Simply Frugal. Simply Healthy. Simply Happy.

I mentioned last week that we’ve begun working with Judah on his sleep schedule. Now that he’s four months old, I think he’s ready for a routine. Because he’s still so young, I want to be gentle in its implementation. Unfortunately, gentle for the baby is still pretty brutal for his parents. He’s responding incredibly [...]

On Sunday Judah Michael turned four months old. I meant to get this posted yesterday, but little Judah has been on a nap strike this week, so I spent my day wrangling a very. crabby. baby. I’ve been waiting for this milestone since he was born, because it seems four months is when they finally [...]

For the first three months of his life, Judah didn’t really have a “bedtime.” I realize the importance of starting a bedtime routine early on, but for a number of reasons, I’m only just now beginning the process. In the beginning, I spent all of my days holding Judah anyway (I still do, for the [...]

Judah and I returned home Saturday with a lovely cold — both of us.

I like to believe Judah’s just having a nice conversation with his stuffed jungle friends, but something about his tone makes me wonder if that giraffe has somehow offended him.

Judah and I are going on our first solo road trip! My sister is visiting from Canada, so we’re driving four hours north to my parents’ so we can see her, my niece, and my nephew before they move all the way out to the west coast. Unfortunately, Tony has to work all week, so [...]

At the beginning of this year, Tony was hired for a full-time teaching position, and our income doubled. That sounds like we’re making a lot more than we really are considering the fact that Tony was seriously underpaid as an adjunct professor. But for us, it’s a lot of money, and it’s finally enough to [...]

Disregard my improper use of the word “good” in place of “well.” I was trying to make Judah laugh, and he thinks poor grammar is hilarious.
