I’m not sure if this happens to all new moms, but after I had my first son, I turned into a clean freak. I’m not really concerned about germs or any of that, I actually think that the germs are better for the immune system. Anyway, I am obsessed with having things ‘just so’. It [...]

I just visited a chiropractor for the first time in my life today, and it was glorious. I have been having back pain for most of the second half of my pregnancy, and just recently found that my baby is in posterior position. So, my midwife recommended a chiropractor. I am ever so thankful to [...]

So, tonight my husband and I made the decision to birth at home. We’ve been taking Bradley Method birthing classes, and have wanted a natural birth from the beginning. A hospital has always seemed like the normal and safe place to birth for us. I have been comfortable with the hospital birth for the safety [...]

I had a weird day. Around noon I suddenly started getting flu symptoms, we’ll not go into the details. It was no fun, so I just went to sleep. Now I’m ok, so it must have been a weird food thing or pregnancy side effects. This pregnancy is taking it’s toll on my energy. I’ll [...]

Thought I should share some photos of my beautiful, wonderful, and amazing boy. He is SUCH a unique little person..

Sooo, it’s getting to be way too close to Christmas. I planned on knitting all our gifts for the fam, but it looks like a few are going to be left out of that deal. And maybe that’s a good thing. Do people really want my knitted scarves and hats?? I’m just a beginner, so [...]

Laptops rule. We just got a laptop over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, and I am in love. we got if for our Mama Kate’s business because John and I were fighting over the desktop way too often. Now, I feel like I can stay even more organized with all the stuff I’ve to going on. [...]
