The Easiest Recipe in the World

If you can think of an easier recipe, let me know.
I am currently baking a sweet potato. This is how I do it: Preheat oven to 375 degrees, wash potato, rub potato with butter. Stick potato on cookie sheet in oven for 20 min. Remove potato after 20 minutes and poke holes in […]

Music for Kids that Won’t Annoy Adults

In the wee hours of the morning, before I’m even awake, my little one is at her boom box. She is pushing all the buttons — play, stop, pause — and saying, “Dance! Dance!”
Searching for children’s music that won’t grate on my nerves has been a side mission of mine lately. I came across the […]

Breastfeeding: The First Year

Yesterday, I shared a recipe for a delicious stir fry. It’s gone! Mysterious. I’ll resurrect it somehow and post it again soon.

I never thought I’d make it to more than a year of nursing. Now, we’ve been nursing for 14 months.

Since several U.S. agencies confirm how good nursing is for children, I find it hard to believe nursing in public is […]

How Do I Get My Baby or Toddler to Sleep?!

Getting a baby to sleep through the night is one of the biggest subjects new parents talk about. I went nearly a year with no more than 3 hours in a row of sleep. These books helped everyone in my family sleep more, and they also restored my sanity. Enjoy the book reviews!
Good Night, Sleep […]

Rights of Passage

It was odd to be in a place where people think I’m going to hell when I die.
My niece was blessed this past weekend in a Mormon church, and I attended the service.
My first experience with this religion was in high school when the one Mormon boy claimed he had to go to church every […]

Autumn Leaves

So, Sarah at Sarah and the Goon Squad got me thinking about leaves…
And then…
My neighbor shocked me…
I took the Nugget outside to play. She has one of those Little Tykes cars with the yellow roof and orange body, and she’s nuts about it. First, I pushed her all around and then SHE wanted to push […]
