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.
So Olivia and I are cutting back on gluten again. It appears we may not need to be completely gluten-free, but we definitely need to be consuming less of it. And I had just perfected my wheat pizza crust, too. {Pout} But tonight, I was motivated to try my hand at a gluten-free crust again. [...]

I’m assuming T stands for Time and therefore decided D could stand for Distance. Or perhaps Destination. I assume things rather than Google them because, well, my blogging time is rare.

May 5th. That is when Josh will be done with his pre-lims. Prelims? The thing that comes after his Qualifying Exam and before his Defense. I totally didn’t do grad school. Happy with my Bachelors, thankyouverymuch. At first I thought the craziness* would be over by the end of February. Then March. And here we [...]

I tried to work with Levi (21 months old) on his pincher grip. I was using clothes pins. I put one in his hand, squeezed the end with him, noted how it opened, and clipped it to the edge of a bucket. We did that a few times and I got called away. In my [...]

Photo Credit My top ten reasons for not going to bed: It’s finally quiet. I have next-to-no fear of being interrupted. My brain can see straight. (This is a result of numbers 1 and 2). I just meant to do one thing, but that reminded me I had wanted to make a Facebook Page, and [...]

It would appear that our 21 month old is done with diapers. But I am not ready to potty train him. I don’t want to. I won’t. You can’t make me. With Olivia, she was willing and able to go in the potty until the novelty of the chore wore off. When it was no [...]

Spring is baby season for me. Or, at least, it has been. Every other year since 2005*, I’ve had a spring baby. 2005, 2007, 2009… And here I sit in 2011 with an empty womb. Granted, it’s been a trying year. I spent three months separated from my husband, taking care of my mom. Then [...]
