Toddler is almost not the right word anymore once 2.5 approaches. They are pretty quick on their feet – not at all the wobbly image you think of. New skills like jumping and stomping and skipping..and Mox can’t hear any kind of music without dancing. She’s picked up a lot from her brothers, too; the [...]
Oh, Murphy. Whoever you were, whatever caused you to write your Law, you sure did know your stuff. Whatever can happen will happen, and that’s why the kids are sniffly and coughing and miserable 3 days before Thanksgiving. That we’re hosting. And then leaving the next night to visit more family. Peachy. Well, I’m not having [...]
Nesting. Sleeping. Crying. Urgency. Anxiousness. Peace. Excitement. Anticipation. Preparation. Busy. Accomplished. Tired. Tired. Awake. Full. Complete. The third trimester of pregnancy is intense and magical all at once. Your baby has grown to fill you up, and just when you think they can’t grow any more, they do.

YouTube has sucked me in lately, and some indiscriminate surfing led me to MamaNatural. Holy moly, I’m so glad it did. This Mama has a gift. My kids wanted to know what was so funny as I grinned like an idiot at the computer screen. There is one on cravings, tropical smoothies, and a fun [...]

The past few weeks have been consumed with renovations, major housecleaning, packing, a vacation and – most recently – the fifth birthday of my oldest kiddo and the only one to really have to transition to veg eating. When I was pregnant with him, we had a very limited budget, and it was my early [...]
We have had a lot of meltdowns around here lately. The kids are bored out of their skulls, I am exhausted, and we go ‘round and ‘round all day long. It’s partly the heat that has returned, but I think it’s a lot to do with our schedule adjusting. We are up at 6 to [...]
(Enjoy this guest post from my friend Lana as she shares some information on blood sugar, sweeteners, and alternatives.) Have you ever noticed your kids behaving worse than usual after eating a lot of sweets? The day after a sugar-fest holiday like Easter or Halloween, my mom counts on getting nothing done. Immediately after eating [...]
A few days ago marked Moxi Lady’s six month birthday. It’s hard to believe that half a year has passed already. I’ll probably say that for every major interval from here on out. It just flies by. Over the past few days, she has started in on separation anxiety. It’s pretty adorable, though, cos she [...]
