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.
Compared to the bottle-feeding, Pampers-wearing, crib-sleeping, day-caring world around me, I thought maybe that qualified me as a Natural Mommy.
Is it just my family? Olivia did the same thing when she was three. I’m glad because I don’t have to wonder if Benjamin’s will go away. For both of them, when they turned three, their little minds started working faster than their tiny tongues could carry out thoughts-turned-words. Just another patience building exercise for [...]

I started a Diaper Review page before life got all crazy, and finally added my bumGenius one-size 3.0 review today! This makes a grand total of three reviews (also Mommy’s Touch and Fuzzi Bunz one-size). But I have more to add!

I have a tan on my legs for the first time in years. And it has been too cold for shorts. I lost 30 pounds and had to buy new pants. It made sense at the time to buy shorts instead. I have been holding my pants up with a belt. See above. The house [...]

The day after I promise to post more, I get mastitis. Lucky, I’m already on the mend. Having been ordered by my sweet husband to “take it easy,” I figured what could be more easy that sitting on the couch with a sleeping baby and dog and post some Hawaii pictures for you all? “When [...]

In case you haven’t noticed, I haven’t been blogging much lately. Or tweeting. Or facebooking. I haven’t logged into Google Reader in months. After Christmas vacation, I started getting serious about homeschooling Olivia. We needed a set slot in our schedule for school instead of trying to fit it in around “Mommy’s Computer Time.” So [...]

There. We made a decision. For the first time since we moved here almost four years ago, we know for sure what we’re doing. It’s been a very un-sure past four years. Filled with potential job offers that never finalized and real job offers that fizzled out at the last minute. I’ve searched for houses [...]

I know you want Hawaii pictures. But believe it or not, it’s easier and faster to spit out written posts than to choose, edit, resize, upload, arrange, and caption picture posts. I am working on it. Promise. ———————————————————— When I woke up this morning, I was in a good mood. I went for a run. [...]

We received news while waiting to board the plane to Hawaii that Josh had been selected to receive the SMART scholarship. Now he just has to decide whether or not accepting it is in our family’s best interest. The fine print states that if he does not finish his degree, he has to pay them [...]
