With every birth of a child comes a small yet significant perk for the mother. Her body cycles slowwww down and take a little break from crazy fertility land into a nice, calm land where you don’t have to worry about cycles and late-night trips to the drug store. It’s really the only good thing… Continue reading B.L.A.S.P. – ing

A Lesson In Perspective
I was watching a bit of Tyra today while I was nursing Isaac and this woman was bawling about how since she had her kid she’s 20 pounds heavier and has stretch marks. She wasn’t into having sex or anything. That makes me so sad. I’ve ranted about this before but this pressure put on… Continue reading A Lesson In Perspective

Kids will gobble up something one day and then decide it’s disgusting the next day, what’s up with that? Okay, your diaper is leaking poop…but the carpet is brown… I used to have like… Continue reading Thursday Thirteen #12

But feel free to still buy him pressies or send money…ha ha!! It’s been slightly exhausting trying to avoid wheat, oats, milk and… Continue reading A Bunch of Stuff
NAET Allergy Experience.
So yesterday we went off to see the NAET specialist. I had no idea what to expect, I knew we would be doing acupressure. After coming out I felt ok but the lump in my tummy is getting bigger and bigger. According to her diagnostic techniques Silas is allergic to eggs, wheat, oats, chicken, peanuts… Continue reading NAET Allergy Experience.
Apples?
Another morning, me in my PJ’s drinking my twice (or three times) re-heated cup of coffee, blogging away. I’m the bearer of good and bad news this morning, that’s why I’m writing early, I just need to talk about stuff. Last night Silas and I made this video. I wasn’t expecting it to turn out… Continue reading Apples?
Leah The Nugget
I have this problem and I really don’t know how to make it better. It’s a major major flaw that I have a hard time even wanting to change. I never ever ever get out. I seriously can be locked in my house for a week and hardly notice that I haven’t left. Once I… Continue reading Leah The Nugget

Peanut Allergy Haters?
I came across a Facebook group last night as I was searching for a group of parents who had kids with peanut allergies. The group is called I Hate People With Peanut allergies. I thought the group might just be kind of silly but much to my dismay, I came across these things: “I’ve got… Continue reading Peanut Allergy Haters?
The Universe Conspires
Just when I’d had enough, when I thought not much more could really go wrong, the Universe decided to throw another one at me. I had just exited my kitchen on my way to lay on the couch with Isaac and nurse him when the Universe grabbed my foot and placed it ever so perfectly… Continue reading The Universe Conspires
Sometimes I Don’t Feel Like Making A Title.
Every time I sit down here I draw a blank about what I had been planning to write about so I just blab and blab and blab with no direction. I wish I could remember because I’m not finding anything to blab about either. Hmmmmmm. Ikey’s nursing wacky again (I just remembered what I was… Continue reading Sometimes I Don’t Feel Like Making A Title.
Depressed
A year ago I was feeling so great. Feeling like I wouldn’t ever get hit by the depression bug ever again, feeling like I’d always stay skinny and that my passion for eating healthy would stay with me. I would say that it’s easy to not emotional eat, it’s easy to stay happy. I hate… Continue reading Depressed
Shattering Into Pieces
Last night I had the shock of my life. I cooked supper and threw some peanut sauce on our stir fry without thinking. I thought about it for a second and then thought it should be ok for Silas to have a little this time. I’ve been avoiding peanuts because there’s so many allergies in… Continue reading Shattering Into Pieces

We had just sung Happy Birthday to my niece Ali so Silas decided to continue singing for her. This… Continue reading Videos!!
Pent Up
The past few days I’ve been feeling kind of pent up. It’s a weird feeling, like I wanted to freak out all over the place. I eventually gave into last night and just got really hyper…manic much?? *sigh* it was another one of those flashback thingies I’ve been getting, almost like that part of my… Continue reading Pent Up
