Pets When You Want Them
There are many, many, many pros and cons to bringing a pet to come live with you. Living in the city or a small apartment means another being in an already tight space. We would love to have a dog, but since my husband and I both grew up on farms, the idea of a dog who has to go on walks and has no sense of freedom is a tough sell. And I’m allergic to cats so that decision is easy. But every kid needs to grow up with a pet – right? When Peep was about 2, I … Continue reading

Peep was kind of a grab and go kid. I breastfed. She didn’t spit up or have huge diaper accidents. If I left with her, I could literally just leave with some diapers, wipes, my breasts and her. Which meant that I was pretty free to use any bag I wanted. The Skip Hop Pronto! changing station was the best thing I owned during this time. I cannot say enough great things about it – it has just enough room for about four diapers, some wipes and a couple of other small things like extra socks or gas medicine. It is probably the … Continue reading
