Allow me to be self indulgent for a moment while I make a desperate attempt at pumping myself up for the day. I figure other tired mammas might need to hear it too!
Brent and I are learning about hard work, ya’ll. I thought that I knew a definition of “exhausted” but I’m finding out I [...]
This is part of a series. Go here to read part One.
I have to give a disclaimer at this point: I don’t know how effective natural remedies are going to be when paired with a junk food diet and whatnot. I think that a lifestyle overhaul might be necessary for some people.
For instance, part of [...]
This is the second part in a series. Go here for part one.
It really helps having a husband whose job is to be well informed about natural health products. But before that, as the Mamma of this house, it was my job. When I was pregnant with Arwen we both decided that I would learn [...]
You like that? Thought I’d keep it relevant and steal the name of that popular tv show. I don’t watch it. Is it popular?
Anyway…

I’d love hearing how you started on the healthy journey. I buy what I can organic, but I’m wondering how you manage to do so much from scratch with everything else you do. I have quite a few days with toddlers where I forget to thaw things, etc…and then throw something (not so healthy) [...]

You can go to his blog to read all about it. We’ve done all of our children this way, and even used the technique to potty train [...]

This morning a man called and said he was with FedEx and couldn’t find our house. We weren’t expecting any packages, so I skeptically asked enough questions for him to validate that he indeed had one for us. Moments after I gave directions there was a knock at the door. Brent brought the package in [...]
Ya’ll.
Do you ever wonder what happens to your kids while they are in the skillful hands of your husband and you are totally out of earshot?
Brent blogged his experience teaching the kids money matters today and you do not want to miss it. I laughed, I cried, I beamed with pride. So go on, check [...]
