It's been a great week. We had another birthday to celebrate. My toddler is now a three-year-old. We had so much fun with his birthday party. And speaking of parties, I realized as we were all singing to him our family is big enough that we make a party all by ourselves without outside help. …

Daylight Savings Time
So I just realized today that we have to put our clocks ahead an hour this weekend. Not a happy time - losing an hour of sleep. Years ago I worried about how it would affect my baby's night time schedule. I came up with this idea, and it has worked well ever since. After nap …
A Toy Box Cover
Today I did a sewing project that has been on my list for a while. That always makes me happy. The reason it was on my list so long is because I had to figure out how exactly I wanted to do it. I wanted to cover the small toy box we keep in our …
I’m Having a Personal Retreat
Recently I downloaded a free book from a blog that I follow. The book is free to subscribers of the blog. I would encourage you to subscribe to The Humbled Homemaker just to get this book, but also I enjoy this blog. She has so much useful information especially for mothers. She writes with a …

On Being a Trim Healthy Mama
Finally we all seem to be well again. Last week was spent preparing for my husband's 50th birthday. We had a great party for him Saturday night. Now my life can hopefully resume it's normal craziness instead of the crazy craziness. I've been getting quite a few questions lately about the Trim Healthy Mama …
Is My Baby Malnourished?
A little over a week ago I ended up in the E.R. of our local hospital because my baby had croup. We're not a family who goes to the doctor for every little sniffle, and I tend to second guess myself when we have to go to Emergency. Well, it looks like I made the …
