As a person prone to brooding over everything, good or bad, I take this time of year to reflect on the bygone year and take stock of all the blessings God has given us. Here are a list of the top 10 blessings, some in disguise, my family experienced from the last year: 10) Yoga … Continue reading What a Year!
Holy over diagnosis, Batman! Every newborn has reflux? False. *DISCLAIMER* I speak only from my own experience, I am not attempting to solicit medical advice. Always consult a physician with your concerns regarding your baby's health. As a mom, nothing is more disturbing to see than your newborn projectile spitting up what appears to be … Continue reading Reflux
Bees!!!! We ordered our first bee hive today. We did a ton of research before hand and decided to go with Draper's Super Bee Apiaries, Inc. over Kelley Beekeeping. Really, it came down to need and budget. Kelley has excellent quality products with endless customization options for your hive build. But, Draper's beginners kit included … Continue reading Homestead Project #2
I get now why so many articles suggested spacing your children at least 4 years apart.Two kids in diapers at once is rough. Dinner tonight took me two tries. Do you have any inkling of just how difficult it is to focus on making a decent béchamel sauce with two kids screaming? The baby spat … Continue reading Mom Life: The 2nd Kid

Long story short, I was totally unprepared for her early arrival, save for my hospital bag and her carseat already in the car. It's been an … Continue reading My Early Bird/ Happy Thanksgiving
I did some research on self-sustainability and how much space it takes to garden enough food to feed a family of 4. I happened upon this nifty infographic: This was really helpful and eye-opening as far as bringing to light what exactly our intentions are for our homestead. We have just over 5 acres at … Continue reading Laying the Garden
My little lady is due in 3 weeks. As such, my little man is feeling my anxiety and anticipation of our baby girl's arrival. I have 3 siblings, all of whose births I remember. Each one was surreal as I met a new life that would change mine forever. I know this is a huge … Continue reading Big Brother
When we bought our house we intended a massive remodel...over the next 30 years or so. That said, there were some issues we were forced to tackle sooner than later. The kitchen sink... Ugh. As someone who for dietary restrictions has to make most meals from scratch, I spend about 60% of my life in … Continue reading Home Improvement Project #1
