The Winter-Baby-Lazy Chubs

February 8th, 2012 — Changes, Food

So, officially, my baby is not so much a baby as a toddler. Closing in on 18 months, I’ve now been through 2 winters and plenty of warm months since her birth. What I’m saying, is that I really have no excuse for this ever-accumulating chub that seems to be happening. After the relatively easy… Continue reading →

Eli: Before, During, & Slightly After

January 15th, 2012 — Changes, Feingold Diet, Food, Picture-Heavy

I promised more info on Eli and I’d like to get this down before I forget. I do hope to forget some of this, you know, eventually. I hope the bad behavior will become such a distant memory that when I read these old posts, I’ll feel sure I was writing hypothetically or about someone… Continue reading →

Feingold Diet, ADHD and Door Holes.

January 11th, 2012 — Changes, Feingold Diet, Food, Kids

I have now opened and closed this window about 13 times – finally, I have given in and I’m just going to write a stupid post already. I can’t promise that it will be good. It may be annoying and stupid, because there are many things going through my head right now. Instead of letting… Continue reading →

Butterflies & Bubbles

May 27th, 2011 — Beliefs, Changes, Friendship

Knowing the effect that even the tiniest change can have (see: the butterfly effect), we can extrapolate that big changes are likely to have huge, far-reaching consequences. Especially when these changes come all together at the same time. (Note: I’m not talking about hurricane-proportion consequences, more like Tropical Storm Malarkey.) For example: I have recently… Continue reading →

Score. A Direct Hit.

May 20th, 2011 — Changes, Family, Stay-At-Home

(Name that movie. Floppy disks are pretty expensive…) After working toward the sometimes daunting goal – of being my own boss, working at home, full time – for something like 3 years, I’m now only 3 weeks away. Ahem, I don’t think you read that right. THREE WEEKS. In three weeks, I’ll be a free… Continue reading →

I Gave Up Dairy For My Baby

February 3rd, 2011 — Breastfeeding, Changes, Food

Yep, you heard correctly. She who frequently lusts after lasagna, drinks milk with every meal, and has been known to eat a Dove Chocolate (or 50) from time to time has officially gone Moo-Free. And all for that (not-so-tiny) babe I kind of adore. I’m still nursing Fi, and it’s going swimmingly for the most… Continue reading →

Push Push Push

January 3rd, 2011 — Changes, Family, Husband, Motherhood

You know how kids are constantly testing their boundaries and all rules, always? Doggedly pushing pushing pushing until you think you’re head is going to explode or maybe you’ll punch them? I’m pretty sure I’ve been doing that exact thing for the entire first 5 years of my marriage. Sorry, honey. It wasn’t intentional. As… Continue reading →

No More Facebook Privacy Concerns

May 19th, 2010 — Changes

Why? Because I bit the bullet and deleted my account. After increasing security and privacy concerns surrounding the social networking site, I decided to let this particular vice go. And it was a vice. In fact, right now, shortly after deleting my account, I feel a little hollow inside (dramatic much?). It was such an… Continue reading →
