Friday, February 26th, 2010As we promised, LBG will get to being eating purees soon! He turns 5 months old on March 17th and we will celebrate by eating avacado! I should mention that I’m not a guac. fan but I’m hoping he will like. Oh yeah, The Father isn’t a fan either. Being first time parent’s we’ve decided [...]
3-in-1
Thursday, February 25th, 2010No, not a printer/scanner/copier. The Grandfather and The Grandmother gave LBG one of the coolest gifts I’ve ever seen! I can’t wait to have it finished and LBG grow a bit more so he can have hours of fun with it. Now imagine a highchair that is also a rocking horse, and on top of [...]
Exploring the Fabric Store!
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010Today I met up with a fellow mommy friend and her wee tot, who has the most contagious smile ever, (check out their blog!) and we went frolicing in the fabric store! We had a great game plan- buy fleece for making those blankets where you cut little strips in the fabric and tie two [...]
Here’s the Skinny!
Friday, February 19th, 2010Yesterday I took LBG to a new doctor. Mommy instincts told me that if I’m dreading taking him to the pediatrician again, it probably isn’t a good sign. Luckily for me, a friend *check out her blog!* recommended a family doctor for us to try. Sure, it’s an hour and 15 minutes away, but we [...]
4 Months!
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010LBG is 4 months old today!The grown-ups were right, kids grow up waaaaaaay too fast! I can’t believe that 1/3 of his first year has come to a close. If anyone knows a way to keep him from growing up so fast, I’m all ears! We could celebrate by cooking up some pureed peas for [...]
A really sad fact-
Monday, February 15th, 2010One day way to soon, LBG is going to grow up and go to school. I know for a fact that I will be spending plenty-a-mornings packing his lunch for him. It’s also a sad fact that I’ve already picked out his lunch box! I came across To-Go Ware‘s lunch carriers one day and have [...]
Meatless Monday
Monday, February 15th, 2010Tonight we were in a bit of a pinch. We didn’t have any veggies other than a head of garlic, we’d eaten pasta last night, and I was out of eggs which meant no waffles. I rummaged around in the back of the pantry and found a canister of Arborio rice– Risotto, it was! Our [...]
Composting and Gardening, part 3
Sunday, February 14th, 2010I live in what’s known as “Middle Tennessee.” I also live in the land of clay rather than soil. Starting a new garden is a big of a challenge, but it can be done… and this is how I did it! The first thing you need to do is get a soil ph test. If [...]
Composting and Gardening, part 2
Friday, February 12th, 2010As promised, here is my “two bin” composting process and how to harvest it. When my very first bin filled up, I was uncertain as to what I should do next. I knew three things: it needed to “cook” a bit longer before I could use it, there wasn’t any room to add anything new, [...]
Composting and Gardening, part 1
Friday, February 12th, 2010I just posted about starting a new compost bin. I was asked a few questions about how it’s done so here’s a post all about composting my way. This will be a series of a few posts for fear that I might write an epic tale! There are two very important aspects of composting: greens [...]
