I’ve “broken” my current site even more, by working on the new layout… so much for the “theme test drive” plugin. Sidebars are screwed up, thumbnails are gone, who knows what else? I’m sorry it looks SO BAD. I’m having a few issues with the new theme but hopefully will get them worked out shortly.… Continue Reading

Oops
So I’ve been getting ready to update my site significantly. It will be FAR easier to find recipes you’re looking for, craft projects, posts about Zora, gDiaper posts, or whatever strikes your fancy. Most of this has been crazy behind the scenes stuff you probably haven’t even noticed. But today I did something you probably… Continue Reading
So Big, So Small
I know my little girl is a baby, but sometimes when I look into her face, I see a KID. I wonder what she thinks about, what she dreams about… I wonder about the things that she notices, what patterns she’s recognizing in the world around her, and what’s brand new and surprising to her.… Continue Reading
No Recipe Shrimp–NaBloPoMo
I thought these were decently good, but my husband said they weren’t good enough. So you don’t get the recipe. And this is my post for the day. I’m doing NaBloPoMo again, where you post every day in November. Well, sometimes there isn’t a whole lot to say. Or things you want to say but… Continue Reading
Low-Sugar Chocolate Fudge
Most fudge has scads and scads of sugar – usually multiple kinds: confectioner’s sugar, evaporated milk, milk chocolate, brown sugar, granulated sugar… most recipes have at least 2 types. Here’s a refreshingly simple recipe for fudge that only has a bit of honey, instead of tons of sugar. I’ve adapted it from the recipe here.… Continue Reading
Twice Baked Potatoes & Potato Skins – Make & Freeze
I think this is the last “make and freeze” recipe I had saved up from when I was pregnant. We got a huge bag of potatoes and I did various things with them, so they’d be available for quick meals, sides, or snacks when I was going to be occupied with a newborn and too… Continue Reading
Roasted Okra and Onions
Since Okra has been in season and in abundance at our farmer’s market, we’ve been eating it almost every week lately. And this way of making it is so easy and delicious (and NOT slimy – which I know you’ll appreciate if you’re like me and hate slimy okra) that this is how we’ve prepared… Continue Reading
Review – TT Coconut Cream Concentrate
What Is It? Coconut cream concentrate is basically ground up coconuts, oil and all. Think of peanut butter, but instead of peanuts, it’s coconuts. In the name of all that is holy, this is amazing stuff. It’s mostly fat (1 tablespoon contains almost 100 calories of fat) which means a spoonful can be an excellent… Continue Reading
gWhiz! – gDiapers 101 – Tiny gPants Details
gDiapers not only has Small, Medium, and Large gPants, but also newborn Tiny gPants which are intended for your babies when they’re at their smallest. A lot of people out there seem to be very curious about these tiny gPants, especially since they’re not sold in stores, and are only available in the new baby… Continue Reading
Review and Giveaway – Bravado Essential Nursing Tank
What Is It? Bravado Designs makes a nursing tank that is different from every other nursing tank I’ve seen. Why is it different? Because it has a REAL BRA inside. Not a skimpy shelf bra. From 32D to 40G, women in a wide range of sizes will be able to buy a nursing tank that… Continue Reading
Coconut Cream “Health Fudge”
I saw this recipe on the Tropical Traditions site, and made a version of it (changed a couple things to suit what ingredients I had). Aren’t they pretty little squares? Coconut Cream “Health Fudge” In a bowl, mix: 1/2 cup honey 1/4 cup coconut cream concentrate 3/4 cup natural peanut butter 3 Tablespoons cocoa powder… Continue Reading
Grain-Free Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread
Maybe it’s because we’ve been running around a lot more in the mornings, but Anneliese has been napping like crazy lately. Seriously, I have HOURS to get things done now! So yesterday I baked those banana nut muffins, and today I tried out a pumpkin recipe I had in my head. At first I thought… Continue Reading
