She Wants to be a Mommy AND a Baby
I've decided on the reason Olivia will not potty train. She knows how good she's got it. If she wants some independence, she asks for it. And I gladly give it. "Yes, I would LOVE your help with the dishes!" "Great job sweeping the floor!" "Thank you for pushing...
Our Cloth Diaper Journey: From Cheap to Comfy
One recurrent theme in the "What Should The Natural Mommy Write About" comment section was cloth diapers. And I can TALK about cloth diapers. Watch out. A lot has changed since the prefold days. Like, for example, the fact that we don't use prefolds anymore. They...
Meet-and-Greet Monday
Okay, so first of all, I love that what you guys want to read about = what I want to write about. Aren't we just a match made in heaven? Second, I still have no pictures of the new place. I actually don't have many pictures at all. I just ordered a Nikon D60 (due...

Missing The Natural Mommy?
I know I am!! I've heard rumors that sometime tomorrow between the hours of 12 and 5 the internet people will give her the hook up! I just thought I'd let you all know she'll be back with us soon, don't give up on her! And if you were concerned or worried, they are...
Recipe Swap – Smoooooooooooooothies.
Eek, this is even later that it was supposed to be... I posted it around noon - or so I thought. Then I left to scrub the new duplex, came back, and found I CLICKED SAVE INSTEAD OF PUBLISH. My mind... she is a-going... Sorry this is a bit late - and it's the first...
My Mind, She Is a-Going, Going…
Going? What kind of word is that? Going. Going. Boing. My mind is Going. And that about sums it up. Benjamin is starting to get better during the night. He is waking up at 5 or 6 pretty regularly, and then wanting to nurse. Sometimes I tell him no, there's no sun yet....
Meet-and-Greet Monday
Happy 234th Birthday, Honey! (We go all out for birthdays. We get dressed up, I serve a divine cake that isn't falling apart at all, and we go out and buy brand-spankin' new candles. We would never combine the candles from our 23rd and 24th birthdays so that their sum...
How I Feel
It doesn't hurt like a fresh wound. It's bothersome like a scab. It was a fresh wound on Monday. It was real. And I cried. But now it's more like a scab. It gets brushed. Like when I slid into bed last Wednesday night and remembered how I had rested my hand upon my...
The Night Before
Irony: an outcome of events contrary to what was, or might have been, expected. Coincidence: a striking occurrence of two or more events at one time apparently by mere chance. Providence: God, esp. when conceived as omnisciently directing the universe and the affairs...
