Bizzy Babee Wrap {A Review & Giveaway}

March 8, 2013

I used to host the Breastfeeding Blog Hop and every Thursday was my night to sit down and dish about the ups and downs of nursing. I handed the reigns over to the lovely ladies at Sisters n’ Cloth and Life of Wife, Mummy, and Nurse this past summer but I still get a hefty [...]

Goodbye Gluten

February 27, 2013

I have been dragging my feet on making dietary changes for the boys since we first got our autism diagnosis just over 2 years ago. (Sidebar: has it only been 2 years? It feels like it’s been forever!) For every study or anecdote that says a gluten-free casein-free diet makes a difference, there is an [...]

February 26, 2013

We have finally settled into a routine after all of the winter holidays and the ever present sickness that was running through our house, making it difficult to get through a week without someone staying home form school.

A Good American {A BlogHer Book Club Review}

February 21, 2013

Like many moms, I don’t get nearly enough time to read, and when I do it’s always something pretty mundane and I just hurry to get through it. (Does reading about developmental disabilities count as reading for fun? No? I didn’t think so!) When I read the back cover of A Good American by Alex [...]

Valentine’s Giveaway! {Pear Tree Greetings Review}

With the seasonal sickness upon us all, I have been using my time at home to get a few extra things done before I’m in a time crunch. Like packaging up the Valentines for the boys classrooms- that would be 4 different classrooms if you are keeping track! This is usually reserved for February 13th [...]

The Art of Polite Correspondence {A Review}

January 26, 2013

I have so many things against me when it comes to this: – I have terrible penmanship (And it’s not like I don’t try, I just have issues with my hands that make it difficult to write.) – I procrastinate. A lot. To the point of forgetting. I am addressing this with making lists, and [...]

Part-Time Blogging, Pinterest, and Pink Eye

January 21, 2013

Over the past few months I’ve started blogging less. When I get the bug to write, I do it over at Minnesota Mom, and everything else ends up here. Up until this fall, I had my laptop on the dining room table at all times. I could sit down and write whenever the mood struck [...]

47 Super Bowl Appetizers

January 7, 2013

If there was ever an event made for food, it would be the Super Bowl. We don’t throw a Super Bowl party here but we do like to have a special Super Bowl meal that takes into consideration where the Super Bowl is being played and where the two teams hail from and try and [...]

Post-Christmas Haze

December 26, 2012

For all the build-up, Christmas sure does go fast once you actually get there! Last Saturday we were at my Dad’s to celebrate and we had a good time. We went sledding with the boys (two of the three as Wyatt was down and out with a fever on the couch), ate some good food [...]

Lock Down?

December 18, 2012

I’m pretty annoyed right now that as a blogger, I (and this is a general “I”) am being tsk-tsk’d by fellow bloggers for daring to write about the tragedy that happened in Newtown. (Most of them say it’s really terrible that people are trying to capitalize on this tragedy and giving media attention to it. [...]
