On (not) using my body

by Dorea 07.27.2009

A recent article in the New Yorker combined with trying to get used to my post-partum body, has gotten me thinking. The article opens with research showing that Americans started gaining weight in the early 80s, after remaining relatively stable through the 60s and 70s, and that we’ve kept on gaining, and then launches into [...]

Update: Our (not so) Carfree Birth

by Angela 06.08.2009

Rowdy Kittens wrote recently in the Small Living Journal that one way for people to become more involved in their communities is to go carfree. We couldn’t agree more, and we’ve noticed this in particular around the birth of our baby boy. Because of complications, Dorea had to be induced at 38 weeks, and we [...]

Retail Therapy

by Angela 05.18.2009

I’ve learned something about myself in the past couple of weeks — I’m not immune to retail therapy. Since Dorea got diagnosed with a semi-rare pregnancy complication, we’ve been bleeding money.

Carfree+Pregnant+Toddler+Winter

by Dorea 12.24.2008

So far, I can’t really say pregnancy + being car-free + toddler + winter is my favorite combination ever. Here’s my bullet point highlights (actually, mostly whines) so far: If we owned a car right now, you’d better believe I would be driving it everywhere. As a result, if we owned a car right now, [...]

Earning our plural.

by Dorea 11.19.2008

Savvy readers may have been wondering about a few things. Why is the title of our blog plural when we only have one kid? Why hasn’t Dorea been riding her bike? Why did we make a sappy post about walking H home from the hospital when that was a long time ago? What’s up with [...]
