I'm a mother of three, five and under. I'm a wife to a perpetual student. (Seriously, just graduate already - I mean, "I support you, honey.") I'm a child to the only Father who can claim to be Perfect, and I study under Him daily in hopes of learning from the Best.
I believe in breastfeeding, natural childbirthing, cloth-diapering, co-sleeping, baby-wearing, and attachment parenting.

I received this email from Sarah today and thought that maybe, just maybe, there might be more than one of you out there with the same questions so I’m going to share my limited expertise in this area with all of you. My husband is also a “perpetual grad student,” and we learned this week [...]

It’s not completely abnormal that my nineteen-month-old likes to sit in rubbermaid containers… is it? I disagree, on an aesthetic level, with the raking of leaves. This is why: The beauty: I tried to set up my own photo shoot, with that oak tree in the background. She thought it was fun to run from [...]

(Thank you all for your sweet encouragement on my last post. It’s hard to believe with my sparse blogging I could have inspired that kind of reader loyalty and it.just.makes.me.happy.) Well, Boston told us they’d get back to us within a week if they wanted Josh, and it’ll be two weeks this coming Monday. So [...]

I’m missing from this blog. I visit occasionally to show you pictures and give you updates. But my heart and soul are gone from this place. I’ve been thinking recently, trying to figure out why. Here’s what I came up with: I had a very busy summer, and simply got out of the practice of [...]

Guess what we did on the last day of October? We dressed the kids up in cuddly-soft costumes and took them around to the neighbors to beg for candy. Olivia the Kitty Cat (who refused to put her cat-head on for me): Benjamin the Panda Bear: Which way to the candy? Hmm… and you say [...]

I haven’t been feeling the greatest since, well, since about the day before I got on the train to come back home from Missouri. Those durn HCG levels, I tell ya. I get sick if I don’t eat, and I get sick if I do. The only time I feel good is while I’m eating, [...]
