CVSing With Children
I would say "Shopping With Children," but "CVSing With Children" is just an entirely different level of shopping. When shopping, the cart doesn't really stop moving. You grab the items on your list, trying to set a world record for Shortest Grocery Trip Ever. When...
Meet-and-Greet Monday
I tried so hard to have my pictures up on Monday. It didn't help that a lot of them were on Josh's computer, which he took to work. So I finally got those pictures online, but forgot about the ones on the camera. It was a crazy day. Well, I'm posting the official...
Grandma*, If You’re Out There, WE NEED YOU.
So we just spent the past half-week at Grandma and Grandpa's*. (Or, as they are more commonly known around here, Gammy and Pop Pop*.) And we are going through Grandma*-withdrawal. Oh, my aching head, we surely are. The Benjamin won't be put down; his simple request in...
He Thwarts the Purposes of the Peoples
Psalm 33 Sing joyfully to the Lord, you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to praise him. Praise the Lord with the harp; make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre. Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy. For the word of the Lord is right and...
Recipe Swap: Dinners – El Cheapo
Sometimes my husband requires expensive dinners. His favorites include steak on the grill, pork tenderloin, and any-and-all roasts. However, that much meat requires an equal and opposite El Cheapo Dinner. Probably the most popular El Cheapo Dinner around here is...
Guess What We’re Doing RIGHT NOW.
At 11:39 a.m., we will be getting on a TRAIN. For our very first TRAIN RIDE. *Grins* It's Josh's spring break, and we planned long ago to go visit his family in Missouri. But we HATE driving. We hate the 7 hour trip it is without two young ones in the backseat. We...
Because Potty Training Is All I Think About Some Days
We went to MOPS this morning. (It was the special Easter Tea. I gave my testimony.) Olivia wore underwear. Just like she did when she went to church on Sunday. There was no incident on Sunday. I thought we were making progress. That's what I get for thinking. When...
The Daylight Savings Time Strikes Again
The craziness started last night. Benjamin refused to go to bed before midnight. He wasn't fussy, just antsy. And adorable. He was rolling around on the carpet chewing on carrot sticks while Josh and I watched The Twilight Zone. But it ended well; he slept like...
Meet-and-Greet Monday
This is just one example of how Olivia engages Benjamin every day. She truly is the best big sister. Makes me want half a dozen more. And this is just one example of how cultured were are here at Chez Natural. Olivia tries so hard to be as cool as her little brother....
Vaccination Lessons: The Pc Vaccine. And Breastfeeding. Because I Like To Combine.
The Pc vaccine protects a child against pneumococcal (Pc) disease, which ranges from mild cold symptoms and ear infections to severe pneumonia, bloodstream infections, and meningitis. The Pc vaccine is recommended by the AAP at 2, 4, 6, and 15 months. The vaccine came...
