Six years ago today on Friday the 13th I got the most wonderful gift... my last child, Mr. Parker. For years we called him Parkoo because that is what my then one year old daughter called him. Despite the fact that I was nursing him in tandem with his sister he was still the fattest little breastfed baby ever. Scrumptious! Of all my kids he has been the easiest and he does things in his own time and way. He hated co-sleeping and wanted to sleep in a crib until he hit the ripe old age of three, … [Read more...]

I would have had no place to pump so he was weaned a lot sooner then I would have liked. I STILL feel guilty … [Read more...]
Why Do I Blog?
I have been tagged by my friend and fellow natural mama, Carrie Lauth. She wants to know why I blog. Here are a couple of my reasons: I love to write. I have been writing since I was in gradeschool. Back then I would most commonly write fiction novels, some even reaching several hundred pages in length. It was very enjoyable. I wanted to be the next Nancy Drew or perhaps the next Carolyn Keene...I wasn't really sure. Well, as I grew older I stopped reading and writing fiction and in its place … [Read more...]
