Saturday, December 26th, 2009OK, first I’ll tell you about Christmas… then you get to hear about today! Christmas Eve, LBG didn’t want to go to sleep. Too bad he isn’t old enough to understand that Santa Claus can’t come if he isn’t asleep. We fought for 2 hours *sigh* until he finally decided it was ok to sleep. [...]
We Wish You a Merry Christmas!
Thursday, December 24th, 2009Merry Christmas Eve, boys and girls! Today we are traveling an hour and a hour and a 1/2 away to visit my friend and her family. They invited us over for Christmas Ever dinner! We don’t have any family nearby so this is the next best thing! We are all super excited. I live by [...]
Give Me a C! Give Me an S! Give Me an A!!!
Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009Every year I suggest The Father and I give ourselves a joint Christmas gift. I suggest a new TV, silverware, even suggested a vacation once. Without fail, he always shoots down my ideas and never offers any suggestions. This year I was determined to find something he might actually agree to. About a week ago, [...]
You call that clean?!
Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009How can you call your counter top clean if you just sprayed chemicals all over it? Or the kitchen floor for that matter? I’ll be the first to admit, I spent a good 3 or 4 years addicted to Clorox wipes, bottles of bleach, and cans of Lysol. Even better, I’d eliminated paper towels and [...]
To Chug or to Sip- this is the question
Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009Recently, a friend planted an a new idea in my head. She is planning to skip sippy cups all together and go straight for the straw! She said her reasoning was to avoid a second weaning. Wouldn’t it be easier to head straight for the straw rather than go from bottle to sippy cup, to [...]
Let’s chat about MamaCloth!
Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009On a daily basis, I go back and forth as to whether we should try cloth diapers. Most days, I tell myself, YES! Let’s do it. Then reality hits. We formula-feed which makes for some heinously stinky poops. We take those dirty diapers outside to the trash bin where they will sit until the garbage [...]
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree
Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009This year, our poor Christmas tree was the topic of a large debate. We have a fake one. It gets used year after year, isn’t exactly a fire hazard, and no water to ruin our floors… sounds like a great deal to me! The decor, on the other hand, brought about this great debate. In [...]
A Grating We Will Go…
Monday, December 21st, 2009OK, go ahead and laugh. I love, love, love doing laundry! I could sort, wash, and dry all day long. Folding, on the other hand, not so much. A few weeks ago, I decided I’d had enough of my current laundry detergents. They don’t have labels with the ingredients and I’m sure they are laced [...]
A Voyage into the Green
Monday, December 21st, 2009The story is simple. I want… no wait, NEED to make changes in my life. I need to learn how live in a more environmentally friendly way. Why? You ask. Again, a simple answer. A sweet little boy is now a huge part of my life and he needs a cleaner world in which to [...]
