My name is Temair and I tote my 2 and 5 year old to all of the events and meetings. We started when my 2 year old was 3 months and we just carried her around...
Thanks for writing! The last event I went to was Pennsic this summer. We just never seem to get out anymore (well, my husband has gone to a couple with ...
If you're planning on having more children later, be sure to make the whipstitching temporary, so you can use them again. I'm glad to hear you're still ...
Concerning garb: My husband is Viking, so I have viking garb, too, though I usually do 13-14th century (haven't pinned it down yet). Other than Italian ren., ...
I stopped nursing my first one slowly. By the time she was about 12 months old she was just nursing at bedtime. Around 15 months old, I just started ...
Good idea with the buttons. I was trying to come up with alternate ways of attaching a viking apron. I thought about tying the straps...there had to be SOME...
In order to strenthen my buttons, I plan on putting a large buttonhole (slit) in the top of the dress horizontally, passing the whole strap through this slot...
Oh man! I'm crushed. My boobs are still too big, and you're right, this is probably it. Darnit.<br><br>Good idea with the straps. I'm gonna go with that idea ...
I just went to my doctor for my 5 month checkup and complained about heartburn. She said she knew of something that worked better than Tums and told me to go...
Wow! I think you got really lucky. My doctor never suggested anything like that, and no one I know has had their doc suggest a natural remedy either! (at least...
Looking at the bottle again last night, it is sold as a dietary supplement, rather than as an antacid, but it does work. My doctors said that the homeopathic...
To all, Merry Christmas! I'm sure I speak for most when I say that I've been VERY busy lately. Once the Christmas rush is over, we will probably hit some ...
My name is Chrisitan and I am the mother of a near-5yo beautiful daughter. I am new to the SCA and am considering bringing her into it as well, as she shares...
Fit in? Of course she will. I have found that the SCA is one of the most family friendly places around. My girls attended their first event 2 years ago when ...
Hello, Christian, and welcome to the club! Sorry I'm late in coming, but computer died again. <br><br>When I first attended SCA events, it seemed to be more of...
I have not been able to find anything in all my research about any kind of underwear. So I'm wondering, how did women deal with their monthly? Or more ...
Yes, they basically wore diapers, or pinned nice absorbent cloths into their underwear. If you do end up doing that I'd suggest buying yourself the modern ...
Don't worry. She'll start sleeping throught the night in a few months (or years). This is my third, and I think my almost-3-year-old is getting nervous. For...
Hi all! I've been out of town, and look at all the posts! A couple replies:<br><br>1. On period periods...yep, just wad up some cotton rags in your underwear; ...
>I was really hoping that I would return to my 'normal' size when I quit nursing!!!<<br><br>Some women do. Many don't. Every woman is different, and...
I know this may sound very ignorant, but I have some questions.<br>1) How feasible is it to use cloth diapers if you don't have a washing machine?<br>2) How do...
hi everyone.....i'm almost 5 months along, barely showing at all, but i need some help....even though we (my husband and i) probably won't be going to any ...
Actually, this may not be true -- for some women, they do go back to the prior size but it takes a considerable while longer. I nursed my son for about 7...
1) How feasible is it to use cloth diapers if you don't have a washing machine?<br><br>Well, it's feasible, since obviously people _did_ it, but it's ...
(continuing)<br><br>5) How do you choose a diaper? The ones I've seen are little more than handkerchiefs (or less).<br><br>The birdseye cotton ones that are...
I've been using cloth diapers off and on lately. Before I had her, I thought for sure I would use cloth diapers on my daughter. I got some for shower ...
