Thursday, February 11th, 2010I’m quite shocked to learn that I’ve been given an award! I’d love to thank The Crunchy Baby for awarding me the Beautiful Blogger Award! I’m truly honored! One of the rules is I tell you 7 things about myself… 1. I am a classically trained ballerina.2. I love to vacuum. I have a contest [...]
We’ve started up again!
Thursday, February 11th, 2010We’ve restarted our compost bin! I can’t tell you how excited I am to say this. I was really beginning to miss how much fun was. Our failed worm bin has been sitting on our deck since our little adventure. Since it was just sitting there with shredded paper, some carrots, and an apple core, [...]
Our First CDing Water Bill
Wednesday, February 10th, 2010Today was the day we’ve been waiting for! Our very first water bill since LBG has starting living in cloth. I was expecting it to be at least 15 dollars more than our usual one. If it was $75 more, we might reconsider our choice of diapering method. Keep in mind, in the month of [...]
All-Purpose Cleaner- revisited
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010There is a slight side effect to my AP Cleaner recipe. The Dr. Bronner’s Soap curdles. YIK! I’d just shake the bottle well and go on my merry way cleaning what needed to be cleaned. The Father brought up a point I hadn’t considered. What if we aren’t getting the fully benefit of the soap [...]
Meatless Monday
Monday, February 8th, 2010This week Meatless Monday will be happening on a Tuesday. No, I won’t be entitling it Tofu Tuesday. It’s a funny story, really. The Father made some amazing fish and chips yesterday. We don’t really eat fried food, but this is our exception. He used up the rest of the frozen fish freezer which in [...]
One Tomato… Two Tomato…
Sunday, February 7th, 2010I’ve finally finished reading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle! There is a story the author tells about growing and canning her own tomatos for use the rest of the year. I can’t remember the exact number, but she had something like 300+ pounds of tomatoes that summer! This got me thinking about my quest to can my [...]
…and now it’s time for tea
Saturday, February 6th, 2010I’m a bit of a tea junkie! I can’t wait to be able to share my love of tea with LBG! As the good Mississippian I am, I love sweet, iced tea. As the kid and wife of New Englanders and having going to high school in Connecticut, hot tea has a special place in [...]
At what point do you give up?
Friday, February 5th, 2010LBG’s skin has never been the soft and smooth baby skin everyone dreams about. He was born with what he referred to as “Newborn Rash” which led into baby acne, and now most recently he’s developed eczema. I’m actually afraid he will have skin issues his entire life! We brought his issues up with our [...]
Food for Thought
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010If you are what you eat and you have pork chops for dinner, does that make you a pig? Or if you have chicken boobs? Are you a big fat chicken? And if you add to that logic, are vegetarians vegetables? Think about it.
Forgive Us, Mother Earth
Monday, February 1st, 2010For we have sinned. There is this thing that sometimes happens after having a baby and it can’t be helped or avoided. It’s called “Hair Loss.” I honestly thought I’d escaped that we after effect with my locks intact. But, no. Two weeks ago, my hair started thinning. At first it was just a little [...]
