Kochenower Family Diaries- Sandy, Scott, Brennan & Caelan ;)
While I appreciate that I may be more of an Attachment Parent than some, I really need everyone to understand something. Please take note of this regardless of our relationship, friend, family, acquaintance, you name it; and take it in the spirit it is given, with love and respect for those relationships. “We cloth diaper [...]
My favorite diapers are running a fun promotion, so here’s my blog about how wonderful I think they are: With 10 years between Caelan and Brennan, I discovered patience to do certain things very different this time around. The biggest change to me is cloth diapering. I knew I wanted to try cloth diapering, but, for many [...]
Well, as time grows near for me to go back to work, a problem has presented itself. My body doesn’t like the breast pump. I am clearly producing more than enough for Caelan to thrive on, but when it comes to expressing milk for him to take from a bottle, my body just doesn’t want [...]

Ok, so I’ve updated the registries to more accurately reflect what we still need. There are a few toys, books and fun items left on there too, but we’re mostly in need of the essential type stuff~diapering, feeding, safety and layette items that are listed. Still shy on clothing for sizes between 3-9 mos, but [...]
::sigh:: I really wish the Registries would put some sort of hint on the shipments we get to indicate who we should thank for stuff. So, if you sent the car seat. Thank you, we love it, and appreciate it very much. It would thrill me if you could shoot me an email or something [...]
