Because I have a blog

I'm going to use this "first blog post" space to save my notes and mini-ideas about things I want to write about later. No boring intro for you to read here! But possibly an idea of interest that you may want to come back to read about later.

Ideas:
Why some baby gear is not good for baby, even if the packaging says it is.
New cars - no such thing as "environmentally friendly", so how do you choose one?
Benefits of Attachment, Unconditional parenting styles
The diaper debate - cloth, disposable, compostable
Self Help - be a better parent by taking care of yourself and improving relationships within the family (PAX)
Education - why I believe in unschooling and waldorf, yet send my son to montessori
Nose Aspirator Review
Non-critical way to give fellow parents advice
Rant on how people treat their children, "Do you really think I need this right now? You're being nasty, stop it." imagine how that kid feels!
Books I like - how to talk so kids will listen, unconditional parenting, dr sears (all), baby moves (maybe this should be a page in itself that I can constantly add to)
Baby's first foods - 4mo? 6mo? Rice cereal? Raw Liver?
Threats and name calling - links to sites explaining what happens for kids when you do
Country life vs city life
Because I don't bathe my infant every day, and don't use soap on my toddler everyday (environmental impact, health impact)
Fire Retardants in everything
importance of organic beds and bedding, how big box stores make you think theirs is organic when it really isnt. wool puddle pads vs plastic sheets.
Because I don't bribe my kids
Because I keep my children warm - what counts as "one extra layer"?
Feeding babies safely - is it possible? store bought, even organic, can have trace amounts of baddies that can build up in their system over time. you just never know what happens in the factory, if the machines are cleaned, if the packaging facility is in good condition and working order, so many unknowns. cant trust it, even the reputable brands. homemade can have pesticides. produce is labeled organic, but what is the farm's definition of organic? how organic is it?
All natural cleaners - vinegar, baking soda - what about store bought "natural" cleaners?
Because i leave my kids alone (not in the house by themselves, I just let them be without interfering in their game or whatever)
Crime and punishment of mothers (stories on my mind - young mother shakes baby to death so she can play farmville, 10mo baby drowns while mom checks facebook, mother of 4 drives into a river with all her kids in the car, the oldest survives)
Defensive parents
Social support and understanding of mothers needs (goes along with crime and punishment)
