After despairing that my daughter wouldn’t learn to use the potty until she was at least 4, I calmed down and have been excited to see how a more relaxed attitude, clear communication and lots of opportunities are getting her onto the potty much more than before. I’ve taken a more directive approach to her …
At least, that’s my assessment of my own values after a recent nighttime incident. Baby had fallen asleep at 9ish. It had been a long, late week and I was completely wiped. After mad computer work for a few hours, I finally crashed a bit before midnight. When I woke, I wasn’t sure where I …
’tis the season for blending up yummy drinks at home. We had this for breakfast the other day and baby and I devoured it! Husband isn’t as much of a fan of nutty drinks. Oh well, more for us! Frozen bananas Yogurt (the thick kind!) Ripe avocado Hemp Almond milk Coconut milk Peanut butter Yum! …

It’s been a bit of a wild week emotionally speaking. I’ve been full of adrenalin, barely sleeping, running on fumes, not hungry, and constantly full of nervous energy. What’s up, you ask? I’ve fallen in love. With a condo. Fortunately, so has my husband. We have been looking to get out of our house and …
New things happening here as our girl approaches 2! We’ve been doing lots more diaper-free time. She now sometimes alerts us and gets to the potty on time. Yay! And sometimes, she’ll stand and pee on the floor right beside the potty. I am trying to focus on being encouraged that she is making the …
Today I really appreciate my family. My parents who are supportive, encouraging, and love to be with us. My sister and her family, who are sweet and fun and good people. My brothers, whom I simply love very much and who are amazing people. My husband, who is loving and sweet and kind and always …
