It’s been a big weekend with a lot of changes for our family! Friday morning Darrel announced over breakfast that he was 100% confident that quinoa had proven safe for Zac. Which meant we were ready to move on to the next food trial. Eek! We decided on broccoli, so … Continue reading
When I shared our glorious quinoa pass, I was bombarded with cheery congratulations from tons of people. (Thanks again!) One of those lovely folks, Wendy, shared on my Facebook page that she makes quinoa nuggets for her kids. Her instructions were simple: “Puree cooked quinoa with Real Salt, a little … Continue reading
She woke up bright and early on Sunday morning, a tad annoyed that her 17 month old son had decided the whole family needed to GET UP NOW! Still, it seemed like it would be a good day. They planned to go to church, for starters; something they hadn’t been … Continue reading

In either case, Darrel and I had some intense discussions this weekend and have basically decided…”to hell with baseline” and “screw gut rest”. Baseline has been, thus … 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 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
Happy Halloween! This year, as every year, we’re skipping Trick or Treating. One day, hopefully, my kiddos can participate in that cherished tradition, but for now it just doesn’t make sense. They can’t have any of the candy and we live in the boondocks. So, not never, just not yet. … Continue reading
