There’s just something about a big (ish) tough aviator with a pink-clad baby girl strapped to his chest… …a sweet pupper, curled up on her pillow… …and a baby girl who still holds on tightly. I love my beautiful, sweet family.… Continue Reading

#AmazonFail Scandal–What’s Your Take?
Oy, where to start…? First of all, let’s start here. I’ve had barely any wine for the last year, and tonight I had about 6 oz and I’m TIPSY. I wouldn’t normally blog in this state, but as I said before, it’s NaBloPoMo and I’m trying to post every day. I don’t have something “saved… Continue Reading
Comforting Cauliflower Soup
For forever, I’ve had the Pioneer Woman’s Cauliflower Soup bookmarked. It just looks amazing, doesn’t it? My friend Meagan has made it and has confirmed its amazingness. But I never made it. Don’t ask me why. And now I wouldn’t want to make it as-is because it has flour in it. So I made my… Continue Reading
More Ring Slings–I Love Babywearing!
Who knew? Before I had Anneliese “on the outside” I knew I wanted to give babywearing a go. I’m not sure where I first heard of it… probably somewhere in all of my research into natural/evolutionary diet, breastfeeding, etc. I guess I got sucked into the natural parenting rabbit hole. But you really don’t know… Continue Reading
Grain-Free Bacon Drop Biscuits
If you’ve been reading my blog at all in the last year, you know I love my coconut flour. And you also know I love bacon. So today when I got the hankering to bake something new, and flipped through Cooking with Coconut Flour, as soon as my eyes hit “Bacon Drop Biscuits” I gasped.… Continue Reading
Anneliese is Three Months Old
Happy 3 months to my little girl! This is an exciting milestone, the end of the “fourth trimester.” My baby isn’t a fetus-on-the-outside anymore. She’s a separate person (who still needs me of course). She goes for longer periods of time between nursing these days, unless it’s a clusterfeeding-growth-spurty day. She’s also starting to be… Continue Reading
A Serge of Energy – With My Brother Serger
Well, not of energy, but of free time today. Yesterday, my girl didn’t nap at all, and nursed almost all day. Today she’s been sleeping almost all day. But who could resist the pun, when I’ve been playing with my serger today? I bought this serger based on its TONS of 4-5 star reviews, and… Continue Reading
My Craft Mojo is Back
When I was pregnant, I felt like poo and didn’t want to do much of anything. Cooking, cleaning, crafting, anything. Now that this baby is OUT (and awesome by the way) I have renewed energy and motivation. And an excuse to craft. An excuse to craft a lot of things. You’ve seen some of the… Continue Reading
My Dad’s Visit
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about the carousel of company we’d been having (my mom, one of my sisters, and my father-in-law). A few days after that post, my dad came to visit.It was a really nice, low-key visit, and lucky for him (and us) we had figured out how to use the… Continue Reading
In Celebration of Babywearing
International Babywearing Week starts today! I don’t have a huge touching story to share, and I can’t tell you that babywearing is central to my parenting thus far, especially since my daughter refuses to be worn inside the house (though on errands and outings she is happiest in my ring sling or my soft structured… Continue Reading
A Carousel of Company!
I asked my facebook buddies if I should write up a recipe, family post, or gDiaper post next. They asked me for a family update, so here it is! (Thanks, awesome facebook friends!) First, my mother visited. She was here for several days, and we got to do some fun stuff. We went to the… Continue Reading
