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 →

Updates on Pizza and Things

February 3rd, 2012 — Feingold Diet, Food, Recipe

We’re still rocking it Mostly-Stage-1 Feingold around here, and seeing excellent results. Other people who knew my kids pre-Feingold are even commenting on how well-behaved and calm they are. I must admit, this warms a Mama’s heart. Especially because, as with anything, you can convince yourself that you are seeing results even if you aren’t…. 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 →

Pizza Night!

January 13th, 2012 — Feingold Diet, Food, Recipe

After a little more than a week of the Feingold Diet, things are looking good. Some things I’ve noticed: My skin is clear again. Paleo and Feingold have this in common: no artificial crap, and to that I’m attributing this complexion. I’ve gone back to using pure olive oil soap to wash my face and… 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 →

Why Can’t Every Day Be Like Today?

December 5th, 2011 — Family, Food, Homeschool, Kids, Motherhood, The Homestead

Or should I say, why can’t I be like this every day? I was, how do you say….ON IT, today. We successfully got through everything I planned in school. I delegated some stuff to the kids (like switching out loads of laundry), which helped out immensely. They did it, mostly without grumbles. They watched Howl’s… Continue reading →

Fell Off the Wagon

March 7th, 2011 — Breastfeeding, Food

Or “back on the wagon”, depending on your point of view. I’m back on dairy. Again. Basically, as a parent, I’m just doing the best I can, but mostly guessing at a lot of things and hoping for the best. Lots of different things can result from lots of different other things. Check out that… Continue reading →

Flaky McFlakerson

February 16th, 2011 — Breastfeeding, Food, Shenanigans

I think flaky is the appropriate word. Hold on, let me look it up. …… Ok, Answers.com says: 3. Slang. Somewhat eccentric; odd: Well, yeah, that’s me. For sure. But my definition of flaky is someone who constantly changes her mind. Most likely to happen after she has published a work of writing stating one… Continue reading →

You Put What In Your Coffee??

February 8th, 2011 — Breastfeeding, Food, Strange but True

Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a delicious (truly) non-dairy creamer for some much-needed morning coffee? It turns out that powdered ‘non-dairy’ creamer is really just lactose-free. It still contains the milk proteins that make my sweet monkey’s tummy upset. So, no half & half, no cream, no fake creamer… Continue reading →
