Purposeful Mothering: Suffocated by Fear, Doubt, and OCD
Yesterday I had the opportunity to talk with real! live! mothers! Face to face, even! We talked about our little ones' acheivements, and our life as mothers in general. And as I bragged on my babies' devout desire to help me do dishes, and my dream to homeschool, I...

It’s Been (And Continues to Be) a Crazy Couple Months
I don't even remember June. Did we have one this year? I think we may have gone to Missouri. By train. I'll have to check the archives to be sure. I sat down today and tried to list where we've been every weekend for the past two months. I can only remember back...

The High Fat, High Calorie Solution?
I took Benjamin to a well-baby check up appointment a couple weeks ago and found he is remaining in the 10th percentile for height and weight (50th for head). The doctor wouldn't have even noticed, since he's been steadily short and "skinny" for the past several...
