Baby-led Weaning Wednesdays: Meat and Potatoes
As I gear up to go back to school mid-January I’ve been trying to find meals that I can prepare before I leave (evening classes) and hubby can have ready when I get home. In such an experiment I tried my very first crock pot roast—quite a feat that I’ve gotten to the ripe age … Read more
Baby-led Weaning Wednesdays: Quick Snacks
I’m sure that many moms have the dilemma of trying to find quick, easy, and healthy things to feed their kiddos.

Rachel
I met her when she was 13. Even with over four years age difference, we were instant friends—I’m not the type of person who makes friends easily. She was hired as a bus girl at Royal Jade, the restaurant I worked at during my senior year of high school. I “took her under my wing” … Read more
Review: SKOY Cloths
I tend to get behind on my Google Reader—very, very behind. So in my catching up, I was reading some pretty old posts from Crunch Domestic Goddess when I stumbled upon the Ditch the Disposables Challenge. The entire time I was reading it I was thinking “Yes!
