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...

Little Miss is down for the night and I’ve got a few free moments to bust out a blog post. Lots is going on ’round here, Everly is just growing like a weed. It seems she has a new “first” every darn day and we are kind of having a hard time keeping up. Lets...

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...

I’ve come across something that is a very good idea for the world of social media and the internet that I’ve not been able to find done elsewhere. I am kind of excited about it and have purchased several related domain names. Hint: it is calendar related. I am searching high and low for web...

The morning started with an early rising Everly who wanted to nurse and cuddle but the sun wasn’t even up yet! I brought her to our bed so I could lay and snooze why she nursed. When she had her fill she rolled over and spotted her daddy snoozing away. Daddy is her morning fun-time...

Last week it rained quite a bit. Normally this wouldn’t be an issue except we just had a huge amount of mulch, peat moss and vermiculite dumped on our driveway so we could use it to prep the square foot gardening beds N built. So the dirt and such has been a muddy mess in...

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...

The Renters and The Slumlords return. All the sudden my blog is getting search traffic from people searching our old “slumlord’s” names. This winter word got around that one of their former tenants filed a lawsuit against them over a lead paint issue. You can read about it here. I had several people stumble upon...
