Photo via DrMomma.org Like most moms, I spent my pregnancies daydreaming about what my babies would be like. What would they look like? What would they be good at? Would they love to read, or sing, or dance? I imagined sweet, sleepy little infants who spent hours snuggling and cooing. What I didn’t spend time daydreaming about was reflux. I didn’t imagine myself sobbing in the furthest corner of the house holding a baby who had been screaming for hours {Read More}
It’s funny to me that as I walk farther and farther down the path of natural living the more and more “Well, duh!” moments I seem to have. There are so many things I now make from scratch that never would’ve occurred to me to make a few years ago. I used to just buy things. Not only just out of convenience, but because I didn’t realize it was possible to make them myself. Like deodorant, make-up, lotion bars and {Read More}
5 plus years ago, when I was pregnant with my second son I decided I was interested in cloth diapering. I spent hours and hours (and hours and hours) researching cloth.

Today I’m feeling nostalgic. Yesterday was my third son’s third birthday. 3 years ago, he entered the world after a stressful and scary labor. It turns out just like that labor, he is nothing like what I had expected or imagined. He’s way more amazing! Right before I realized I was pregnant with Truman, my husband was told he would be deploying. (If you don’t know, I’m married to a Naval Aviator.) It was crushing news. He’d been {Read More}
