I'm doing 31 things
we are thinking the local Montessori school so far. It looks fabulous and is a wonderful continuation of all the learning we’ve done at home. I don’t want him to go to a place where all they do is recess, naps, and arts and crafts. Although arts and crafts are lovely, but shouldn’t be the most educational portion of the day. The Montessori does a lot of the stuff I’ve been doing with my children between 0-3 years, but with much more resources. Putting my son in a classroom will give him the social cooperation he’s lacking and give me time to not only pursue my own goals-like finish school-but to also dedicate the same amount of time to my daughter that I dedicated to my son these last 3 years. I’ll check out other local preschools, but I’m getting the feeling that Montessori is going to be my best bet.

How I did it: It definitely wasn't easy, but it was easier than going to a regular school. My main priority is to have my babies, but I don't want to sacrifice my education on top of it. I wanted to be able to do both without taking away from my children's lives or impede on my main priority--baby making! At first, it was easy enough. My son continued to nap at least once a day for about 3-5 hours. That worked out very well. About a month ago, however,… Read how I did it…
How I did it: It was easier than i thought! i know that breastfeeding requires more calories than being pregnant, so any super dmodifications to my diet was out of the question. i am a pretty healthy eater aside from my compulsive obsession to consume like half a container of ice cream a day! hah! but actually, recently i switched over to dreyer's frozen yogurt which has the taste of an exquisite ice cream but is half the cholesterol! my concern … Read how I did it…
How I did it: well, we tried for the first time in March and thats all it took! i was pregnant in no time. i DID do a few things after sex to help the process, like MAKING SURE i orgasm, hanging out upside down for a while, and daily reiki. and aromatherapy to reduce stress. prayers. meditations. and voila! whether all that mumbo jumbo actually helped or not, i have no idea, but i got pregnant. then, while seeing my OBGYN, i started seeing a midwife as… Read how I did it…
