My Homeschool Philosophy: Part 1
Welcome to the first edition of the Authentic Parenting Blog Carnival, hosted by Authentic Parenting and Mudpiemama! In the month of January, we start afresh, a new year, new ideas. Hence, our participants have looked into the topic of “Birth and New Beginnings”. Take a look at the end of this post to find a list of links to the entries of the other participants. This year my daughter turns three. This milestone and a new year I have decided to be more intentional about homeschooling. Not to mean I’m really homeschooling at all and research shows that early academics are...
Read MoreMamatography: Week #4
I’m participating this year in the Mamatography Project hosted by Diary of a First Child. I always thought picture-a-day things were cool but not for me. I can’t remember to do anything once a day! Then I thought about just doing it with my iPhone – it takes decent pictures and it is ALWAYS with me! I actually post my pictures on Instagram so you can always see there (and join me!) or on Facebook or Twitter. Since last week I was protesting SOPA this week there are two weeks worth of pictures!

Read MoreSh*t Fat Phobic People Say
I don’t know if you’ve seen this meme lighting up YouTube. I’m not sure where it started but it consists of videos called “Shit x say to y” where x and y are opposite groups. E.g. Things White Chicks Say To Black Chicks. There were a few called Things Fat Girls say that were full of hungry, snack munching, lonely fat chicks. I thought it needed an answer! Here is my submission! Sh*t Fat Phobic People Say. I was originally going to have a conversation between a fat girl and a skinny girl but the program I used had not a single fat body to choose from!...
