Back in 2009...Emily "Under $1k per month"

What ever happened to this blogger?

pixy_stix · April 2012

She quit when people started calling CPS on her living situation. I think the last time she posted she stated that they were under investigation, then the blog was pulled.

Oh, good question! Last I remember there was some drama over DNA and the alleged "Bible school" he was attending. Man, I would love to know what kind of tarp her kids are sleeping in now.

There are a lot of things you can add to tacos to make them more expensive: sour cream, store bought fresh lettuce and tomatoes, even peppers, guacamole, olives, and assorted cheeses. These will not increase the taste of the food in proportion to how they increase cost.

She's clearly never had the right kind of guacamole. Also, most of her food looks gross.

I miss her so, so much.

Emily's fashion advice can be found here. And an excerpt below on Christmas socks:

If you get green and red striped socks for Christmas, don't hide them under long pants and boots. A skirt would be a better option. If you are a man, allow them to show below your pants hem. What is the point of wearing such fun socks if no one knows about it?

Emily on pooping:

I am a home birther, which is a bit of a graphic topic, but essentially, I sing while I birth. I am a little self conscious about it. My parents told me I was a bad singer growing up. I've been through counseling, but I am a little wary about singing in front of others, but I sing while I birth. I must do it.

Ok, so there is a sphincter law. Essentially, if all of your orifices are relaxed, it will allow, hmmm, items to pass through them more easily. So, singing in a low, bluesy type of voice allows me to pass babies, and defecate when it is troublesome to do so. It also entertains my kids when I sing on the toilet.

You want to sing in a low deap voice. Think of the southern old time blues singers. A high pitched voice will almost do the opposite when you are having trouble passing poop. Experiment with low tones and see how it goes.

So if you are having trouble with constipation, try singing. But only in a low, bluesy tone. Naturally.

Didn't she also install a barely supported bookshelf above the crib?

I really really really wish I had not read this during class. Really.

Don't forget the giant stuffed dog hanging over the toilet and collecting bacteria, next to the desk lamp balanced precariously near the bathtub.

And next to the hand-powered portable washing machine she used to clean the dirty cloth diapers that she would first hose off in the bathtub!

Oh! The story that Emily is most known for is cooking and serving the placenta to her family after her homebirths. Placenta spaghetti, was it?

And people take cooking advice from this woman?

Here's a sentence I never thought I'd read...

Still, I am looking for other ways to make my life easier while we transition into new baby life. There is a placenta recipe I wanted to try, and it looks like it would be good with rigatoni, so I was thinking of buying store bought pasta, just this once.

I lurk over here but had to chime in. I loved Emily. Her blog was such a train wreck. In addition to everything you mentioned, you forgot her cheese making using her skirt as the cheese cloth. And her obsession with the crock pot because she was committed to oven-less living. Remember her bread that she made by putting a can of dough in the crock pot?

She had a toilet?

It probably doubled as a time out chair.

Of all the crazy in that woman's life, she decided to go to therapy because her parents told her she can't sing?!?!?! Psychologists can't fix tone-deaf. Fact.
