Mommyhood
« Previous Entries Next Entries »Sew, what have you been up to?
Monday, December 27th, 2010Lately, I’ve been embracing my role as mommy and housewife and taking it to the next level: I’ve attempted to teach myself how to sew. This desire came originally from my mother, passed on to me through years of admiring her ability and aptitude at sewing. Not a single childhood Halloween experience exists in my [...]
Nothing like Nap Time!
Saturday, December 4th, 2010Being a relatively new mommy (how long am I considered “new”? My baby is almost a year old!), I am beginning to really appreciate nap time. Maddie is at the age now, at a bit over 11 months, where she usually takes one nap that lasts anywhere from an hour to over two hours. Sometimes [...]
Mommy Gear to the Rescue!
Saturday, November 13th, 2010I’m not a big dress wearer, but for something like a wedding, I want to look good (but not as good as the bride, of course!). Recently (okay… it was a few months ago), I got myself into a bind by thinking it would be easy to find a nice nursing dress to wear to [...]
Fabulous New Fluff!
Friday, September 3rd, 2010I just got my latest cloth diaper (aka fluff) shipment from Kelly’s Closet and I am SO excited! I ordered some much needed bolstering to my stash (including another BabyKicks organic fitted and two more Thirsties Duo Wraps for overnights), and got THREE new brands to try! The best part is two of them were [...]
Loving Cloth Diapering (or CDing, if you use the lingo)!
Monday, August 30th, 2010I started Maddie in cloth diapers for a number of reasons, about which you can read on my post Cloth Diaper Dilemma (I was trying to figure out the ropes!). I’ve since accumulated just over 20 cloth diapers of all different brands, styles, and colors. I have pre-folds and covers, pocket diapers, fitted diapers, and [...]
Cloth Diaper Dilemma
Monday, June 28th, 2010Being a new parent is an amazing blessing. The minute you discover you are going to be a parent, your life changes. The birth of your child is a wonderful miracle and instills feelings of love and devotion deeper than any you’ve ever felt before. There are so many new things to learn and discover, [...]
Baby in a Basket!, or Busy Busy Busy
Thursday, June 3rd, 2010Baby in a Basket! Originally uploaded by Gare and Kitty It’s been a long while since I posted… and it will probably be a few more weeks until a substantial post. In the meantime, however, here is what has been keeping me busy…. my darling daughter Madeline!! She’s here gleefully playing in a basket, a [...]
Organic Baby Play Mat? A new project!
Monday, March 15th, 2010Maddie has been growing like crazy, and is now uber aware of everything around her. She is just barely starting to reach for and bat at toys, although it’s not yet a controlled and always conscious thing. She is getting to the age, at almost 11 weeks old, where she gets bored after a while [...]
Baby Essentials: Mismatched Socks and Organic Bodysuits
Monday, March 1st, 2010Maddie just turned 2 months old on February 23rd, and she’s growing fast!! She weighs 12 lbs 12 oz and is 2 feet tall (or 24 inches long, whichever way you look at it) according to her well-baby visit with her doctor this morning!! She’s now wearing mostly 3 month or 3-6 month clothes, but [...]
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Sunday, February 28th, 2010I just wanted to write a quick thank you to everyone who responded to my last post about my daughter Madeline’s hearing loss. If you didn’t read it, you can find it HERE. I am so moved by the amount of love and support and the positive messages that have poured forth since my posting [...]
