My name is Crystal and I’m a divorced mama to a happy little guy named Jack who was born in July 2006. We live in San Francisco, where I work at a software company (surprise!) and Jack attends the best daycare EVER.
This blog is filled with documentation of my parenting adventures. I try to post useful information for new parents out there, particularly those who are interested in attachment parenting (natural parenting, instinctual parenting – whatever you want to call it) and green(er) living, and give updates for far-flung family and friends. I also write as a means to adapt to and explore the whole parenting gig and welcome dialogue as part of the process; I encourage and appreciate audience participation!
You can also find me over at my second bloggy home Savvy Source San Francisco.
If you would like to contact me directly, email me at ewokgirl{at}gmail{dot}com. I am open to parent- or child-related product review/endorsement opportunities.
Hi, stumbled across this when searching the book/site babyproof your marriage. You might really enjoy a blog by a woman called veronica robinson. She is editor of The Mother magazine, published in the UK> sounds like it fits your philosophies. Also, I donated milk to premmie twins last year…this is pretty out there where I come from (no way would a NZ hospital have a bank!). Good on you for promoting it.
Hey there! Thanks for the wonderful site. I really appreciate having advice from a mom who also comes from the philosophy of attachment parenting, green living, etc. I found your site while looking for info on how to begin pumping. As a new mom, I really crave hearing realistic stories and practical advice. Thanks for all the great info!!
YOu know, I can’t believe you’re still breastfeeding; that is soooo cool! How do you do it? How long will you go?
Thank you. I have to start by thanking you for posting your guilt guilt guilt post. I am new to this blog world in the beginning stages of setting up my own blog, a place for me to get my thoughts out. I have to be honest that I have felt the same sense of guilt for more then 8 of your statements. Its nice to hear that I am not the only mom on the planet that has had these feelings. Like I said I am new to this blog world, My gosh what I have been missing, there are so many of us Moms just trying to figure it out. Anyway, thank you for your post.
