Last Wednesday was my birthday, and I spent it flying home from work and doing another goat milk run once home. Then I passed out at 8:45pm. I know. I’m such a party animal! That day was also the first day of the apricot trial break. Zac has been having … Continue reading
Last Thursday I walked into the health food co-op and saw a gigantic display of Apricots. They had just gotten them in, and told me they should continue to receive them for the next couple of months. Apricots are on my short list of foods to trial next for Zac, … Continue reading
Last week I went to work for two days. The kids, as usual, spent that time at my parent’s house. BOY do I have something to share about THAT couple of days! But that’s for tomorrow. For now, let’s focus on food trials. We took our regular 3 day break from … Continue reading
Saturday, my baby turned two. TWO, Y’ALL! <sniff> I guess he’s not really a baby any more. <sniff sniff> Anyway… Last week I had to work, and while I was gone I left instructions with my Mom to continue putting the garlic oil in his ears. I’d only been gone … Continue reading
Turns out all my angst was for nothing. At least for now. The strawberry trial didn’t happen. Shortly after I shared that post, I gave Zac some fresh strawberries. He refused to even let one touch his lips! It was a straight repeat of the maple syrup trial the night … Continue reading

Thursday we resumed the banana trial for Zac, and it went so well I decided I could go to work over the weekend. I found a trip to work on Saturday that was quick and “easy”, but worth a decent amount of money. I thought I’d share with you how … Continue reading
I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend! Our banana trial is in full swing and going extraordinarily well! Not only is he showing no negative reaction signs whatsoever, but so far there isn’t a possible way to present bananas to Zac that he doesn’t like. He’ll wolf down … Continue reading
Remember when I said that returning to work was messing with my mind? It was almost all I could think about from mid-March until the day I went back. The fear and uncertainty loomed and, I now realize, paralyzed me from doing many things I want to do. One of … Continue reading
(Strangely enough, I miss The Fresh Beat Band on Netflix…) Before I begin today’s post I want to share that I’m home, and my fears about too-soon weaning are fading into the ether. As soon as Zac saw me, he started pulling at my shirt for boobie. He immediately nursed … Continue reading
