The last couple of weeks have been all about decluttering/nesting, guzzling milk, nursing my teething baby, and growing Baby2.

Baby Monitor for iPhone??? Best, Easiest, Cheapest and How to Do It
A couple of years ago, I had the opportunity to babysit for a sweet family with a 2.5 year old boy. It was then that I got my first taste of the genius that is the Video Baby Monitor. Sure it was staticy and only worked with the receiver plugged in (the battery sucked, which…
5 Ways I Put the “Good” in my Mornings
This is a sponsored post from BlogHer and Tropicana. You’ve heard about “waking up on the wrong side of the bed,” right? Some days, that happens. But often, you can get out of that morning funk if you make a conscious effort to start the day off with GOOD. Here are some little things I…
Little Things add up to a Big Difference
This is sponsored content from BlogHer and GE. What do you do to conserve energy? Here’s what I do: Cloth: Why use something disposable when you can use cloth? (This goes for paper/plastic dishes, cups, and utensils too.) Sure I have paper towels around, but I rarely use them. Instead of storing them prominently within…
Just some things…
Solo parenting takes a lot of energy, y’all. Just so you know. In case you don’t already know. And if you do already know, props to you. This stuff ain’t no walk in the park. So anyway, just some things. I’m learning/practicing back wraps. I haven’t figured out how to make it comfy enough to…
All Moved In
Mostly. If you’ve been following my facebook page or my twitter, you know that I’ve been trying like crazy to get our internet connection set up. First, our modem got shipped from Texas to Pennsylvania. Yeah, we live in California. Last Tuesday our DSL was “activated” but we had no modem, so I called to…
How to Keep From Going Crazy before a PCS
This is sponsored content from BlogHer and Olay. As you know, my husband is in the Navy and we have moved a lot. A LOT. And we’re moving again in January (not far, just to base, but still…), this move will be our 5th move in 4 years. And I’ve learned a few things about…
Dehydrating Vegetables – Primal/Paleo Emergency Food Kit?
One thing about eating the way that we do – mostly meat, produce, eggs, and dairy – is that it makes it difficult to have a store of food ready in case of an emergency. On the east coast, that would mean hurricanes or tornadoes. Out here, that means possibly an earthquake (which my husband…
Yard sale tomorrow!
So you know all the decluttering and organizing I’ve been doing? Tomorrow we’re going to try to get rid of some of the clutter by having a yard sale. Some of it has already sold because I listed it early on Craigslist, but now we’re just hoping to get rid of the rest and make…
Military Move #4 – Navy PCS Across the Country
Yup, we’re moving again. This will be our fourth military move in 27 months. We won’t always be moving quite this often, but with the hubs in training, that means a lot of getting shuffled here and there. First, we spent 2 months in Pensacola, FL while he was in API (flight training ground school)….
Scrimping and Saving! Mmm… Canon.
My little camera is starting to get on in years. It’s slowing down, and part of that may be that it just needs a new battery because the current one is reacting more slowly… but it also has some dead pixels where it doesn’t record any info. Normally you can’t tell but if that pixel…
Motivated not-mom and stuff
Earlier, I posted about the Motivated Moms chore planner (It should be in the “related links” at the bottom of this post in case you missed it.) and how amazing it is. What would be more amazing is if I actually kept up with it. Still, I love lists. And I love checking off boxes,…
