My boy came home with lice 3 times!!! I was at wit's end and then .. a friend from Holland sent me a gift: the Bug Bag. It's used in over 50% of the schools. I can't believe how simple it is: Just hang your kid's coat in the bag every day. I bought some more for my friends on bugbagusa.com

If only I had known sooner.

It never ends, does it?

babybeatnik — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 21:28:13 -0500

Within the past few years, I've been spending a lot of time with my sister-in-law, Nikki, and her kids, Taylor (13) and Victoria (11). Last May, Taylor picked up head-lice at school and managed to pass it on to my daughter, who was 3 at the time. We treated her for lice as meticulously as anyone else would, save for cutting her hair, but because Nikki wasn't treating Taylor for lice as well as she should have, Gracie kept getting it.

It took us nearly a year to get rid of it. My husband, lucky that he is a man, shaved his head. Problem solved for him. But for Gracie and I, we had to shampoo our hair with that vile shampoo once a week (if not more frequently!) and comb through our hair twice daily... For a year. We also tried 3 or 4 different variations of prescription medicine - including that used for scabies. (Yes, it was THAT BAD.) Oh, did I mention that I was pregnant during most of this time?

So, we finally got rid of the headlice and I jumped for joy. Life went on as it should, I progressed in my pregnancy, and finally, on March 26th gave birth to my second daughter. She had pretty severe jaundice and we were stuck in the hospital for 2 weeks because of it. The hospital's policy states, however, that if a child is not a patient, they are not allowed for overnight stays. So, guess where Gracie went? And guess what she came home with?

Yes, that's right. My child, yet again, has headlice. As do I. And I have a newborn baby to look after. And no car to get to Wal-Mart to buy some shampoo, nor can I find a ride. So, I am stuck here in front of my computer, completely helpless while bugs ravage my daughter's and my scalp. And I just get to wait until I find them on my newborn. FANTASTIC.

I. HATE. MY. SISTER-IN-LAW.

In the time it took us to initially get rid of our lice, she had also gotten rid of Taylor's. However, they've recently moved into an apartment complex and the neighbors across the hall just let lice ravage their daughters' heads. Nikki is friends with these people, but she knows that because of the issues we've had with lice in the past that I ADAMANTLY refuse to let my daughter play with those little girls. I'm just finding out that Gracie spent the majority of the two weeks she stayed with Nikki not only playing with those little girls, but she actually let Gracie STAY THE NIGHT WITH THEM.

I'm sorry - I realize that this is an old post and that I'm ranting - but I am just SO upset right now. I feel absolutely helpless and completely enraged down to my very core. I am not looking forward to the HUNDREDS of dollars it is going to cost us to get rid of this - much less the time and suffering involved in it.

I am vowing here and now to NEVER have any kind of contact with my sister-in-law again. If only this was the worst of it.

BlogHer Backtalk Green

Beth Terry — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 20:27:58 -0600

I love the idea of a BlogHer Backtalk Green channel and would participate in a heartbeat. Green encompasses all women, whether pre-child, post-child, childless or child-free, and of course, all the moms who wonder each day whether the toys their kids are chewing on are safe and how they can help ensure a liveable world in their kids' future.

I think Green will be the new Mom this year. At least, that's what I hope, as a green blogher without children (or even a uterus at this point) but with the strong desire to connect through words and video and maybe even organic crockpot brownies.

Obama's signed a green stimulus package. Let's encourage green businesses to spend some of their advertising dollars on Blogher's Green Channel!

Greetings,

I've just been introduced into the world of blogging. I've started my own blog that will eventually have some great ideas on how to survive in times like these. I already have some great helpful hints and tips posted, but I plan on posting some great money savers as well. I am encouraging comments , feedback and ideas from others. Check me out if you can!

I know some pro-choice, pro-gay marriage, anti-war conservatives (in the economic sense). I'll remove the label now...

Best,

Enjoyed your newsletter, esp. the part where I was called Conservative :)) I'm a pro-choice, pro-gay marriage, anti-war Liberal.

But I applaud the debate you're engendering on the site--it's refreshing.

While I'll be (yet again) in twitter nirvana unless there is wifi - yes, no sim card with data on it for your visitors from Europe - there is an easy way for the rest of you to follow all public tweets about blogher:

http://summize.com/search?q=blogher

This site is not only easy to follow but I would even suggest you set up an RSS reader on your mobile phone for slim and cheap following (=not much traffic due to RSS neither on your phone bill nor does it require a lot of traffic through a possible slow wifi)

You can find me on twitter here:

There will indeed be advance copies!!

Quick question, Lisa, about the signing. Will there be advance copies available at BlogHer? Or is it more of a meet & greet the authors who will be at the con?
