I Kissed Grocers Goodbye
Not doing weekly deliveries for 3+ years (which provided us a wonderful plethora of ease of access for wonderful wholesome foods), and not growing as much ourselves, we have changed some things about how we peruse food. Let’s face it: We got lazy. For the last couple of years, I’ve tried hard to make a…

I Joined The CDC
I’ve officially made it to a new level of natural: We’ve joined the CDC: cloth diaper club. I’ve tried cloth diapers with every single one of my babies. For about a minute each. I had the best ones (thanks to hand-me-downs!) – I had no reason to not do it other than lack of motivation. The…

Our Rainbow
Two and a half years ago I remember seeing Scott laying on a bed hooked to machines keeping him alive. His arms were covered in sores & scars from needles; his whole body swollen beyond recognition. His stats were unstable, at best. We really weren’t sure of the future. I worked hard to avoid thinking beyond…

The Roy Family
Once upon a time I had this friend. She had hemorrhoids. Yeah. She’s gross. Okay, okay, let’s get real, folks. The majority of American’s suffer (usually in silence – and with OTC temporary-relief products) from internal and/or external hemorrhoids. We live in a society that lives on their hineys, eats garbage, and frankly, doesn’t take care…

Baby Blessings
This pregnancy has been so different than others. It just continues to remind me why I laugh – and find it hard to believe when other Mom’s say things about how they do pregnancy/birth, as if it’s the same every time. Well, not for this gal! Two of our babies were born “on time,” two…
