Regular dishes on life in New Orleans, historic home renovation, raising kids, completing a PhD, travel near and far, global concerns, and health issues.
You know the story, right? International health... work all over the place... drag my kids around in sacks through villages in Central America... yadda yadda. I decided to go for another degree, so in 2004 we moved to New Orleans with no intention of staying. Then Katrina. And then *blink*blink* New Orleans is a completely different place and we just can't leave. Suddenly I'm on TV talking about immigrants and health and Paul is starting a company. Or two. His side is high-tech, mine is community health and our lives are yearly evacuation, regular celebrations, and nonstop work here, there, and everywhere. Our door is always open. I only ask that if you decide to go ahead and make yourself that mint julep, you make one for me, too.
We strive to make our life our argument.

being nulliparous (and with limited exposure to others’ offspring) i have to ask: is constipation a common problem among children?

In a word, yes.
There is a reason for all that prune baby food.
From the moment they are born (and in some cases, including Kate’s, even before they are born), bowel movements are the focus of parents’ lives. Few things cause more household concern than a parent noting that their child has not had a bowel movement in several days.

I love the old ad! I have an entire cookbook from the 30s put out by procter and gamble as a marketing piece. Everything AND I mean everything has crisco in it!
As for the whole poop and children. Unfortunately from birth it is the focus of a parents life.
