Pregnant in the Summer: Coping with Nausea in a Heat Wave

Pregnant in Summer

My personal experiences have had me rather large and advanced in the pregnancy by the time summer is in full swing, so I haven’t actually had full blown morning sickness in the dead of heat. The third trimester can offer nausea as well, though, so no matter what stage of pregnancy you are in over [...]

Breastfeeding- Vegan Snack p.292: Garbanzo Crunchies

Garbanzo Crunchies

Crunchy things make me happy. When we are talking about guilty pleasures- aside from Reese’s and ice cream, preferably together- crunchy does it for me. Crackers and cheese. Chips and dip. Potato chips and root beer (don’t judge!). I could live on the stuff. Chips and salsa with orange juice to drink…oh man, throw in [...]

Whole Foods for Early Eaters

Baby Eating Watermelon

When it comes to babies and learning to eat, I take the lazy mom approach. Because we breastfeed, I’m perfectly content with the nutrition, affordability and ease of use of their main food supply for months. Until they are really ready, I don’t want to mess with a good thing. There comes a time, though, [...]

The One Where We Wash the Dishes Outside

Dishes Outside

Something about a long weekend throws everything off kilter. The kids had spent a weekend with a cousin and grandparents and a sprinkler, pool, and very large TV.

Storms Hit Home

Last night, my dad called to ask if we were okay. Sure, why? Rumor had it, some storms had gone through Joplin. He wasn’t sure it was really all that bad, so he thought he would check with us to see if we were getting storms. Eh, so-so. He called again. They saw it on [...]

Reeling Over Rubble – How to Help Japan

In my little bubble, the world could fall apart around me and I would never know. No TV to blast the images, no news feeds to numb me. As it turns out, the world did fall apart around me on Friday, and I had little idea. The first I heard of Friday’s earthquakes and subsequent [...]

No Sew Apron for Kids

Kids Apron from a T Shirt

After I made my own apron the other day, I found the kids taking their superman capes and putting them on backwards so that they could be aprons. Since I don’t want them dragging food and paint spots all over their super-flight-paths, they needed their own apron(s). Sitting at the table eating lunch with them, [...]
