Our Garden
Planting our garden with Mema. Playing in her sensory box when the gardening got a bit boring. I think this face is saying “bon appetite!” We have (from left to right): onions, spinach, red chard, peas, cabbage more onion, romain lettuce, spring mix, peppers, watermelon more onion, tomatoes (planted later than this photo), more … Read more
Green Smoothie Challenge Update
So I’ve gotten really bad at updating about this challenge. I’ve also gotten really bad about keeping track of the recipes I do. I’ve tried taking pictures of the smoothies before I blend them to help me write down the recipes, but the problem with that is that I sometimes add more fruit based on … Read more
Knitted Wool Longies
As I’ve mentioned, I love wool diaper covers. By the way, there’s still just over a week left enter the giveaway for a wool soaker from Zinny Jane. There’s not a ton of entries yet and it’s super easy to enter! So when Twig was born, I decided to knit her some wool longies. It … Read more
Daddy Babywearing
I love this picture so much that it makes me want to cry.
Green Smoothie Challenge-Week 1
Things are going smoothly (ha!) so far in our green smoothie challenge. It’s actually been interesting on days where I know we’re leaving the house first thing. I thought it would be a huge rush and so difficult, but I’m getting pretty fast at preparing the fruits and veggies and it really doesn’t take me … Read more
Our Family Bath
There’s a lot of talk of the family bed, but not much of the family bath. Honestly, I didn’t even realize that it was at all uncommon to bathe with my children until I read this post on Natural Parents Network. I didn’t take Peanut in the bath until she was a few months old. … Read more
30 Day Green Smoothie Challenge
Around here, we love green smoothies. I drank them pretty religiously when I was in my first trimester because of the folic acid in leafy greens. I also used them as a way to get raw placenta into my system after the birth (don’t worry, you can’t taste or feel the placenta in them!). I … Read more
Zinny Jane Wool Soaker Review and Giveaway! Ending 4.29 Worldwide!
We had A LOT of problems with Peanut and diaper rash. She spent so much of her first two years with actual open sores on her bum that I’m surprised that she doesn’t have scars. We did everything we were supposed to do to both prevent and get rid of rash. Plenty of airing-out time, … Read more
I’m a Natural Parent, but…
I’m slightly out of touch in the blogosphere (What?! Having a baby is distracting? Since when?). I do try to keep up with a few of my favorite blogs though, and one of them is definitely Hobo Mama. Which means that while I was unawares of this awesome blog carnival before it was actually posted, … Read more
Elimination Communication
Today’s guest post is from Tophat at the bee in your bonnet. Heather is one of the few bloggers I’ve had the pleasure to meet in person and she’s just lovely. Sadly, she moved shortly after we met to a place much warmer and nicer. I’ve loved reading her blog since Peanut was very young and … Read more
