In light of the recent anti-breastfeeding tweet drama I’ve been talking with others about and also doing quite a bit of thinking about breastfeeding. I get it, we are an overly sexual culture that has made boobs more of an sexual prop than a life sustaining mechanism. I know the reality is that many people...

We just got back from a jam-packed weekend trip. The last 24 hours were spent home catching up on household duties and trying to recoup. I had a good birthday trip. The highlight was visiting the Cotton Babies store in St Louis, MO. They were having $1.00/ $5.00 used diapers on sale and were also...

Spring still isn’t quite here yet but some bulbs are rearing their heads though. I am happy that the three peony divisions we brought from our old, moldy rental house are resurfacing. I wasn’t sure if they had rotted away in the overly wet area we mistakenly planted them last spring when we just moved...

I’ve been running around the house like a madwoman cursing and going on just about every time I enter the kitchen. Everly thinks my rants are funny, I am not amused though. The cause: tiny black ants that are seeking warmth and moisture under things like the espresso machine and the water distiller. It’s a...

I broke down and bought some more baby leg warmers for Everly last week. Not only are they cute but they also make diaper changes and using the potty a breeze because you have no pants to remove. This is especially important when you are rushing to try getting her to the toilet for her...

No, I am not talking scarlet fever or hay fever… It’s SPRING fever around here! Thankfully we’ve kicked our cold (I should say E and I kicked it, N might be coming down with it now). So things are more productive here especially since the weekend was warmer than usual, basically it was NOT jacket...

I’ve been working on making E a pair of baby legwarmers since October. I just finished them today which is kind of a big deal. You see I tend to start and never finish my knit and crochet projects… Today will probably be the only day she’ll wear them since it took me two months...

It’s a stormy gloomy day. I laid down to nap because I had writer block this afternoon and the weather was making me lazy. I had this post in the works but have been debating whether or not someone would read and benefit from it or if it’s just another pointless TMI post. It is...

Everly had her first doctors appointment this week, her 2 month checkup. We saw an integrated medicine physician who seems to be right up our alley in her care philosophy. She’s not pushy about vaccinations and didn’t freak out when we mentioned E was a homebirth baby. Integrated medicine is a mix between alternative medicine...

There are only about 3 weeks left until I’ll be at The Farm. I am doing great and Tater seems to be planning to stay inside for a bit longer (thank goodness). I’ve told her she has to stay put until June 4th at least, that way she’ll be full term! In the meantime we...
