There is a strong possibility that this blog post is going to seem obvious to almost everyone who reads it, but I’m thinking there’s a possibility that not everyone knows as much as they think they do about the topic. And today’s topic is…using the publicly available services offered by your municipality! I know, exciting, […]
apps and services
App/Recipes – NYT Cooking
I love to cook – have you noticed? It’s the kind of thing where it helps me to relax (mostly if it goes well and according to plan – let’s not discuss the recent monkey bread debacle I had). Having a set of instructions, paired with the right ingredients and knowing that what comes out […]
Tech – Using Bing
One of the things that they taught us in library school, and that I used to try to impart to my patrons when I did taught short courses on better searching at my old job was not to use a single system to do all your searching. By doing this, you’re setting yourself up for […]
Service – Naturebox
In the time since having a baby and taking on breastfeeding as a personal challenge, there have been a few complicating factors, but one of those that was both unexpected and not was my hunger. That’s right, since I’ve been breastfeeding, I’ve been hungrier than normal. This is not entirely unexpected as I noted earlier, […]
Service – Stitch Fix Kids
It’s a strange thing – despite not being super interested in shopping for myself, ever since baby B was born I have found myself being a teensy bit of a shopaholic. I don’t regret too much – baby girl clothes are SO CUTE. And she needs things like pajamas. Unfortunately, I’m not just buying pajamas, and so […]
Apps – Headspace
Back when Baby B was a tiny thing, there were a lot of late nights into early mornings. I say “back when” but that’s sort of become the norm again, because we are going through some kind of sleep regression. In any case, back when she was little, I was so frustrated at the lack […]
Baby Things I’ve Liked So Far
As a new parent, the thing that constantly amazes me is that there’s no requirements for it. As in, any adult who times sex to ovulation and wants to keep the ensuing pregnancy is allowed to do it. So even if there are times where in your head you still feel like an awkward 15 […]
Services – Foodstirs
I feel like I’ve reviewed a fair number of subscription services. From personal shoppers for clothing, to wine, to meal kits, to meal kits, to flowers…I mean, I know there are lots more things I could be looking at like beauty boxes and things for pets, but honestly, those aren’t as important to me for […]
Whoops
Hey guys – I’m amazed at myself. I set myself a goal of doing posts on Tuesdays and Fridays, and managed to fail on my second week of the new goal. So that’s terrible. Or, you know, a reality check in this second week of attempting to resume blogging with a baby. So – I […]
Service – Blue Apron (Family)
So after I posted about how the Boy and I have been using (and still enjoying!) Plated earlier this year, my friend E emailed me to say how interested she was in that post. She was particularly interested because she has been a user of Blue Apron, but was frustrated at the volume of food […]
