Are you a revolutionary?

If you love DDR as much as we do, want to show off that you’re getting you’re shaking your booty, check out this great design.  Not only are you boogie-ing like Mao, but you can proclaim your status as a fly communista.

Dance Dance Revolution has been a phenomenal game craze that dates back for over 12 years!  Yes, you know the ones… usually the machines are teaming with teens and tweens rhythmically stomping and twirling around like madmen.   As with many video game crazes, this series originated in Japan by Konami.    There have been slews of arcade and home clones of DDR, and while the crazy has died down somewhat in favour of music games like Rockband, it still remains popular.   If you haven’t tried it yet, give it a “whirl” and you’ll likely find youself stepping to the likes of BT, Paul Oakenfold, Duran Duran, Pet Shop Boys, Rihanna, Kool & the Gang, or Britney Spears.

If you’d like to see this on a sticker, or button, let us know, and we’ll make sure to custom assemble one for ya!

Resistance Is Futile

THE BORG BLOCKS T-SHIRT

Have you ever had the experience of your mouth being possessed by your mom or dad?  Despite any vows that you would never say that one thing to your own children, there they are, your parents, inside you, jumping out when you least expect it.

  According to respected author and parent-educator Judy Arnall, parenting is 70% modelling, 20% listening, and only 10% talking.  So when your young child eats with his hands, wipes her runny nose with a sleeve, hits his baby sister, or loses it in the shopping mall, take heart.  They will end up just like you, give or take a few experiences.

Elimination Communication

The latest pottying challenges inspired me to create “Diapers Are For the Birds” as, well, inspiration, which we all need from time to time through our parenting lives.  Although my son has been pottied pratically since day one, his signals have always been more difficult to read than his sister’s and his motivations more baffling.  I am still pleased than he comes and tells me when he has wet a diaper or when he has begun a poop.  At the same time, I can’t help but remember his sister was done with dipes before age two.  It’s all about giving opportunity and sharing communication. It’s all about giving opportunity and sharing communication.  It’s all about giving opportunity and sharing communication.

 Although most of the world practices E.C., here in North America it seems pretty radical.  How do we get along in a society where training babies into diapers and then training out of them is the norm?  Check out this informative article.   Or read all about elimination communication (a.k.a. infant potty training and natural infant hygiene) with Ingrid Bauer’s Diaper Free!
