Recently we’ve been battling Annabelles second ear infection. She got her first one at four months and had to endure three rounds of antibiotics (one round of which was three days of antibiotic injections) before it finally went away. We went to see an ENT and by the time we got in to see him […]

Feeling better and eating better has made me want to detox. I want to cleanse soooo bad. But I can’t. If you drop weight too fast or cleanse/detox while your breastfeeding the toxins get released into your breastmilk which means that baby gets them for dinner. Or breakfast or lunch. You get the picture. I […]

As Annabelle has now entered the world of finger foods and apparently thinks she’s too big to be fed with a spoon we have opened up a whole new world. At home all the meat and chicken we eat is organic, antibiotic and hormone free and grass fed when possible so that’s all Annabelle has […]

This has been an insanely long week for Annabelle and I. She hasn’t wanted to sleep in her crib at all, she woke up about 30 min after I wrote my last post and refused to go back into her crib until tonight. Every time I get up off the rocker or start lowering her […]

When babies crawl they do what is called ‘crossing the midline’ which really just means that one hand crosses over to the […]

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 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 […]

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 […]
