When I reserved this book from my library I had no idea if I would enjoy it or not. I don't read too many parenting books anymore because my kids are getting older. While attachment parenting is a topic near and dear to me I don't need a refresher on subjects like breastfeeding, babywearing, and co-sleeping so much. Rather I go for books about specific issues nowadays and geared toward older kids. I think I ended up getting it because I really, really like Mayim Bialik. I loved her show Blossom … [Read more...]

Natural Sleep Aids That Aren’t So Natural
Don't you just love the photo above? I imagine this is what me, my husband, and my six year old look like each night. Well, except I would never, ever have white sheets on our bed, and the six year old is likely to be laying sideways kicking one of us in he face. It is nice to imagine we look that peaceful though. ;) I have actually suffered from insomnia for a few years now and it has gotten better after I started exercising 4-5 days a week (about a year ago) and went paleo (about 4 months … [Read more...]
Feeling Hardcore Today or Why I Joined a CrossFit Gym
I joined a second gym this week. Sounds kind of crazy but I badly wanted to try CrossFit and you typically need to find a specialized CrossFit gym or "box" for that. My other gym is pretty darn awesome and I still plan to go there three times a week but they are pretty vanilla and just don't have kettlebells, rings, jump boxes, or medicine balls. I toyed with the idea of buying some kettlebells but heck good ones can cost $85 a pop. Plus I know myself well enough to know that I will not work out … [Read more...]
