…and He’s got the whooooooole thing in His hands.
Several months ago, extremely pregnant with Evie and feeling completely exhausted, lost, and swallowed up in this great big world, I really thought I knew what I needed.
I wanted peace. I wanted happiness. I wanted love. I wanted someone to come do my laundry. I wanted to [...]

Did you notice that Cheeky Maiden got a brand new website!? This one is better than the last one that we tried…. in that, it works. Hehe.
And we lowered our prices on just about everything AND we have a CLEARANCE section right now!

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.

{snort}
I snort because I personally do not like when other bloggers do weekend reading posts.

Sometimes it’s good to stay home with the chocolate. And sometimes it’s good to run. Literally.
It was one of those days today. I could have sworn it was Tuesday, but I found out later it was actually Thursday.
You know those days when you are certain that you are quite possibly the worst mother on the [...]

It doesn’t get much crunchier than me when it comes to babies. I birth them in my living room for crying out loud.
I have very strong and stubbornly rooted opinions on e v e r y t h i n g related to the nurturing of my young. I have Mamma Bear syndrome to the [...]

Sleep is not something that goes on a lot in this house for anyone under the age of 2 or over the age of 25 apparently. Brent and I sort of take turns being completely exhausted and last night was my turn. As an aside, can I mention that I think that an excellent addition [...]
