Last Fall I was introduced to Wildtree which specializes healthy seasonings, oils, and dinner/dip/dessert mixes. It has been one of the stepping stones in my learning more about healthier eating. I wanted to share a bit about one specific product – grapeseed oil – because, before my introduction to Wildtree I had never heard of […]
Baby boy has birthed a number of new food favorites during this pregnancy. Lemonade, whether it be plain, strawberry, or raspberry, is quickly climbing the charts as my number one, but a few family favorite recipes are mixed in as well. Most of them revolve around fruit and I can’t wait for summer fresh versions […]

I love reading about other mama’s diapering systems – Jenny shared about some great new brands I haven’t yet tried! Ok, this is a bit late – but who doesn’t want a little holiday all throughout the year?

I’m back from my unofficial blog-cation … I think :) Either way, I wanted to pop in and share a bit about Jemma’s new aversion – VEGGIES! It’s gotta be a mother’s worst nightmare to have a perfect green bean tossed back at her in disgust, but it’s happening. She’ll gladly eat a bowl of […]
Hope you are all having a fun and safe Halloween! I went out for errands as I’m not a huge fan of Halloween. Not for any particular reason – it’s just not my holiday. Sidenote … I loved Kristin’s post about how Christians react to Halloween. So, while mama was away, Daddy and Jemma Pebbles […]
