So the other day I went into a thrift store near our house, looking for a cowgirl hat for my daughter’s dress up collection. Thrift stores are usually great places to find dress up clothes. Not that day. (I later found a super cute cowgirl/sheriff hat at a local toy store.) However, a quick survey [...]

Why, yes, it has been two months since I last posted here. And now it is Christmas.
We got to meet Santa a week or so ago. What a nice gentleman he is. My Munchkin wrote him a little letter, the back of which you can see in the photo at the top of the post.

This beautiful little girl is the same age as my oldest daughter, and [...]

Here she is, my Bug, less than five minutes old.
Tomorrow she’ll be one. Oh, how quickly this year has gone! She has challenged us, this one. She has stretched us more than we thought we could stretch. Not always gently. She was born strong. She was born awake and stayed that way for the majority [...]

Diaper Cover, Take One

When I was pregnant with my youngest daughter, my husband and I decided that we would use cloth diapers for her. The decision made sense for us. Cloth diapering is good for the baby, the earth, and the wallet. Our family has made a concerted effort to use fewer disposable goods, and we knew from [...]
Eating the rainbow

My daughter told me that we need to eat all the colors of the rainbow. After rummaging in the fridge for a few minutes, I was happy to accommodate. Rainbow: tomatoes, carrots, corn, peas, blueberries and grapes. Sun: cheese. Flowers: blackberries and green beans in a field of brown rice.
The only food left on her [...]

When I started this blog earlier this year, I said that I would be writing about my life as a stay at home mom with two kids. Please consider my absence a description by omission.
A certain Munchkin turned four earlier this week. Her party will be tomorrow, but we spent her actual birthday in an [...]
