penguinmum's creamy fish pie: smoky, seasonal fish in a creamy white sauce with grated, rather than mashed, tatties on top - a meal of the highest comfort-food order.
It's actually a craft blog I read regularly, but the owner recently gave birth and the father has written an amazing account.
For those of you that are inclined to alternative teaching methods, you may also find the child's Montessori room interesting, or be totally fascinated/laugh your head off at her intended parenting philosophy, which includes 'diaper free infant hygiene'. Yes, they are American.
hackneybird what a gem cackles I hate those 'my perfect life' blogs. I can't believe I read the whole 'birthing story' but for those of you who have a life I particularly liked:
"She also discovered that vocalizing helped her deal with each birthing wave. She began to vocalize the word peace as well as an uh sound." piss off maybe ??
The poor child-imagine growing up and reading that about yourself??
Hmmm I found that birth story really cringey. Nice that he's proud of her and overwhelmed but a bit self absorbed. How much was baby actually mentioned?
Interesting to see the views expressed here. Even as a current non-parent (am expecting 1st in October), I have been reading her blog with amazement. I thought I was hopelessly naive ut she takes the biscuit.
Although it has to be said, she is a teacher to toddlers, so surely she knew what havoc they were capapble of wreaking when she designed that room?
Actually I have to defend him on the whole control thing, part of hypnobirthing is having the partner involved and them being an advocate for what you want and what you have discussed. The whole point of breathing out the baby instead of pushing is that you are suppose to be less likely to tear.
