Sleepies, Sickness, Bedwetting, Birthday, and Anniversary…general update

The past week has been spent in somewhat of a fog; more of a fog than the few weeks before that.  It really seems like 2009 has just been a blur and a fog.
I’m still amazed at the fact that we’re sitting at the end of February.  Wasn’t all the holiday hype just yesterday – [...]

Ending our 30 day Food Challenge

Our food challenge is done!  I’m actually really pleased – it was a great learning experience for me.  The health effects for everyone were very nice and the challenge was definitely worth it.

One Year Ago

“We have a secret in our culture, it’s not that birth is painful, but that women are strong.” (Laura S. Harm)

Traditional Food Challenge – Day 22 Update

Wow, we are in the home stretch of our food challenge.  And what a challenge.  Hah!

Still Working on Sides – Menu Plan Monday

Sleep deprivation started to get to me last week since we’re facing night-wakings x4 kids right now and it’s hard.  Hopefully we are going to get through the night wetting issues over the next few months and we’ll all be sleeping better.  Until then I need to remember that what doesn’t kill me makes me [...]
