Natural Mat Coco Mat

Natural Mat Coco Crib MattressThe Coco Mat is the most breathable and natural organic crib mattress. It is filled with coir from the only certified organic coir plantation in the world. Coir is made from coconut husks which are coated in natural latex to make a supportive and breathable fibrous layer. The coir is then wrapped in our unique lambswool which is bathed in a mixture made from extracts of lavender, lemon and eucalyptus making it completely anti-dust mite as well as maintaining the excellent thermal insulating properties of natural wool.

There are several people in my life who are seemingly never lacking in motivation. DJ Quick is one of them.

My parents always seemed like this as well -- a nearly infinite well of motivation and self-control, managing to keep a house and raise a family while both holding down jobs, exercising regularly, and entertaining varying degrees of hobby-like activity.

I hope that I can maintain that level of motivation when we have children. Right now it often feels like I would rather sit on the couch after a long day than work on photos, go to the gym, or whatever. That's fine when the most attention anything really requires is taking Abbot out and throwing together some kind of dinner. A child, of course, will be far more Responsibility.

We are fortunate, thanks to our parents' sacrifices, that Cori will be able to do the stay-at-home mom thing. My opinions about the "stay at home parent" thing have changed dramatically in the last few years. It turns out that just keeping a home is a giant amount of work, most of which never gets done. When do people find time and energy to wash windows, clean driveways, wipe out window rails, restain patio furniture?

The contempt I once felt for stay-at-home parents has been replaced by a contempt merely for those that don't do anything with that time. I'm thinking "Housewives of Orange County" here. And of course, as Cori pointed out, that's really the whole point of the show -- that we feel contempt for these characters.

Cori isn't someone who will be satisfied -- long-term -- without some kind of structure, so it will be interesting to see what her experience is like. But if we can provide a home for the child, if she can keep herself busy enough to stay sane, and if the payoff is that I can spend more time with the kid(s?) and less time with laundry, that seems like an amazing opportunity.

And it's an opportunity provided us because of the bedrock that our parents built on -- that seemingly die-hard motivation. Hopefully some of it rubbed off unknowingly on me.
