My little one is 7 weeks old and I haven't once nursed her in her nursery (I am co sleeping, so I guess that goes without saying).
During the day we nurse on our Poang chair, or on the couch or on my computer chair (like right now) definitely have a table with everything you need on it (food, burp cloth, vitamin D drops) I like nursing at my desk because the table is high enough to eat, and with a nursing pillow i often have both hands free! I recommend getting a cordless mouse so you can use it with your non-dominant hand.
BTW the research that shows TV is harmful before the age of 2 is relating just putting your child infront of the TV and expecting them to stare at it for hours on end. It is not about YOU watching TV while your baby nurses. So don't feel guilty watching shows, nursing is boring after a while, especially in the early morning

I have the same problem as you, except my bathroom has a fan! I leave the door open and unfortunately get mildew in my hall. Opening a window really does work, but it does not work when it is below freezing out. I've thought of getting a dehumidifier

ChrisGal, I totally respect your situation. My husband and I lived together common law for 7 years. Didn't hurt a bit!

I would love to feed my cats raw, local, but my budget does not allow for that at the time. So I have researched and am very satisfied with a local (for me) pet food company that is quite well known for their use of local and free ranged meat

I think its very important for cats especially to have a carnivore diet, they just are not built to process vegetation. My oldest cat had some major issues before I switched to a meat diet, he is now completely happy and healthy

My sister races her dogs and has them on a raw diet, they are the healthiest animals I've ever seen. She supplements their diet with beans and blueberries.

I guess I should state that I'm an omnivore, but even if I was a vegetarian, I would want my pets to eat what they were meant to eat.

Little update, I did not take part in the previous discussion, but was inspired by this shelf. My husband recently made one for us:

Yes, this experiment did not have much for controls, so I don't know how rigarous these researchers are

If you were put in a dirty room but had lemon oil sprayed on your face, would you not be 'virtuous' as well?

Awesome! I love it when contemporary art invokes such visceral emotions from people. I'd take this over 'pretty' art any day

ground up egg shell is especially good for acidic soil

Useful, and a conversation starter!

Sorry to be a downer but

These are too cheap for handmade products, and I suspect they are going against Etsy's policy and selling mass produced products (there page does not talk at all about who made them). They should be reported to Etsy, if anything.
