As a mommy, it is very easy, very tempting to look back at previous seasons of life and sort of long for those days. I don’t know why I do it. I am surrounded by the preciousness of my young children. Absolutely surrounded. (Literally, all the time) Yet I am often blind to all that […] Read more…
I am officially a Whole30 convert…and quite possibly the most unexpected convert to ever join the Paleo / Whole30 community. I fought it for so long. And I fought it hard. It’s like I wanted to be so justifiably miserable that I could return to the “fun” way of eating sans conviction. But alas, here […] Read more…
My four-year-old son said something the other day that really shook me up. Really shook me up. It wasn’t anything that you’re probably expecting. Like, “I want to be a killer clown for Halloween.” Or, “Mom! I pierced the baby’s ears. But I missed and did her cheeks instead.” Or, “What does the word *insert […] Read more…
This recipe is one giant leap for mankind. I thought it couldn’t be done. Whole30 brownies? But it can. And I’m going to share all about it with you. 🙂 I’m on my second round of the Whole30 diet…so I guess that puts me somewhere around day 48 of this 30-day food “experience.” And to […] Read more…

Here’s my latest homeschooling mountain I must tackle: What in the world do I do with my semi-interested-in-homeschooling 2-year-old while my 4-year-old works on his lesson? I want Mark (the little one) to be a part of mine and Rudy’s school time as much as possible, but I also need for him to be occupied! […] Read more…
Here’s a little test: On the next line, I want you to do exactly what I say. Do NOT think of a cheeseburger. Oops. You thought of a cheeseburger, didn’t you? You failed the test. 🙂 Sometimes, when we try so hard to not think of something or be like something or look like […] Read more…
I used to think that spit-up was yucky…but then I started having babies and now proudly display spit-up on my sleeve every second of my life. I used to think that cloth diapering was gross…but then I saw how much we were spending on disposables and almost had a heart attack. I used to think […] Read more…
I cannot believe that these these words are about to come out of my mouth… …or out of my fingertips and into the computer… I am subjecting myself to the Whole30 Diet…again. 🙂 Oh delicious cereal…where art thou?
