I’ve raved about inexpensive prefold diapers in the past, and I still think they’re a great entry into cloth diapering. They don’t require a huge financial investment, they’re easy to use, durable, and a snap to keep clean. However. As many of you seasoned cloth diapering moms warned me, prefolds have become cumbersome as Judah [...]

This new stage of development does not agree with me. I much preferred the days when Judah would sit still, snuggled safely in my arms out of harm’s way. It’s not that I wanted to keep him that way forever. I’m really looking forward to the fun stuff that comes along with having an older [...]

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.

With so many options, laundering methods, and rules, it seems so complicated. The good news? It’s really NOT as complicated as the Internet makes it seem. Which is actually [...]

Spend afternoon in a wretched mood due to sleepless night and crabby baby on nap strike. Inform husband that 15-minute break is necessary to maintain sanity. Escape house. Drive across town to Starbucks, because the only thing that can potentially turn this sour mood around is a decaf soy mocha. Play Dire Straits as loud [...]

It’s so overwhelming to consider cutting an entire food group out of my diet. I was already struggling to meet my daily calcium requirements, especially as a nursing mother. This is just going to make things that much harder. Not to mention, I love cheese, you guys. Like seriously love cheese. This dairy-free thing is [...]

So it appears my little boy has a nasty case of recurring reflux. Rats. He spits up buckets, fusses through the night, and seems to be in pain. Thankfully, we’ve avoided the consistent inconsolable colic that typically accompanies reflux. But there have been some rough nights. He also doesn’t seem to be sleeping for longer [...]
