This idyllic picture is not my kid. No, this heartwarming photo of a baby cheerfully looking forward to what his mum serves him looks nothing like the picture of me trying to get food into my baby.
The issue is not, however, that Galen refuses food. In fact, Galen seems to greatly enjoy some things. [...]

I have gotten questions about my freezer cooking for postpartum, and noticed elsewhere that freezer cooking to get ready for baby is a topic of interest.
I’ve written one post where I described how I planned out my meals and how I went about the actual day of cooking. Since then I’ve been asked about the [...]
I’m making some changes on my server to get ready for my new site project (also what’s been keeping me from blogging so much… that and caring for a family!) I’m planning to try and move this blog later on tonight so the blog may be down for a little while. Only the blog will [...]
This month we’ve taken a big step with EC’ing – Galen is going diaper free at night. It has been an interesting experience thus far, and a pretty good one Now that our big kids are dry all night I felt a little more enthusiastic about working with Galen at night.
I began by [...]
I’m behind on things right now. Summer has started and our routine gets a lot more relaxed. We also just had two birthdays (Asher is 6 now and Brennan is 4!!). We’ve been doing a lot of traveling and visiting with friends and neighbors.
This week I’m planning to get Tiger Lily out [...]
Time flies so fast. Galen is 7 months now, and rapidly closing in on 8 months. We’re still using elimination communication and I thought it was time for me to give an update!
I’m really glad we made the choice to EC with Galen. There was a period that was really, really [...]
I do, I do! (Kristen waves her hands in the air desperately…) I find that even when I cook with mostly fresh-from-the-market foods I still have canned goods falling over, rolling around, and being endlessly re-arranged by my little man Brennan.
I use a lot of canned tomato products and I use a lot of canned [...]
Feeding my babies is always such a delight in the early months. After all, the only thing they eat is Mama’s milk But, eventually it’s time for solids.
None of my little ones have seemed too enthused over solid foods at first (you would never guess this from the way my big [...]
Life as a new mother is hectic – really hectic. It seems like there is always so much to do, and no matter how much time you’re at home, you still can’t get everything done. I know I’ve felt like that for much of this first half of Galen’s babyhood. But now [...]
I had an old flannel sheet lying around. And some leftover fabric from making pajamas. I decided to use these to make an attempt at my own trainers for Galen. I really enjoy sewing, and I really want Galen to be comfy and used to wearing pants/undies. So I decided I’d use what I had [...]
