Last night after much singing and a bit of fussing, Audrey was finally lay down in the pack and play at the foot of our bed, very asleep. We’ve been placing her in there the whole week at bedtime, and usually retrieve her a couple hours later when she wakes up and cries. It’s part […]

It’s time to night wean Audrey. She’s gonna be so pissed. But seriously, baby, you’re too old to be waking me up through the night to get a few sips of milk then pass out again but stay latched on while I lay there plotting how I will get you to roll over. And in […]

I know I need to blog daily. Today I’m feeling like it’s important to record what it was like to be a stay at home mother to two little ones, because in just a few years, it won’t be quite like this anymore. So here is what happened today. After breakfast, I drove Freya to […]

Another challenging day. I ended up at the store this afternoon to pick up sweet potatoes, avocado, and a few other things for dinner. I had a chicken taco salad in greens with brown rice and vegetables, Brian and Freya had chicken tacos in wheat tortillas with cheese. Not easy cruising the cart past the […]

Tonight Audrey played with her rings on a spindle toy. She was pretty into it. At one point she picked the whole thing up and carried it off into the dining room to work on it alone. Then once all the rings were stacked, she brought it back to show me. As I did with […]

It’s day ten. I’m a third of the way through my challenge. I have more energy during the day, my hair has become unusually soft, my (TMI ahead) bowels have calmed and regulated. Today I ate sardines for lunch. I love a nice sardine pâté. I had steel cut oats with fruit for breakfast. In […]

I’ve been without any refined sugar, dairy products, flour, legumes, coffee, or tomatoes for seven days. That is a first. My body is quite unused to going without these things, so is in some kind of adjustment phase. I think that’s why this is a 30-day regimen. Like kicking any other physical addiction, it takes […]

Today: made five and a half quarts of chicken stock. Visited the library with the kids. Drank lots of tea. Tried to eat creatively. As of yesterday, on the advice of a naturopathic doctor, I’m on a 30 day “whole foods” diet, which means nothing made with flour, no dairy, no refined sugar. Additionally, to […]

The rain is coming down hard and swirling around in the street, rushing swiftly through the gutters. Inside our warm, dry house, I’m having a cup of tea and watching the girls play together, baking some russet potatoes in the oven, enjoying the row of candles glowing on the mantel, listening to some old 1960s […]
