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 [...]
Galen’s Birth Announcement
December 17, 2008 – 1:38 pm
I finally got birth announcements in the mail so I thought I’d share with you! I was really pleased with the way it came out - very worth the hundreds of pictures it took to get a good pose from all the kids!
Our announcement was done by Belly Bean Designs and I highly recommend [...]
EC’ing Galen - Seven Weeks
December 16, 2008 – 10:32 pm
EC’ing Galen from birth has been a nice adventure for us. We’ve planned to EC (use elimination communication) since my pregnancy - and I EC’d with Cassidy from 6 months and with Brennan from 1 week. So it wasn’t completely new to me. I still intended to take it easy and not worry about it [...]

Split Pants!

We are planning to use elimination communication with the baby. I EC’d with two of the big kids - Cassidy starting at 6 months and Brennan starting around a week old. I didn’t with Asher and really regret it!!!! (read more about elimination communication, and Brennan’s EC journal).
So anyways, I had an [...]
