Where to go, what to do

I have no blogged in ages. No good excuses why other than being busy with Babykins. And starting work. And having the death flu.

But really what's stopping me is too many ideas, and not knowing what to focus on.

I'm a new mama and I breastfeed and cloth diaper. But I'm also a nurse which leads to interesting stories. And being married to a Latino brings in the international aspect as well.

So where to go and what to do.... still thinking on this one

Shampoo-less failure

I like to think that I can do whatever I put my mind too. The whole 'poo free thing didn't work for me on many levels. My roots run oily, they always have. And I am still breastfeeding, which makes them feel dirty every day. Before Amanda I only washed my hair every few days! Long hair has never been hard for me to maintain but these hormones made my hair wacky! Wacky I tell you! where did the curl I love go?  I ended up going 'poo free for 11 days, with doing the baking soda "shampoo" and apple cider vinegar "conditioner" every few days.

The problem was the baking soda dried out my fingers too much (they hurt!), my hair didn't feel clean, and -I can admit it- I am just not that crunchy that I was willing to put the necessary work into it...yet. So I cut off 6 inches in a month (two cuts). And I switched to Aubrey Organics shampoo and conditioner, which I LOVE. That was all ages ago and I cut off another 2 inches recently. I am *tempted* to cut my hair short (a dirty word to me since junior high), but I have a bad ass flip on the right side that resists even straightening. Not that I have the time for that nowdays!
