The government is encouraging everybody to do at least a little bit of preparation for those “what-if’s.”

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.

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 [...]

Wow, we are in the home stretch of our food challenge. And what a challenge. Hah!
We did have a point this weekend where I had to give in and allow the use of corn tortillas from the store. I had no other grains or beans ready to go, everyone was hungry, and my family is [...]

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 [...]
