Top Things That I Wish Someone Had Told Me About Pregnancy

January 30, 2012

I like to be PREPARED for things. I do research. I read books. I make lists. I plan. But here is what pregnancy has taught me – research, lists, and plans BE DAMNED! Your body will darned well do whatever it feels like whenever it feels like, regardless of what the books, your friends, or [...]

What’s On Your Fridge?

November 10, 2011

I saw a bunch of people participating in a link-up showing what is on their fridge and what it shows about them, and thought I’d participate! So, here is my fridge! (Totally untouched-up for the photo!) As you can see, I’m a big fan of magnets. My favorite wedding “Save The Dates” are magnet ones [...]

The Demise Of The Potato Tree

October 12, 2011

A little over a year ago, I wrote about how I buried an old russet potato in our planter box and it grew into a beautiful flowering bush. I had intended to write the epilogue for that post a few months later, but, um, I was pregnant! And miserable! And felt like I was always [...]

We’re using cloth diapers, we’ve been AMAZINGLY blessed with hand me downs and gifts of all sorts, and I’ve really been stingy when it comes to spending money on baby-related items.

I Slept In Spit-Up, And It Was Totally Worth It

May 20, 2011

Nathan has some reflux issues (a baby with heartburn, so sad!) and at his last well-baby check up, his pediatrician gave us a can of Enfamil A.R. (Anti-Reflux) and said that while he didn’t believe in the formula’s claims, we could give it a try if we wanted.   ** Sidenote: I’ve been supplementing my [...]

First of all, I know that we need sun exposure to live, and without the sun, none of us would be here right now. Let’s just get that part out of the way, because I have no beef with the sun on those accounts. To understand where I’m coming from, you need to know two [...]
