Here’s a picture we took of her owie, it’s kind of blurry but you get the idea, the burns go across the hand and fingers, poor baby! The doctor said it looks pretty good as far as burns go, so we have another appointment on Friday and I’m sure again next week just to make […]

Tonight Guenna burned her hand on the wall heater in our bedroom. Since she has started walking she can get everywhere very quickly. We had not noticed that the heaters got that hot, but we found out the hard way. After calling the doctor they told us to take her into the emergency room. Jenni […]

Today I let the boys play outside because it was so nice out! It’s still kind of cold and their little hands get really cold after being out there for awhile but they love it and they do lots of “work” out there in the dirt and the rocks. […]

I don’t have a whole lot to report, we tried again this morning and he was excited to try but not a whole lot of success. What I did want to report was Guenna’s response. It was so cute. I sat Eamon on the toilet and Guenna walked up to him and started clapping! What […]

Dinner tonight

Whole wheat spaghetti with steamed veggies, broccoli, eggplant and zucchini. I also topped it with some of the homemade “cream cheese” I made yesterday. It was delicious!
Sidenote: I bought a jicima plant to try with the boys the other day and we had some before lunch today and the […]

Homemade “Cream Cheese” or cheese spread

This is really simple to make. I just put a quart of plain organic whole milk yogurt in a strainer lined with cheese cloth and let it sit over night. All the juice runs out through the cheese cloth and you have a cream cheese […]

A day I thought would never come, Eamon went potty in the toilet today! I was so surprised! We all cheered and danced, the boys got chocolate and there was great celebration in our house today. Now if he can remember how he did that, we could be on a roll by the time the […]

Yesterday while we were out Guenna started getting sick. She had a fever the second half the day and then just wasn’t herself. Last night she had a 103 degree temp all night, needless to say we didn’t get much sleep. She’s been real fussy all day today, sporadic sleep. I’m not really sure what […]

Enjoying our first hour of the conference, the keynote speaker had a lot of good things to say!

I feel so techy and pro-blogger being at a blogging conference. But let me be honest, I’m really not here for the conference, I would never have come on my own. I’m really only here because I wanted to share the experience with my husband who is totally excited to be here, but we are […]

For anyone that is interested we will be at this conference all day Saturday. If you want to see pictures of the event they are being posted on Flickr now with the tag of nv2007

The other day we spoke with someone who shared with us that her husband is leaving her. Our kids were with us and though they were playing around us while we were talking to this woman they were taking in the conversation. When we left Aidan asked, “were you praying with that lady because she […]

It snowed all morning! I couldn’t believe my eyes when I looked outside and saw the white stuff coming down, mixed with a lot of rain. But then it changed to big huge flakes and no rain, snowed for about four hours and then stopped(thankfully), and now I am glad to report that it is […]

All the kids are sleeping so I thought it would be a good time to write down some of my thoughts about this Raw Food diet I am doing. It’s been quite an adventure and really much easier than I thought it would be. My body has adjusted quickly to the changes in what I […]

Tonight we had a close call. In an attempt to feed my children healthy food I discovered that a harmless salad might not be as harmless as it appears. I like to have a few pine nuts on my salad and the rest of the family like them too, but the boys prefer them “next […]
