Bringing up Bébé
We're currently reading "Bringing Up Bébé". It's a humorous look, from an American mother's perspective, on French parenting. Brian and I found much of this to be true in England, where we lived for three years. There is much wisdom in many of the Europeans' approach to child-rearing, and some other notions which go against the grain of my AP parent's heart.Read along and let us know what you think.See More

I'll try to…"
Nissa Gadbois commented on Family Centered Living's group Creative Families"Oh yes, I'm planning to have cooking, sewing and other creative type classes on the farm. Can't wait!
In the States, we call it button thread, practically the same thing, usually mercerized cotton. I would get Güterman…"
Nissa Gadbois commented on Family Centered Living's group Creative Families"Yes, except I would use a buttonhole or blanket stitch. Alternately, mark the h***, place a piece of braid and couch into place, then cut the h***. I think it's a good idea to place a piece of fusible web in between the layers…"
Nissa Gadbois commented on Family Centered Living's group Creative Families"There are things I have learned to avoid over the years. Machine button holes for one. They never turn out as beautifully as hand-sewn ones. And I do a lot of hand-hemming on fancy dresses, baptismal gowns, etc.
Zippers are handy,…"
Nissa Gadbois commented on Family Centered Living's group Creative Families"Erinn,
I saw your post in my inbox, but I can't find it here on the forum. Collars are tricky. I can try to walk you through it if you still need help. So much easier in person, but maybe we can figure it out virtually, or over the…"

Trying to find a parking spot in Natick is no picnic on a good day. But Saturday is just about impossible. I had traveled to the mall - about 45 minutes from home - with a van full of children, on the hottest day of the year. To get a new power cord for my computer. And I was getting frustrated.
I called Brian on the phone to see if he knew of a different Apple store, preferably one that is closer to home. He said that he was sure that there was one about 20 minutes from…
