4Moms MamaRoo Bouncer

The revolutionary baby bouncer by 4Moms, the Mamaroo, is available for preorder on several websites. But the bouncer didn't make its 20 January release date. I've even seen information that the release date could be as late as mid-April. But it looks like the price will still be $199.99

A handknitted vintage cardigan

A while ago I knit this sweater from a vintage pattern I found in my mother’s fabulous stash of patterns. It’s made from Rowan’s (now discontinued,) “Lurex Shimmer.” The yarn has a soft, lovely hand feel, and the copper color is particularly pretty. Lately I am wearing it with old, worn jeans and am searching for the pattern as I want to knit it again, this time in a super fine, pale pink, merino wool.
My mom, by the way, is an incredible knitter. I have many sweaters, ski sweaters, vests, hats, and various pullovers, that she has made for me over the years. Each stitch is beautifully, evenly formed with great skill. One of my favorite things to do is to browse through her pile of knitting patterns and books, of which she has gathered a personal and richly diverse collection. I know each one by heart, and they all have associations and memories. It’s similar to searching through a button box, and not unlike the intimate pleasure, of being with one’s own memories when one looks through a family photo album. Now, back to searching for that misplaced cardigan pattern!

Pregnancy Pact

Lifetime Television is selling the movie "ThePregnancy Pact" as inspired by a true story. I just wonder if they will be portraying the part of the story where the whole "pregnancy pact" was shown to be false.


In case you don't remember the media coverage of the original story I will try to sum it up. During the 2007-2008 school year Gloucester High School in Massachusetts had a baby boom. The girls were turning up left and right to take pregnancy tests at the nurses office. Some of them were even disappointed by negative tests. Well, the principal, Joseph Sullivan, went to the press and said that the girls had made a pact to all get pregnant together. What he didn't say is that a lot of girls didn't have access to birth control, and that the end of the sex ed class they were encouraged to use the school daycare. What kind of message does that send to young girls. Many of the girls were also socially isolated and lacked a meaningful relationship with their families. The nearest women's clinic was more than 20 miles away. Which is a huge distance when you are 14 and without a car. The school nurse and medical director tried to get the school to prescribe birth control without parental consent, but they were driven from their jobs. The school couldn't even commit to teach the federally approved and funded abstinence only curriculum. A group of teenagers who don't have birth control and whose parents aren't passing on their values are exactly the group of teenagers you expect to have a baby boom.


I think that Lifetime has seen the success of the MTV shows "16 and Pregnant" and "Teen Moms" and is trying to jump on the ratings train by scaring the crap out of parents. We need to decide our position on birth control as parents and then lovingly drill that position into our children's heads. That's how teen pregnancy is prevented.


Here is a link to the original Time Magazine coverage that started the whole firestorm. And the movie will be shown on Lifetime, Saturday at 9pm and with encores at the same time on Sunday and Monday.

Virabhadrasana For Osteoporosis and Sciatica. The word Virabhadrasana is a conjunction of two words Virabhadra and Asana which literally means the posture of a warrior. Virbhadrasana, as the name suggests is very similar to the position that a warrior holds. It is basically particularly compelling asana, full of emblematic and vigorous physical power....

Sweet,heart shaped sunglasses

10 Corso Como is not unlike a candy shop for adults. They imagine, invent, produce and select the most wonderful things ... such as these red, heart shaped sunglasses. Visit their website to discover their music, prints, designs, scents and beauty products as well as their tiny hotel, cafe and more. As I browsed around, I found these flowers, a one-of-a-kind, handmade bouquet a playful keepsake of their logo (to be found also on their tissue wrapping paper, which is too cool to be tossed.) Such a tangle of wire stems and bold blossoms - aren't they beautiful! 10 Corso Como is a whole world, situated around a lovely enclosed garden, in the heart of Milan.

Farrah From MTVs Teen Moms Beaten By Mother

One of the young mothers from the MTV reality show "Teen Mom" was allegedly choked and then hit by her 54-year-old mom this weekend -- and mom is now facing domestic violence charges.

The Council Bluffs Police Department in Iowa tells TMZ Debra Danielson -- the mother of 18-year-old "Teen Mom" Farrah Abraham -- was arrested at around 1 PM on Saturday for suspicion of domestic abuse/serious assault.

According to cops, Farrah and Debra started arguing over childcare issues when Debra allegedly threw an MTV shirt at her daughter ... which landed "on or near" Farrah's baby, who started crying.

That's when Farrah claims she went off on her mother -- who then grabbed Farrah by the throat. Farrah told cops she pushed her mother's hand away from her throat, causing her mother to strike her on the right side of her head and mouth.

In the report, officers say they observed multiple cuts on the right side of Farrah's lips.

I would be angry if my mother threw something and it hit my baby. But this probably wouldn't have happened if Debra had put her foot down over the childcare issues a long time ago. She lets Farrah walk all over her. They just should have stopped babysitting while Farrah went out. She would have learned to stay at home. Farrah thinks she is entitled to everything her parents do for her. Yes, her mother has anger issues, remember when she slapped her upside her head in the car, but I'm surprised this didn't happen a long time ago. I wonder what Farrah will do without her parents' money.

John Edwards Finally Admits Paternity

John Edwards has finally stopped being shady and admitted her fathered Frances Quinn, the daughter of his former mistress Rielle Hunter. Instead of doing the correct thing and just admitting the truth when the whole sorted tale first came out, he lied. In a decade or so little Frances is going to have to read all his denials and it will probably just lead to problems. Isn't it bad enough that she will have to grow up with the knowledge that she was the child of an affair.

Edwards said of the whole sorted situation, "To all those I have disappointed and hurt, these words will never be enough, but I am truly sorry," Edwards said in his statement on Thursday.
"I will do everything in my power to provide her with the love and support she deserves," he said of his daughter. "I have been able to spend time with her during the past year and trust that future efforts to show her the love and affection she deserves can be done privately and in peace."


Of course his coming clean may have something to do with the fact that he may be facing a federal grand jury investigation into whether or not he gave Rielle Hunter hush money out of campaign funds. The information about the baby's paternity would have probably been leaked during that process.

And it doesn't help that with every passing day Frances looks more like John.
