Before my impromptu craft fair hiatus, I left our regularly scheduled posting with a cliff-hanger: Zac had an ear infection last week that required another round of Rocephin shots. Obviously, this is not great news; at the same time, though, I admit to being a little excited. After our last … Continue reading
Well, our big debut at the Apple Festival is over and done with, and I plan to put my energy back here again. Oh, and into my Etsy shop, too. Thank y’all for sticking around and being patient with me last week during our frantic rush to get everything ready … Continue reading
Thank you, everyone, for your wonderful words of comfort yesterday. My Mommy guilt decided to listen to your wisdom and chill out. So. You know how you take your car to the mechanic and it stops making “that noise”? Yeah. Kids do that, too. At the doctor yesterday, Zac had … Continue reading
Today we are supposed to be in Atlanta, having follow up appointments with our GI and Allergist. We are not in Atlanta. We cancelled the appointments. It was REALLY hard to make this decision. Darrel and I spend our lives trying to make sure our kiddos have the very best … Continue reading

Jed constantly digs through the pantry. He likes to stack and sort things, and pantry food is perfect for that. Today’s recipe comes from one of his pantry discoveries, and the subsequent nagging about two items we haven’t used before: canned pumpkin, and hemp hearts. I always stock up on … Continue reading
The “looks” have started. I suppose it was going to happen eventually; in fact, we’re probably lucky it has taken this long to start. Zac is pretty small for his age, so most people probably just assume he’s younger than almost 16 months old. But the “looks” have started, nonetheless. What … Continue reading
Last month I wrote my One Year Anniversary post. At the time, I wanted to share my most frequently read posts with you…but in all the August work/FPIES madness never could find the time. Recently I’ve had an incredible increase in readership, so I thought I’d help my new readers … Continue reading
