alone! Since the birth of my third son (a year ago yesterday) I have become much more relaxed. I did develop postpartum depression when I went back to work, which has finally made an exit from my life, and since then I'm about 75% with this second identity who I too hate. I'll take 75% over the 98% any day!

That's a great habit she's got here! My son is the same. Can't wait to go search around your blog, I just stopped nursing after a year and miss it so much. So I decided I'm going to live through you now, ha!

You are not alone.. I am guilty of the same.. I'm glad to know I"M not alone.
thanks for being brave and sharing this.

I think I could live anywhere- BUT I need a real bathroom :) That's my only requirement...We've been doing a lot of simplify lately, mostly to try and sell our house, but I love how we are living now. And since getting rid of most of the toys are kids are so much calmer! I've already decided when we move- mostly likely to a smaller duplex, we won't have a TV in the living room- just our bedroom- we don't have cable anyway, but I just want the temptation gone!

Funny you should ask that. we are doing just that....

2010-03-01T15:17:29.206-05:00

Funny you should ask that. we are doing just that. we have our house for sale and we are moving into a yurt that will be off grid. No morgage, no strings, no one telling us what we can and cant' do with ourselves.
we'll keep you posted!

While I am not sure he'd go for the tent Yurt, my DH would LOVE to live totally off the grid. I am less inclinded to live so isolatedly, but if I had internet access, maybe. Our annual summer vacation is to a cabin in ME without running water, electricity or indoor plumbing so I have some idea what they are doing. It makes for a great vacation - we all spend so much time just together. Re-entering civilization is so hard after two weeks without a phone, tv or computer!

2010-03-01T09:05:33.624-05:00

I would really love to live like that -- off the land too -- off the grid. I think it would be a fantastic way to raise children.
I don't think it will ever happen for us, and I'm not sure my partner would like it as much as I would, but I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Great post! I've had two hospital births and, while neither was exactly what I expected, they both turned out to be overall good experiences. I felt supported by those around me. Feeling empowered and like you're an active decision-maker can make a huge difference, even if things do not go exactly as planned!
