Wow, Silas’ birthday party is next week!! I’m so excited. It’s just going to be very small this year, just family pretty much. I can’t handle a crowd, I just don’t wanna. 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?

Ikey Okie Oh is 5 whole months old today. Man, time goes by fast with baby #1 but with #2 it’s like WAAAAYYY faster. Because time is already going fast with #1! I really can’t believe we’re at 5 months. One more month and we’re half way done this whole baby thing. What a bitter… Continue reading Ikey Is 5 Months Old!
Dearest Isaac
Oh my Ikey darling, how your frustrate me so. With your “special” whine and your aversion to my bosoms. You cry whenever I leave your sight and you insist on sleeping with me at night, you wouldn’t have it any other way. Oh Isaac, you’ve been constantly drooling and pooping these past few weeks. Your… Continue reading Dearest Isaac
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
Closet Co-Sleeper
I have a confession to make. I’ve always thought that co-sleeping wasn’t for me, I’ve always thought that it was rather dangerous and it was spoiling your child. But I do confess that these past 4 months I’ve become a full fledged co-sleeper. It just crept up on me and now these last few weeks… Continue reading Closet Co-Sleeper
Thursday Thirteen #10
Thirteen Things about The Informal Matriarch 13 things I’m proud of My musical abilities, especially my singing voice. Teaching myself to sing harmony and then teaching myself to find the 3rd part on the fly. I had to learn that quickly because of singing at the church I’m at, I figured it out and now… Continue reading Thursday Thirteen #10
Saved By The Mom
Yesterday was one of the hardest days I’ve experienced as a mother. I want to cry just thinking about it. Silas was awful, just completely horrible and I have the bruises to prove it. I don’t know if it was the ear infection or teething or what but he was a monster. He’d pick the… Continue reading Saved By The Mom
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
Bye Bye Fuzzies
I have warm fuzzies floating under my skin. I just cuddled in bed with Silas in hopes of him calming down and getting some nap time. He listens to this lullaby CD and I don’t know all the songs. He wants me to sing along so I just make things up like “Silas go to… Continue reading Bye Bye Fuzzies
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
