As I get more "mature" in my parenting, I find it easier to ignore the random advice of the day, and to trust myself more. I'd definitely buy less stuff. We bought an entire nursery suite for Matthew and I think I used the changing table exactly one time. LOL! <br /><br />I can't wait to see the project - I love seeing people's handiwork. My sister in law quilts and made us stockings this year - I love them.dleflerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699612034298659706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7307114766025313443.post-9851863442778520402012-04-25T08:21:57.781-07:002012-04-25T08:21:57.781-07:00Sonlight - who cares where you buy your books? Th...Sonlight - who cares where you buy your books? That's your business, and if Sonlight doesn't like it then they can simply lose the sale of their cores to you. If they're truly interested in education then they'll understand it. (I use Tapestry of Grace, but get 99% of my books used online!)<br /><br />Babies and arrogance - no way. It's called hind-sight and it's always better. I'd NOT be a slave to the medical systems 'required' appointments for me or the baby. (What a racket of brain-washed bunk I believed!) I'd home birth. I'd buy the best sling I could afford and a car seat and that's about it. I'd clear the calendar for the first 3 months, and take a tip from the Orthodox who stay home with baby and go NOWHERE for the first 40 days.<br /><br />Feet - I use a rasp/foot paddle in the shower, slather my feet with thick cream prior to putting on flip flops which I wear all day, every single day. (I'm never bare-foot.)<br /><br />Once a week or so I'll do a sugar/olive oil scrub. Also, the girls and I have a thing for cute toes, so every few weeks we have a movie and toes afternoon for pedicures. I use good stuff so a pedicure will last me 3-4 weeks.<br /><br />Gads, I've taken over your blog here!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7307114766025313443.post-28959912011124782722012-04-25T06:53:48.188-07:002012-04-25T06:53:48.188-07:00Don't feel badly about not buying the books fr...Don't feel badly about not buying the books from Sonlight because if you feel badly about it, I'd have to, too!! :-) I'm curious to hear how Gunnar likes Core F. It was a big jump in work for Olivia, but she is LOVING it because it's all stuff that naturally fascinates her. <br /><br />I laughed about the baby in the drawer. That's where my baby brother spent his first few weeks of life as well!The Hibbard Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05066058156943532164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7307114766025313443.post-78859753800869155912012-04-24T21:50:23.999-07:002012-04-24T21:50:23.999-07:00I loves Sonlight and now truly believe I used it j...I loves Sonlight and now truly believe I used it just to read most of the books myself. I really miss homeschooling... most days that is... <br /><br />You did not sound arrogant about parenting... I think it's kinda wrong that Paul and I are just realizing we are pretty good parents... I wish we had that confidence all those years that I spent doubting myself!Rebecca Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06978830721619311449noreply@blogger.com
