This post is intentionally not titled “Halloween”. I have decided that I don’t like Halloween.  In the past, I have enjoyed pumpkin patch pictures, carving jack-o-lanterns, pumpkin seeds, making fall treats, dressing up and trick or treating!  All of the above! This time around, though, all I’ve done is stress about candy, HFCS, dyes, gluten, soy, and how to keep… Read More

Blog It Out.

Blog It Out.

May 6, 2012

I’ve been blowing up on Twitter, and several people have made the suggestion to “blog it out.”  I think it’s time. I am not having a good go of it.  Nothing has gone well for a long time now, and it’s getting overwhelming.  I am twelve weeks pregnant with a 3 year old, a 1 year old, and an international… Read More

Ruby and I have been breastfeeding.  Exclusively.  For nearly two weeks. I don’t know what changed.  I don’t know why it happened…. Read More

At Peace.

At Peace.

September 19, 2011

It’s been two weeks since our journey to Albany. Ruby’s tongue has healed beautifully. There is no evidence of any tie. We continue to pull/stretch her tongue several times a day to be sure that there will be no readhesion. She appears quite pleased with her re-found tongue mobility; especially when eating solid foods. And yet… once again, my sweet… Read More

Crawling.

September 16, 2011

Ruby crawls.  Sort of. See, people ask me all the time if Ruby is crawling yet, and I have to respond, “Well… sort of.”  This is what I mean.  Not exactly crawling, but very effective none the less!
