Testimony Tuesday Tomorrow!
(Because I love alliteration.) I think it might be generally unknown around here that I'm in a kind of leadership position at my local MOPs. I'm a discussion leader. When asked if I was interested in the position, I said, "Why sure! I do love discussions!" And it's...
Baking Mix Giveaway II
It's Bloggy Giveaway time again and since hundreds of you were eager to sign up for free baking mixes last time, I thought, "Why strain to be creative when you've already found success?" But, they won't be the same baking mixes. Introducing: Half-Whole-Wheat Sugar...
The Ultimate Sacrifice: Would You Do It?
"Lorraine Allard was told four months into the pregnancy the devastating news that she was in the advanced stages of cancer." She refused treatment so that her child could live. He was born, naturally, at 25 weeks - a week before her scheduled C-section. His mother...
Frugal Friday: Stretching A Sweet Deal
About a month ago, I was able to get Apple Cinnamon Cheerios for $0.50/box. The whole family was understandably excited. See, being the Natural Mommy, I try my darnedest to get the family to eat such healthy breakfast foods as granola, oatmeal, and shredded wheat. My...
Boing Boing Noises While Wiping Boys’ Noses
Say that five times fast. Actually, you know what? Just say it once. 'Tis the season for runny noses. Add to that the teeth violently pushing their way through my little guy's gums and you get a constant stream of drippage. Oh, but just reach for that Kleenex box...
And I Thought I Was Jinxing The Whole Thing…
(If I wasn't then, I sure am now...) I was all set to wait another six months for Olivia to accomplish the ... other half ... of potty training. But no! Nope! I was wrong! She came up to me after lunch today, handed me her diaper, went in, did her business, and then...
Meet-and-Greet Monday
When we get bored, we dip things in chocolate. Bananas, marshmallows, pretzels - nothing is safe. This just might be Olivia's favorite pastime. So there's your weekly Natural Family update in photos! (Where's Benjamin, you ask? In his high chair glaring at Cheerios.)...
Sunday Ponderings: You’re Not Perfect. Neither Is Your Neighbor. Get Over It.
Okay, so my pastor wasn't that blunt. But that's what I got out of it. He talked about Moses. I LOVE the story of Moses. I love how God directly intervened to save his life as an infant. And then handed him back to his own mother to nurse and raise him until he was...
I Think It’s Safe To Say It Now…
We are officially potty-training. (If Olivia were awake right now, she would totally be making a puddle on the carpet.) (Which is why I waited until she was asleep.) On a whim, over Christmas break, I asked if she wanted to go on the potty at Grandma's house. AND SHE...
And Then The Nightstand Fell On My Head
Causing me to resemble some deformed Star Trek mutant. While rearranging our bedroom, I took it upon myself to personally tackle the nightstand. I mean, I lug around a 20 pound baby boy all day everyday, surely I can handle a cheap piece of Target furniture. Ha. That...
