This page gives you an overview of information about cloth diapering and points you towards a lot of other great resources so you can dive in and learn as much as you want. Let me know if there’s more information you’re looking for that I can include here! Reasons to Use Cloth Diapers Money: Disposables can run… Keep Reading
Paycheck
| February 1, 2012 | Posted by Issa under Blogging |
The thing I am most excited about lately is blogging. I’ve been writing online for… about 7 years now. I started out on LJ, wrote a thing or two for Associated Content, and kept starting blogs every time a new idea popped into my head. I have started so many blogs and owned so many domain names over those years! LoveLiveGrow has been around for a couple of years now, and I’ve finally learned that… Keep Reading
Occupy
| November 3, 2011 | Posted by Issa under Counter/Culture |
The revolution has begun, but I’m only watching from afar. I first heard about Occupy Wall Street (OWS) while I was at Alchemy, and I was immediately riveted. It is exactly what I want out of the beginnings of reform – messy, earnest, consensus-driven, wildly optimistic, and, of course, hitting many of my political buttons. I’m wary, though. Our culture is so forcefully stacked against any kind of meaningful change that I wonder if it’s really possible… Keep Reading
Sleep Safety Propaganda
| March 18, 2011 | Posted by Issa under Parenting |
When I signed up for a baby registry at Babies R Us, I got a little pamphlet called “Keeping Baby Safe”, and one of the sections was, “Safe Sleep for Babies.” I plan to share a bed with my child, so I wasn’t too pleased to see these instructions: Keep Reading
Burning Man – Radical Self-Reliance
| December 23, 2010 | Posted by Issa under Counter/Culture |
From the Burning Man website: Radical Self-reliance: “Burning Man encourages the individual to discover, exercise and rely on his or her inner resources.” People say that Burning Man will change your life. They say that you’ll go out to the desert and you’ll come back a different person. This is true for many people. After becoming a citizen of Black Rock City one button-up business-suit guy I knew became a wild and freaky traveler instead,… Keep Reading
Baby Bellyaching – December 2010
| December 9, 2010 | Posted by Issa under Parenting |
I’ve started receiving baby magazines in the mail. This means that about once a month, I get to sit and laugh and bitch and boggle at the ridiculousness that is modern commercial baby care. Since I know you’re dying to read my whining about baby magazines, welcome to Baby Bellyaching, a (hopefully) monthly bitch-fest about the crap in these magazines. Keep Reading
Issa’s Reviews: Raising Baby Green Part Two
| November 25, 2010 | Posted by Issa under Parenting, Simple-Eco-Happy |
The book Raising Baby Green: The Earth-Friendly Guide to Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Baby Care gave me so much material to rant about, I broke it up into two parts. If you’re ready for another dose, here’s part two. Keep Reading
Issa’s Reviews: Raising Baby Green Part One
| November 22, 2010 | Posted by Issa under Parenting, Simple-Eco-Happy |
Lately, I’ve been perusing the pregnancy section of the library. I came across Raising Baby Green: The Earth-Friendly Guide to Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Baby Care. I’m not really looking for any guidance on “green” topics, but it is a topic I care about, and I figured I could at least review it for LoveLiveGrow. Plus, in the meantime, I might learn a thing or two.
Instead of any education or pleasure, though, all I got out of this book were frustration, anger, and incredulous sputters. Keep Reading
(Rewind) You Can Smoke Pot and Not Go To College
| November 19, 2010 | Posted by Issa under Counter/Culture |
I’d like to reject the idea that there’s an all-important standard of success that’s anything other than “you’re happy”. Keep Reading
Notice: Recession Billboards
| November 9, 2010 | Posted by Issa under Counter/Culture |
There’s a billboard near by home that says, “Recession 101: Interesting fact about recessions…they end.”
What is this billboard trying to tell me? Why is this message worth someone spending a lot of money on? Keep Reading
