Site Redesign

July 9, 2012 By Erika Zane

9 Jul

With all the changes I’ve gone through since the birth of Little Hiccup and my recent decisions about my personal use of social media, I’ve decided to both redesign and reorganize/refocus my blog.  I started this redesign over a month ago, but was only able to put in the time to implement it yesterday.  I’m also still working out a few coding things, so thanks for bearing with me.

Though it looks completely different, you may have noticed the reorganization hasn’t happened yet.  I hope to tackle that soon, but first I’d like some input from you: What would you like to see me talk about on here?

Here are subjects people have contacted me about directly:

  • How often a woman should pump if she doesn’t want to lose her supply
  • Extended breastfeeding
  • What foods to start your baby on and when
  • How to get a baby to eat pureed vegetables
  • How to get a toddler to eat vegetables
  • How to get started with cloth diapering
  • Babywearing options

Some of these I’ve covered a little already, but I’m excited to write more in depth posts for each.  I would also love some more ideas.  Even if it’s something you don’t think I have experience with, I love to research new topics.  If there’s anything (preferably natural parenting wise) that you’ve been trying to find more information on lately, please ask me!

I’m also thinking about providing local resources (Central NJ) for natural childbirth and breastfeeding to go along with my birth doula journey, what do you think?  Would that help you at all?

I’m little nervous that I won’t get any feedback, but if I never ask, I’ll never know.  As always, thanks for reading!

    Love the site redesign, Erika! 🙂 I actually went to Facebook message you the other day to ask how I can swap the picture on my blog header, and then realized, ‘Oh right! She’s not on FB anymore!”

    I second Ashley… Essential oils is a good one – there are so many great things you can do with oils. We love them!

    And you and I still need to talk probiotics and kefirs one of these days soon. 🙂 I still have some milk kefir grains I can give you, but there’s something wonky about my water kefir grains that I haven’t been able to figure out. 🙂 But the general topic of probiotics is an important one people might want to learn about. 🙂

    And the never ending list of ideas… 🙂

    Site looks great! SO nice seeing you last weekend!

    As far as what to write, I’d say whatever you are thinking about, pondering, are passionate about. All the topics you listed are great, as are the other suggestions! I want to hear what’s on your mind! 🙂

    Sorry for not having great, specific suggestions! Take care!

About me

Hello and welcome.  It’s been a while.  For Lent this year I decided to fast from the thing that took too much of my attention from what is truly important: Social Media.  Though there are countless amazing benefits to Social Media, after about a month offline so far, there are seemingly just as many negatives.  I never realized how much of my brain had been hijacked by it.  I’ve had so many revelations about how much easier it is to move forward when I’m not constantly reminded of the past.  But I still want to record my family as they grow at this ridiculous speed and, I’m realizing, so many of our family’s memories are here.  Those along with so many of the struggles and stages we’ve worked through.  Maybe in the midst of COVID19 isolation and my kids around me so often, I’m brought back to a time when they were too young for school and with me so often.  Writing here during that time helped make up for the limited adult conversation in my days and the overwhelm provided by my… little treasures 😉 My husband, fur babies, three fiesty kids, and I hereby extend an invitation to visit this little sneak peak into our life. We’re super flawed and broken and there aren’t too many dull moments around here.  And I promise it’s not always as magical as some of my golden hour, sun-soaked images would suggest.  There’s usually too much coffee in my system and we welcome all the prayers.  Come on over if you want to process with me.
