Motherhood Ramblings

Today I cried

Actually it wasn’t today but it was recent. I’ve written about my struggles with trying to stay healthy and losing the baby weight and doing what’s best both for myself and for Annabelle. Like so many moms I’ve been trying to do it all, and then I lost it. Recently I’ve had conversations with other […]

What to do about milk? Again.

Milk seems to be a real issue for me. Whether it’s raw cows milk, goat milk or breast milk, it seems like it’s never more than a few days before I’m back onto the subject of milk. Annabelle is nearing her first birthday and I’m trying to decide what to do about my milk. The […]

Developmental Windows of Opportunity

Did you know that when babies are born their little brains haven’t yet been hardwired? The hard wiring happens at different times for different stages of development. For example, if you’ve read my post on why Annabelle didn’t watch TV until she was 2 you would know that that’s when a baby’s vision develops and […]

Croupy Croup

I’ve been meaning to write but it’s been a crazy few weeks. So if you’re one of the people who have been calling, emailing or face booking me and I haven’t responded I apologize but life happens and I haven’t had time for anyone but Annabelle. Today is day 11 of Annabelle not sleeping through […]

A Christmas Angel

I was going to sit down and write all about the research behind my decision to go with raw milk for Annabelle once she turns 1 but I had to get some Christmas present wrapping done first. Not a present for Annabelle, or a friend or a family member. Presents for an angel from our […]

I love you, I wear you

I own 4 baby carriers. I realize some people might think it’s a little excessive, just like some people think breastfeeding at 9 months is a little excessive or that co-sleeping is extreme. Oh well. I believe it’s called attachment parenting and I’m HUGE fan. Annabelle is a very happy baby that loves to smile […]

Look at me mom, I’m walking!

Kind of walking, but still! So exciting! Annabelle has been pulling up for a LONG time now and crawling around on her belly for so long that I might have gone a little overboard with the crossing the midline excercises. I thought that might encourage her to crawl. Or at least help her little brain […]

My Milky Update

Where did the last few weeks go? I’ve been meaning to write, there’s been a lot to write about but somehow the days have managed to escape me. And I don’t really have much to show for it. The school year is now in full motion which means that I just have less time. That […]

Skinny mamma or milky mamma?

If you’ve been reading my blog you know that I’ve recently become obsessed with kettle bell bootcamp. I am still loving it and in the first 4 weeks I dropped 7.5 inches! As any exercise junkie I want others to love it as much as I do and feel as good as I do since […]

Baby Milestones

I’ve been so busy trying to deal with Annabelles separation anxiety and terrible sleeping habits that I haven’t shared any milestones! She’ll be 7 months in just a few days (on the 19th) and she is sitting up all by herself, going from crawling or laying down to sitting, pulling herself up to standing in […]
