I’ve decided since I’m going to be working intensively on our nutrition that I’ll join the Menu Plan Monday brigade :D Deciding this late I’m just barely going to make it on Monday
I’ve decided to try serving multiple-course suppers this week, in the hopes of actually filling my family of bottomless pits up. [...]

Prepping for a 30-day food challenge
January 2, 2009 – 4:40 pm
I hope you enjoyed a good holiday season! Ours was nice - plenty of time to enjoy the kids, and plenty of time to be overwhelmed with presents! Aside from my sewing machine I think my favorite gift is Julia Child’s Mastering The Art of French Cooking, which I requested and received from [...]
Family Rhythm and Atmosphere
December 18, 2008 – 11:34 pm
I recently posted an article on setting up a routine and schedule for your baby - and I’ve written how you can bring a schedule to your family’s days. There’s more to a nourishing family life than just a strict schedule, however. Having your schedule to be an actual rhythm that flows through the day [...]

I’ve mentioned that I did a big cooking session to fill the freezer so there would be plenty of meals for postpartum. I thought I’d write a post on how I went about my “once a month cooking” adventure :p

August 15, 2008 – 8:33 am
These are two feelings that mothers feel a whole lot. And there’s not much anybody can say to take them away.
I wish that I could say that I’ve come to a place in my mothering where I’m not effected by feelings of failure but I can’t. In fact, right now I’m dealing with [...]
The Art of Moving On
July 18, 2008 – 3:58 pm
I have an intense dislike of getting to the end of a given week and feeling as if I have gotten “nothing done.” I look at my planner and my lists and feel like nothing has been crossed off and nothing has been accomplished.
I sit and wonder why all this stuff [...]
