Baby Bags
I’m definitely making my own baby bag with my massive sewing skillz, but I just couldn’t resist this guy right here:
Vera Bradley Purple Punch Baby Bag
Delicious huh? As you can see, Ms. Bradley charges around $100 for this lovely bag, but this savvy mom got it on Ebay for $59. That’s right! New with tags …
My cousin has the same bag in a different print, and I got to check it out last weekend. Since a lady’s got to have at least two bags to choose from, I figured I’d go with it if I could find it for a few bucks less on Ebay. And I did. So I got it. Pretty fabulous, right?
I so highly recommend Ebay to those who are in a childbearing way. So far I’ve gotten: my Baby Bjorn carrier ($16 — $60-$80 in stores), my Maya Wrap ($32 — $60 in stores), my favorite Joe’s Jeans maternity jeans ($70 — $220 in stores), my Arm’s Reach Mini Co-Sleeper Bassinet ($89 — $159 in stores), the organic mattress for the co-sleeper ($100 — $200+ in stores), my Earth Shoes ($50 — $100+ in stores), and some Barely There breathable undies for the summer — don’t worry — they were new with tags and individually wrapped in plastic — for half their in store price. Alright, that’s like my fiftieth pitch for buying from Ebay.
Sorry about the delay in posting … I’ve been writing thank you notes and nesting mightily over the past week and have neglected my writing duties!

When I'm talking about our favorites, I mean Sam's and Mom and Dad's favorites.
1. Favorite skin remedy: CJ's BUTTer. This has been a staple of ours since Sam's birth. I got the recommendation for this as a diaper cream, since we started out with cloth diapers. Yes, this is sold as a diaper rash cream.... - One Year
Dear Sam, Today you are one year old. That means that exactly one year ago, I was holding you for the first time, watching you sleep for the first time, nursing you for the first time, and kissing your sweet baby hair on the top of your sweet head for the very first time. Your daddy...

I may or may not have mentioned my mild internet addiction, which worsened when I had Sam glued to my boob for the first four months or so of his life. During that time, I was at home most all of the time. Also, it was winter. Also, the whatnot with the PPD. The internet,... - 2010 in Pictures

- More Plath/Thanks to Sarah
A friend of mine sent me this poem of Plath's in response to my post of "Morning Song." I think this is by far the most accurate description of active labor that I've ever seen: I talk to myself, myself only, set apart-- Swabbed and lurid with disinfectants, sacrificial. Waiting lies heavy on my lids. It lies like...

The day has finally come where Sam is entertained by his Jumperoo! It's a good day, and I predict more blog posts. As for Sam, he is touching things curiously, staring at his hand, drooling enormously, and chewing on his fingers most enthusiastically. As for me, I wanted to give you guys a postpartum update about...

You need gear to breastfeed.

I have strong views and opinions. I guess you probably know that about me by now if you've been reading this blog at all. One of my strongest views is that a parent should not be criticized for his or her decisions unless those decisions involve child abuse. That said, a recent comment on my...

I wrote about this subject before (see the posts here and here), but I haven't addressed it after Sam's birth. I think it's important to address since many natural birth lovin' ladies are of the impression that one cannot have a successful birth at a hospital -- or that a hospital will push you to...
Welcome to the Savvy Mom Space
I’m a liberal feminist that believes that liberal, feminist ideals should gel with embracing your gender and motherhood (if that’s what you feel like doing). I support all kinds of moms and dads and parents. Oh and, although I totally love that natural vibe and not harming the environment, I supplement my organic milk and fresh fruits and veggies with the occasional Twix, the frequent Oreo, and the daily Coke Zero. I’m opinionated, not easily offended, and a loudmouth in person and on the internet. I am what I am. Welcome.
