Getting a 4 month old rescue German Shepard pup
Any suggestions about our first week with the new pup? He's a 4 month old from a shelter. I know to take him out a ton, long walks, feed last, not allowed on furniture, sleep in crate. A tired dog is a happy dog. We do have a trainer lined up for the second week he's with us. We are giving a week or two to bond with the…

C-Section and Exercise
Hello all, If you had a c-section, I wonder if you feel tugs or cramping or tightness where the incision was - on the inside, not on the outside. I had two c-sections. The most recent was 3 years ago. I healed fine according to the doctors and nothing is really wrong. But when I exercise or turn the wrong way (like if I…

What happened?
You have small kids. You are there. Watching them. For a split second you got caught up in something else. A phone call. A bathroom break. Emptying the dishwasher. Making dinner. BLINKING. What's the funniest thing your kids have ever done? I'll start. My daughter painted my son red with shaving cream paint. My son removed…

Potty Training - ARGH!
Hello all, My son just turned 3. He's been going potty on and off since December. He's tried peeing like mommy, peeing like daddy, sitting on all fours and peeing straight down(which is pretty funny). He often gets his pants off and goes by himself. He sometimes even poops by himself. He doesn't even mind going in public…

Cutting Board
I got new bamboo cutting boards from Santa. They say I'm supposed to oil them with special bamboo oil before using and for like a month. Is this true? Do I really or can I just open them and use them? Does anyone know if I can use regular wood oil? Or where to even get bamboo cutting board oiling oil?

How young is too young to be left alone?
I just found a blog called Free Range Kids, which recommends and enourages a movement of “sane parenting.” Free Range’s mission statement gives a nod to protection--“We believe in helmets, car seats and safety belts”--but “We do NOT believe that every time school age children go outside, they need a security detail.”…

Glad I stirred it!
So I opened my husband's Chobani mango yogurt. It doesn't look tasty. But it was the snack I brought to work and it is healthy so I supposed I'll just eat it. I let it sit for like 10 minute because it looks nasty (just b/c I don't generally like yogurt). Well, I stirred it to waste time before eating and lo and behold -…

What wacko thing does YOUR kid do?
I'm sitting here working and just realized that my 2-yr old boy suddenly stopping jumping on me and got very quiet. What's he doing you ask? Why he's putting all his puzzle pieces into my socks that I am wearing. I think now I have a whole puzzle worth of pieces in my socks. This weekend I changed his diaper and a bunch of…

Laugh for the day
Thought you might appreciate the humor... My husband tells me yesterday that he ate really well all day - except for a donut that he ate unexepectedly. I laughed so hard. I'm like, "What, did it jump in your mouth when you weren't looking?"
