Babies: A Documentary About Babies

Posted on04. Aug, 2010 by Kate.

How many kids does it take to create the ideal family? This is a trick question, right? I mean, nothing can tell me the “best” number of kids to have, least of all a study done on Norwegian men and women.

Posted on29. Jun, 2010 by Kate.

My first question when I heard about Steri Bottle was “why single use?” Then I got my head outta my you know what and thought – how brilliant! Just think – no more washing bottles! Oh, the freedom. Of course, I’m a little more of a pack rat than that, and I can’t see myself [...]

In my never ending quest to find the right elixir to increase my breastmilk supply, I’ve found what works best. Beer. Mmmm. Beer. And not just any beer (trust me, I’ve tried a few). Lagunitas India Pale Ale. That’s right. Lagunitas does the trick. Now, I’m not entirely sure why Lagunitas IPA does the trick, [...]
