Star Worthy V.1

Every week I read oodles of articles and blog posts through my iPhone’s Mobile RSS (best Google Reader app EVA). Many get starred in my Google Reader so I can reference them later or leave a comment when I’m at the computer. Here’s what I found “star worthy” this week … enjoy! A real women’s […]

Links to Love

I’m been alerted that I’ve been less than present in ol’ blog land. And it’s true. No particular reason, other than the fact that I sometimes opt to sleep and do dishes instead of blogging. True story. I still manage to read quite a bit and wanted to share some of my favorites posts as […]

Links to Love

We aren’t even discussing night weaning yet, but when we do, I’m all over this book! A news break in research linking autism and vaccines. It’s important to remember there is alot of money being exchanged in the world of vaccine production and advertisement. I hate to be blunt, but do your research before you […]

These are a few of our favorite things …

Sing with us now! Ok. Maybe not. But, anyways … these are a few of our favorite things of Jem’s first 6 months. I thought about waiting til her birthday to share our favorite things, but golly, babies change so darn fast and I’m sure what we love now will be old news by the […]

Calling all gardeners!

via Spring is peaking out of somewhere here in the Northwest. It’s got me thinking about starting a little herb garden. But, I need some help! We don’t have a backyard so I need something portable. Advice? I really want basil to make my own pesto. What would your other herb faves be? Is there anything tricky […]

This Week’s Wisdom

Here is a smidgen of great links and articles I’ve read in the last week. The internet is such an arsenal of wisdom. I love learning from other moms! This project has me itching for Valentine’s Day! Since I’ve been sewing more, I plan to whip up some of these sweet cards next year. Even […]

Jemma the Inchworm and Recent Reads

Jem is living up her tummy time right now. She is starting to do this silly inchworm thing where she buries her head into the ground and sticks her booty in the air, then wiggles like crazy in an attempt to scoot around. We are so far from having a baby proof house. Slow down […]

Free is Fabulous

Cotton Babies had their grand opening this weekend. Why is this big news? Well, the grand opening of a natural product and cloth diapering store is always big in our world! Plus, the first 100 visitors got a FREE 4.0 Bum Genius diaper. Here’s the picture story of our Cotton Babies’ adventure … The store […]

Between naps, laundry and everything else

I don’t write as much as I used to in my blog posts, now I post pictures and links. Life of a mama who types 1-handed, I guess :) What I can do is read. I read during Jemma’s naps as she is cuddled in my arms and soak up the wisdom of other mothers. […]

Putting Tears in Perspective

In our society, children, even babies, are viewed with suspicion. Rather than trusting that their cries signal a need, we are told that they are manipulating us. Liefloff continues, saying that “Babies have, indeed, become a sort of enemy to be vanquished by the mother. Crying must be ignored so as to show the baby […]

Article Log

This is more for me than anyone. Posting articles I hope to re-read in the future are best organized here. I’m so thankful for organizational tools like blogs. Three cheers for the 21st century. My birth story is almost ready to post. I know, quite a long time coming. But, anyways, as I journaled my […]
