We moved our family of three to Cary from the Finger Lakes Region of NY in May 2012. We are gentle, attached, semi-crunchy parents to our amazing and active two year old daughter. After attending a few other mommy and me group meetups, I realized they were not a great fit.  We parent by instinct, practice co-sleeping, full term breastfeed, baby wear, avoid toxic products and plastic and eat a mostly whole, organic (when possible) unprocessed diet which are not mainstream and apparently these thi …

Over Thanksgiving, I went to a coffee house chess club that my dad runs in Ohio. It was an amazing experience--people of all ages and skill levels observing, talking about, giving impromptu lessons in and playing chess. The social energy at a club like this creates an environment where we can improve our chess skills in a way that is often more difficult (and less fun) in an online-only practice. This is a very welcoming group, and anyone who likes to play chess is invited. Ideally, this group …
