On a Lighter Note
These last few posts have been really depressing, but I do have some funny things to share.
Noah has decided that he will only eat coffee yogurt. This would be fine, that’s my favorite flavor too, except that for some reason none of the grocery stores in my area ever have enough. They have between none […]

What is it About Bed?
Noah seems to be going through a bad relationship with his bed. Not only has he been popping out of it on a frequent basis in the evening after bedtime and crying like he’s being tortured when we declare “bedtime” or “naptime,” but he’s perfectly willing to curl up and “sleep” on the couch with […]

It was supposed to get BETTER
Today is such a Monday. It was supposed to be better than the weekend, but not so far.
It is 12:19 pm and I am blogging from home. Why is that?
Because I left my computer here.
Worse?
I came back to pick it up, instead picking up leftovers for lunch and some mail I need to send out. […]

Noah and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Weekend

They wiggled.
It was like being on a boat.
Between the reverb from […]

Rituals
I’ve been thinking a lot about rituals lately, especially as they relate to babies and welcoming them into the family and community.
I’ve always felt that rituals were important. That’s a big part of why Jill and I had a big(ish) wedding that was very traditional in most ways.
When Noah was born, we knew that we […]

Posts I’m Writing In My Head
We’ve been super-busy and I am extra-tired lately, so here are some extremely short versions of the posts I have been writing in my head:
Book Review of Big Green Purse:
This is a great resource on how women’s “power of the purse” can be used to help contribute to a healthier, more sustainable way of life. […]

Buggin’ Out
We have been engaged in an ongoing and icky battle against some kind of teeny little grain-invading bugs.
First, they invaded just one cabinet. We moved things like rice and pasta out. Then we found it in the next cabinet. In a days-home-from-the-grocery-store box of corn bread mix. We moved and dumped stuff and lived with […]
