Earlier this year I did a few posts with the theme “What’s in your _______?” I could – and may – easily write one of those about what is in our skin cleaning products. The laundry list of chemicals and sometimes potentially dangerous ingredients in a basic facial cleanser is … Continue reading
Oh. My. Word. Y’all. I’m happy dancing in my kitchen right now. Ok, so you know how I shared that awesome recipe for vegan cheese that I’d found? The one made from coconut milk? I love that recipe. Sadly, we had to retire it, thanks to Jed’s Fructose Malabsorption. He … Continue reading
After Jed showed us so clearly that he loves us by trying to feed us, I started thinking about love. “Faith, Hope and Love, but the greatest of these is Love.” Love makes the world go ’round, so says musicians, poets, and the Bible. Love makes all things possible…or at … Continue reading
Yesterday was a busy day, so we didn’t get crackers made until evening. For dinner, Zac got 1/4 c. of cooked quinoa flakes and after that, he got to nibble on crackers before bedtime. I don’t think I can convey the sheer joy and amazement at watching Zac eat last … Continue reading

When we pulled out the cloth diapers again, Jed decided he did not like them. At all. Which seemed a perfect reason to begin potty training, something I’ve been putting off doing. With so much going on in our lives, that just seemed like one thing too much, you know? I … Continue reading
Last night was Taco Tuesday at the Summers house, and out of nowhere, I got the idea to make guacamole. Why I thought Darrel and Jed might like guacamole, I don’t know. So far, the only way avocado has been remotely palatable to either of them is when it is … Continue reading
Last weekend was jammed full. Darrel and I, once again, took part in an Arts & Crafts show to try and make some money. Then Darrel had a photo shoot on Sunday for two high school seniors. And through it all, we’re potty training Jed. The biggest thing that … Continue reading
Today, I’m all about cloth diapers. When Jed was born, I knew I would be taking a year of maternity leave. It seemed stupid to spend so much of our limited funds on diapers, so I decided we were going cloth all the way! And we did. For two years. … Continue reading
