Goodbye, Durham
We’re moving. It’s something that I have anticipated for such a long time that now that it’s finally happening, it’s completely surreal. My husband has been a graduate student in Chapel Hill for the past several years and we’ve always hoped that we could stay in this area, but known that...
Ten on Ten June
Here’s my installment for Ten on Ten June (Read more about the project by Rebekah Gough on her blog.) Summer is really and truly here, but the only real difference it’s making for me is that it’s hot and crowded! My kids don’t go to school, so I don’t really have...
Gender Reveal Baby Shower
A few weekends ago, I had the opportunity to co-host a gender reveal baby shower for one of my good friends. The new mom recently moved away, but still visits Durham regularly so we decided to celebrate her pregnancy while she was in town and wanted to make it an...
Menstrual Cups
Today we have a guest post by Samantha of Sweet Potatoes and Social Change. Her blog is all about homesteading in a small space, real food eating, and saving money. She’s a relatively new blogger, but she’s already got a ton of great stuff. Go check it out. It’s okay....
Introducing 10 on 10
I first discovered Rebekah Gough’s blog, A Bit of Sunshine, three years ago when my son was still a small baby. It was one of the first blogs that I began following. I was blown away by her amazing photography and neat crafting ideas. She has a monthly feature called...
Gentle Weaning
I’ve been meaning to write a post about the gentle weaning experience we had since my son stopped nursing over a year ago. For some reason I just kept putting it off. Breastfeeding was extremely important to me when I was pregnant. I borrowed a copy of The Womanly Art...
Slings for Summer
Maybe you’re curious about babywearing or maybe you already own more carriers than you care to admit– either way you will love these Dolcino Coversion Slings for summer. Today I’m happy to introduce a fun new feature called “Mom’s Pick,” where we will spotlight different products that Moms love. Through...
Childbirth Advice
Today I’m happy to share a guest post by Taryn Leary on Childbirth Advice. She teaches childbirth classes here at Sweetbottoms and has some fantastic tips for women (and their partners) preparing for labor. Knowing I have less than two months to go until my little bundle arrives prompted me...
The Baby Blues
By Elizabeth Pantley, Author of the No-Cry Solution book series I remember when I was lying in my hospital bed after the birth of my fourth child, Coleton. I had endured a full day of labor and a difficult delivery (who says the fourth one comes easily?), and I was tired...
Tea Smoothies
I love herbal teas, but once the weather turns warmer I start craving beverages of a cooler variety. This year, I’ve been especially fond of smoothies. I decided to try out tea smoothies as a way to get the benefits of the herbs along with the nutrition from the fruits...
Spring Cleaning
Do you do spring cleaning? I’ve never really made a conscience effort to clean out and de-clutter my home just because it’s Spring, but I do think there is something to it. Maybe it’s because the days are longer and we feel like we have more time. Maybe the increased...
What are the Benefits of Babywearing?
Babywearing is the practice of wearing or carrying a baby or child in a sling or other form of carrier. While babywearing has been practiced for centuries around the world, it has experienced a recent resurgence. This is great news for both babies and parents! Babywearing helps integrate your baby...
