1:25 am – In the middle of watching our Grey’s Anatomy recording Everly wakes and cries for milk. We pause our show and I go down to nurse her. Five minutes later she’s back asleep and we resume watching our show. 2amish – Finally turn in for bed. 4:45am – Everly wakes crying for milk...

I am betting Lee will win American Idol next week. There is just something captivating and bigger than life about him. I love Crystal’s voice and style but I think Lee has more star quality about him. This will probably be another season where both the contestants in the finale go on to do big...

Dude, our baby girl isn’t really a baby anymore! Her first birthday is just over a month away at this point and I can’t believe a year has passed. We decided we might as well give the first birthday party thing a try despite the fact that all of our family and long-time friends are...

When I started blogging my homebirth and breastfeeding journey I had no intention of pushing my beliefs on to others. Like I’ve said in the past writing is more for me and my self actualization process. This has been especially true with my journey through pregnancy and in to parenthood. Over the last few months...

Thoughts of E’s first birthday are swirling in my head. Did you know she’s almost 11 months old now? In preparation we are still trying out birthday cake recipes.

Over the weekend we dropped another small fortune at the home improvement store and came home with many more things to install, build with or attach to things. Tuesday’s task was lawn mowing and animal proofing the garden space. Things are growing up a storm in there. Mustard greens, pac choi and spinach will be...

Everly has begun to let us know she’s not interesting in eating jarred baby foods anymore. I even brought one along for our trip to the Olive Garden on Saturday so she’d have something safe to eat. She just whined and refused to take bites of the jar food but when N offered her a...

It must seem dorky that we get so much enjoyment out of hanging around the house. These days we’ve been basically landscaping, building, gardening and fixing up our house. We can hardly believe that for the first time in about 10+ years we are living somewhere for LONGER than a year. This month marks 1...
