Teasing Me Softly Jan 11 04:32am I get the feeling that sometimes people don’t think it is so easy to be my friend. No matter how many times I swear up and down to everyone around me that I think 10 percent organic is better than zero percent organic and I support anyone in any... Read more

Amazing Fats Jan 06 12:01pm I had a small pang of regret Tuesday morning when I read a story in the New York Times about an Australian study that found fish oil supplements can improve the hand-eye coordination of your child if taken when pregnant. Regret because my husband is... Read more

A Sex Post! Dec 19 11:02pm There truly is an organic version of everything . That's what I thought a few years ago when I stumbled across organic lubricant while surfing my favorite organic beauty site:  saffronrouge.com . Back then the brand was called Sensua Organics.... Read more

Organic Living When at Your Non-Organic Relatives Nov 16 11:33am We're headed to Aili's paternal grandparents house for Thanksgiving. I used to be the sort of person who just got in the car pretty quickly and headed off. Not so now that I have a baby. (Fine. I always overpacked.) I'm not leaving town... Read more

The Great Sex Debate Nov 08 05:18am Of all of my friends, I was the only one who knew the sex of my baby (girl) before she was born. It seems no one is finding out any more. I've talked about it at length with these friends, and the feeling is it's more "organic" to... Read more

A Day at the Farm Nov 03 05:38pm The foliage is starting to fade in the northeast and I hadn't seen any of it yet so we headed out of New York City this past weekend to try to leaf peep. Our destination? Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture ( stonebarns.org ). I was... Read more
