Today is my 27th Birthday. There really is nothing like a birthday to remind you of how blessed you are. People seem to come out of the woodwork to give you a special greeting. It’s been a fairly normal day (Brian’s at work, I’m changing diapers and handling tantrums, etc), but it has been full [...]  Please tell me I’m not the only 20-something who knows this line from Monty Python’s Flying Circus? I still crack up every time I think of that silly skit. A-N-Y-W-A-Y, what I wanted to share with y’all is that not only do we have a small bundle coming in January, we’ve also had some other [...] Parker has something he wants to share with you. He’s been holding back for over 2 months now, and he just can’t keep it in any longer. So, without further ado, here is Parker’s announcement. “I’m going to be a BIG brother!!!!” If all goes [...] Once I saw how effective natural medicine was I began thinking differently about everything in my life. I started caring about chemicals that might interfere or throw my poor body off balance. Make-up, detergent, cleansers, food, cleaning products, etc–all of these things are on, in, or around our bodies constantly. Why wouldn’t I want to [...] Any of my regular readers will know by now that I tend to live a (for the most part) natural lifestyle: in medicine, food, home care, personal care, etc. I’m not sure I’ve ever really told y’all what directed me towards this natural path. It’s been a slow journey for me, but the impetus behind [...] I love my family history. I’m sure most people feel this way, but I think my family’s history is the best. For instance: I’m related to George Washington. I also have a member of the British royal family who was disinherited for loving a common person in my ancestry. I’m related to someone named Reed [...] Life isn’t always beautiful. Sometimes it’s messy and hard. But somehow, in the midst of ugliness, a different sort of beauty emerges. Peace. Rest. Firm conviction. Trust. Sincere friendship. I’m having a very different sort of Thanksgiving this year. For so many reasons. It’s just my little family this year: no parents, no in-laws, no [...] Being that my little munchkin is turning 1 tomorrow, I’ve spent a lot of time reflecting on how much our lives have changed over the last year. This day, in particular, holds a lot of meaning for me. A year ago today, I went into labor. Before having a child I always assumed my birthday [...] I’m getting really familiar with the phrase “wow, he is really big for his age.” Just about anyone who meets my little Parker dude seems to proclaim it. He didn’t start out big, 6 months ago on his Birth Day — just 7 pounds 11 ounces of awesome. He’ s a little bigger now. As [...] Our little guy is officially 6 months this week and we’ve just started him on solid food. Yippee skippee! Before I was a parent I had no idea there were so many little milestones to look forward to. Now I know: from first smile, to first laugh, to first foods–parenthood is one huge [...] |
