Thoughts on Parenting

January 21, 2011

My New Years Res­o­lu­tion this year was to get back to blog­ging, on all my blogs.  So far, this hasn’t worked out great, Leo is crawl­ing and dur­ing the hour nap that he takes in the morn­ing while Oliver is in preschool, I often try to do things like shower, do laun­dry, wash dishes, or […]

My thoughts on being a stay at home mom

August 17, 2009

It seems we all here at Mamas World­wide needed the sum­mer off!  If you are inter­ested in writ­ing a guest post or pos­si­bly becom­ing a con­trib­u­tor, we wel­come your inter­est, get more details on our con­tact page. It’s been a good sum­mer for us.  My son Oliver turned two and we’re still breast­feed­ing, two topics […]

Cultural Differences in Parenting

April 6, 2009

As the mixed race child of an Asian woman who mar­ried a cau­casian Amer­i­can man and immi­grated to the United States, who then her­self mar­ried a Ger­man and moved to Ger­many (still with me?), I’ve been aware of cul­tural dif­fer­ences in par­ent­ing styles most of my life. I never really stopped to exam­ine what role […]

Book Review: The Parking Lot Rules

December 30, 2008

I’m not really sure what led me to buy Park­ing Lot Rules & 75 Other Ideas for Rais­ing Amaz­ing Chil­dren.  I guess it was the glow­ing Edi­to­r­ial Reviews on Amazon.com, as I bought it a cou­ple months ago and as of today, there are only five cus­tomer reviews (4 of which gave 5 stars). When it […]

International Babywearing Week

November 16, 2008

This week is Inter­na­tional Baby­wear­ing Week, so we here at Mama’s World­wide thought we’d bring you a cou­ple posts on baby­wear­ing. As a prac­ticer of Attach­ment Par­ent­ing, I’m pro-babywearing, as it has a lot of ben­e­fits for mother and child (Maria’s going to write about some of these tomor­row), unfor­tu­nately, I’ve also got a very […]

More on attachment parenting

October 24, 2008

I’ve made my guest blog­ging debut over on the Attach­ment Par­ent­ing Inter­na­tional blog, API Speaks, writ­ing about What Pres­ence Means to Me.  A pre­view: I can’t count the num­ber of times that some­one has told me that I need to get out of the house with­out my son.  I’ve been told to get a regular […]

Book Review: Good Nights

October 16, 2008

While I’m not work­ing towards becom­ing a group leader for an Attach­ment Par­ent­ing Inter­na­tional Sup­port Group (at least not until I have a lot more par­ent­ing expe­ri­ence), I did find their required read­ing list inter­est­ing and imme­di­ately picked a book that I want to read from each of the cat­e­gories.  I ordered a cou­ple of […]
