I'm working on creating our registry right now and the registry posts have been super helpful. More nursery inspiration posts would be awesome, too. I don't think we've had as many lately, and I really miss them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sort-of-blog-posts-would-you-like-to-see/page/2#post-306115 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 11:38:45 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 306115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I'll ask today.

Would love to see a guest post from them! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sort-of-blog-posts-would-you-like-to-see/page/2#post-306092 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 11:10:08 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 306092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Our best friends are a SAHD/WOHD couple with a 2 year old (Lala's best friend). I'm sure I could cajole them into writing a post or two. What specifically would you like to hear from them? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sort-of-blog-posts-would-you-like-to-see/page/2#post-306026 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 08:32:08 +0000 anniegurumi 306026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love to see what people eat while they are pregnant. I know I'm having a hard time finding things to cook that isn't the same old stuff. And things my husband will eat! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sort-of-blog-posts-would-you-like-to-see/page/2#post-306025 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 08:25:17 +0000 sorrycharlie 306025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>definitely postpartum. some of my biggest anxiety during pregnancy has been about what's to come - dealing with visitors, tips and tricks to make postpartum recovery easier, ways to make sure dad feels involved and not alienated, etc.</p> <p>also - anyone else feel guilt because everyone tells you BF is the best, but what if you don't want to do it? struggling with feeling like I have to try "because" it's free, healthy, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sort-of-blog-posts-would-you-like-to-see/page/2#post-306014 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 07:55:48 +0000 SAHM0811 306014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think HB has touched on a lot of these topics already and the flashback idea is a great one! I often do a search and favorite a lot of old posts! </p> <p>I'd also like to see more about preschool age kids (4-5 year olds) and kindergarten readiness.</p> <p>The only other topic not yet suggested that I could think of would be Car Seat Safety. I believe it was Car Seat Safety Week this last week, so it's fresh on my mind... There's a whole world of car seat safety stuff out there... Maybe a guest post from a CPST?</p> <p>The suggestion regarding vehicles for expanding families would be good too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sort-of-blog-posts-would-you-like-to-see/page/2#post-305772 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 18:29:08 +0000 Arden 305772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There have been some fantastic ideas shared already! I would love to see lots of the things others have suggested, but these would be the ones that would interest me the most - </p> <p>- Birth stories of various types (planned c-sections, home births, emergency c-sections, unassisted births, birth center births, medicated hospital births, unmedicated hospital births, etc)<br /> - Parenting abroad (permanent expats, temporarily moves, visas, traveling, schooling, etc)<br /> - Schooling Options (public schools, private schools, Montessori, Waldorf, homeschooling, unschooling, home tutors)<br /> - Postpartum (freezer meals, pain management, breastfeeding, sleep, PPD, supplies, etc)<br /> - Special Needs (guest posts by parents with special needs children)<br /> - Untraditional Families (same sex parents, divorced parents practicing co-parenting, single parents, parents with physical disabilities)<br /> - Surrogacy (both from families using surrogates and perspectives from surrogates themselves)<br /> - Choosing care providers (obgyns, midwives, pediatricians, doulas, nannies, therapists, etc)<br /> - Dealing with extended family<br /> - Parenting Styles (attachment parenting, unconditional parenting, instinctive parenting, authoritative parenting, permissive parenting, aware parenting, converted cultivation, etc)<br /> - Pregnancy nutrition<br /> - Prenatal testing - What to Expect and Research (genetic testing, group B strep, gestational diabetes, etc)<br /> - Newborn testing and procedures - What to Expect and Research (eye prophylaxis, vitamin k shot, circumcision, vaccinations, etc)<br /> - Cultural perspectives on pregnancy, birth, and parenting </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sort-of-blog-posts-would-you-like-to-see/page/2#post-305755 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 17:49:24 +0000 Crisark 305755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Birth Stories!!!!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sort-of-blog-posts-would-you-like-to-see/page/2#post-305741 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 17:10:52 +0000 Mrs. Stroller 305741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is so great! I just made a list of about 20 things to share :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sort-of-blog-posts-would-you-like-to-see/page/2#post-305600 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 15:34:05 +0000 regberadaisy 305600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would like to know what moms do about after bedtime events. Do they flat out refuse them or accept and hope for the best? What about if it's not with other people? ie during the summer we have so many outdoor festivals in the park etc that I would love to go to. But sometimes they are after work hours so after bedtime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sort-of-blog-posts-would-you-like-to-see/page/2#post-305597 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 15:32:15 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 305597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>thanks for the ideas! Keep em coming! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sort-of-blog-posts-would-you-like-to-see/page/2#post-305562 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 15:11:58 +0000 regberadaisy 305562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: reminded me. </p> <p>I would LOVE to see a feature about living abroad temporarily with kids. The logistics behind visas, finding a job, apartment, rent, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sort-of-blog-posts-would-you-like-to-see/page/2#post-305559 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 15:09:34 +0000 Mrs. Bee 305559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boots McGee: i have yet to figure that out. i've been doing a lot of reading on it, and a lot of the things we consider healthy that we feed our kids can turn them into picky eaters. i'm looking into doing a complete overhaul of charlie's diet right now! mealtime is one of the most stressful times of day for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sort-of-blog-posts-would-you-like-to-see/page/2#post-305545 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 14:59:50 +0000 Mrs. Bee 305545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@keiki_mama: we definitely have a feature like that planned, where we compile all the posts that have been written on sleep training, baby led weaning, cloth diapering, etc. We're just about a year old! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sort-of-blog-posts-would-you-like-to-see/page/2#post-305540 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 14:57:26 +0000 Rock n Roll 305540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would like to see posts about being done with having babies. How did people decide when they were done having kids, why they made that decision. And I would LOVE a blog on the experience of getting tubes tied and especially getting a vasectomy (since I'm trying to talk my husband into one when we're done with kids!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sort-of-blog-posts-would-you-like-to-see/page/2#post-305523 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 14:48:13 +0000 Honeybee 305523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd love to see more posts about kid's relationships with each other, since we're a multiple child household. </p> <p>I'd also like to see posts on how multiple child households manage everything. I feel constantly behind, and I'd love ideas on how to handle it all!</p> <p>Since we'd like to relocate soon, info from any families who've done it with kids. And more about traveling with kids, in general.</p> <p>ETA: I thought of more! I'd like to see posts on Elimination Communication (do any of the regular bees do this? it might have to be a guest blog), discipline/developmental issues, toddler/preschooler products, and I want Mrs. Jacks to post about Lala's pregnancy/birth! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sort-of-blog-posts-would-you-like-to-see/page/2#post-305425 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 14:00:00 +0000 keiki_mama 305425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There have been some fantastic posts written on a variety of topics. Even though Hellobee is a relatively young site there are so many posts. Maybe we can do a throwback post (Throwback Thursday?) referencing an entry that some of us have forgotten about? When Hellobee first launched I was obsessed with reading about birthing and the first few weeks. Now I am obsessed with finding material on solids--previous posts on solids may have slipped my radar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sort-of-blog-posts-would-you-like-to-see/page/2#post-305176 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 12:06:18 +0000 daniellemybelle 305176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My favorites are:</p> <p>- Parenting "hacks" like @Lozza said<br /> - Birth stories<br /> - Anything about finances, since that's a big consideration for us</p> <p>DH &amp; I are still working to strengthen our relationship before a LO, and I'd really like to read more about relationships before and after kids and that kind of thing, too. More the kind of content you'd find on a solo mama's blog - not all 100% about the baby but also about her life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sort-of-blog-posts-would-you-like-to-see/page/2#post-305067 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 11:13:40 +0000 Lozza 305067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The posts I've bookmarked are:<br /> - the ones by the Bees on parenting tricks- turning your kids into friends, working through discipline issues, things they've learned from books... the idea of researching all this and reading up on it myself seems daunting, and I LOVE that you guys do so much of the work for me. I love it when Mr. Bee points out things I'd never think about, like how to discourage competition and comparisons between your kids.<br /> - I love the sensory development/activities posts, and other posts on the general "what should I DO with my kid" theme.<br /> - I've really enjoyed posts by bloggers dealing with issues of special needs in their kids and how they've gone through diagnosing and dealing with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sort-of-blog-posts-would-you-like-to-see/page/2#post-305059 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 11:09:33 +0000 mrskc 305059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These have been said before, but I would love to read about:<br /> -WOHM: schedules, what was the first day &amp; week back at work like, how is it after some adjustment period<br /> -Those first couple weeks home with a newborn.<br /> -Newborn care<br /> -Postpartum: what to expect, supply recommendations (I think there have been a couple like these already)<br /> -Love the gear posts!<br /> -love the newborn essentials posts<br /> -hospital bag<br /> -birth stories<br /> -preparing for labor<br /> -more pregnancy posts </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sort-of-blog-posts-would-you-like-to-see/page/2#post-305027 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 10:55:29 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 305027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>whooaaa this thread is a goldmine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sort-of-blog-posts-would-you-like-to-see/page/2#post-304983 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 10:41:57 +0000 regberadaisy 304983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boots McGee: OT but I love your username! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sort-of-blog-posts-would-you-like-to-see/page/2#post-304930 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 10:27:09 +0000 Boots McGee 304930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be forever indebted to the blogger who writes a post on turning a picky toddler into a good eater. I'd love to see more than just the "you have to put the food on their tray at least 10 times" stuff that I've already read. Just once, I'd like to read something from someone who has actually done it and maybe has some charts or a game plan she'd like to share.</p> <p>Also (and I apologize if these have been done!): introducing a new baby to a toddler sibling, at-home games and crafts, and vehicles for expanding families. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sort-of-blog-posts-would-you-like-to-see/page/2#post-304887 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 10:10:36 +0000 mjane 304887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>-anyone out there have thoughts about coping with anxiety during pregnancy (both about miscarriage, and you know, actually having a baby)<br /> -anyone have experiencing with bfeeding and formula feeding at the same time?<br /> -anyone trying, considering, or considered Unconditional Parenting? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-sort-of-blog-posts-would-you-like-to-see/page/2#post-304835 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 09:48:45 +0000 ShootingStar 304835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1.
