Corn Puns Abound!

The Pastor planned a fall outing for the gaggle of youths that he’s been ministering to. I decided to tag along with my kids, since I thought they would enjoy it. About half the youth (actually a litle less than half) we able (or desired) to make it. We went and wandered about corn “maize” [...]

Upcoming: The Great Laundry Adventure

I do an unbelievable amount of laundry. I know no one is really surprised by that. And I know what you’re thinking, “You’re whining about laundry, yet you willingly choose to use cloth diapers.” (If you weren’t thinking it, you would have been.) But my diaper laundry is really only a very small fraction of [...]

Double Trouble Kind of Week

I know what you are thinking. You’re thinking that sweet little man could not possibly be a handful. No, really. If his mother says he is, she must be lying. That cutie is not capable of mischief. No, not that sweet guy.
And that beautiful girl could not possibly be devious. Oh no! That just can’t [...]

Newborn Cloth Diaper Review

Emery is our first little one to have a fluffy bum from birth. I chose to go with mostly fitteds and covers for the newborn stage.  I also ordered some all-in-ones for this stage. I love the fitted option for a newborn! Those explosive newborn poos never leaked with our fitteds and covers. If the [...]

Two Years

Two years ago today, Aidan was born. Aidan was born via c-section because he was breech. They told me he was double footling breech, but I’m not too sure he was a true double footling. (A true double footling has knees and hips straight- like jumping into a pool feet first.) I have a feeling [...]

Emery is Born!

Since this is my blog, I decided I’d share Emery’s birth story here. So, be forewarned, this is a Mom’s story of labor and birth. If you aren’t a fan of such things, you should probably stop reading now and go to The Pastor’s blog for his manly take on the event!
Saturday morning, about 10 [...]

Lessons Learned

So, in my nostalgic mood, I began thinking about what each of my pregnancies has taught me. You’d think by the third one, you’d have it all down, but that just isn’t the case. Each one has revealed to me something new, something different. Each had a different lesson for me to learn.
My first pregnancy [...]

My Babies

As I get closer and closer to meeting Emery, I keep thinking about the other two during their newborn stage. Of course, I keep having dreams of meeting our new son. Imogene keeps asking me about babies, so I have had fun telling her all about her own newborn days. It really is an exciting [...]

Guess The Date!

For fun, we always guess the sex of the baby and the date the baby will be born. We spoiled one of those surprises this time. However, we can still guess the date! And this time, we decided we’d keep tabs for everyone to guess! I will get a prize for the winner (closest to [...]

“What do you need for Emery?”

That is a question I have been getting a lot lately, since Emery’s arrival is getting closer! The short answer is: cloth diapers. However, since cloth diapering is very personal and not very many people are familiar with it, the short answer doesn’t seem to help much. For the long answer, you can check out [...]
